Just Listen

Jul 5, 2016 | Sarah
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen |

What seems like a light read quickly reveals that there is more going on with our narrator, Annabel Greene, than she herself is willing to admit. Nevertheless, Sarah Dessen masterfully balances the light and heavy passages in her book, resulting in a quick read that also makes a lasting impact.

Wuthering Heights

Jun 28, 2016 | Sarah
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë |

Declarations and accusations, desires and sacrifices, love and hate; Wuthering Heights is a tale of very real and intense human emotions. Nelly’s account of the story of the residence and its tenants is oddly captivating but the story itself is somewhat difficult to accept. Wuthering Heights was an interesting literary experience, recommended for literature aficionados and masochists…you sort of have to be to take on this beast of a novel!

Fangirl

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell |

I am a fangirl.

When I was 11 years old, I discovered the Harry Potter discussion boards and it was all downhill from there. Fanfiction, RP*, making graphics for my favourite OTPs: I was hooked and I was hooked hard. The list of fandoms that I was into only grew as my friend list did, mostly because we would constantly be sending each other recs. So when I found out that this book existed, I knew that I had to read it.

Ripper by Amy Carol Reeves |

A well-crafted, immersive tale taking the best of classic gothic – strong, sometimes-cryptic characters, an intriguing, slightly dark thematic – combined with a modern pace that caters to Generation Y readers; an absolute joy to read!

Sanctum

Sanctum by Sarah Fine |

I am a city girl, through and through. Consequentially, I love it when an author can turn a city into a character in its own right. In Sanctum, Sarah Fine does not disappoint and her version of hell; the dark, gritty underworld city is just the right amount scary and cold, with buildings that breath and grow around their residents.

It doesn’t hurt that there are basically ninjas guards zipping around said city.
