Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
—«♠»— No mourners, no funerals. Another way of saying good luck. But it was something more. A dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose. —«♣»— Not gonna lie, I had to drag myself…

Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (pitch)
So in English Lit. we had to use persuasive techniques to pitch a book. Enjoy, binches. —«·»— I don’t know about you, but I went through a phase where I was just done with YA fantasy novels. Every world was a thinly-veiled regurgitation of Tolkien’s Middle-Earth. Plots suffered under the bloated weight of bad planning….

One of being that the website is currently going through updates to improve user experience and make book reviews accessible for everyone! We have an exciting news to share which we will announce very shortly. Until then, read, review, repeat!
The Famous Five: Five on a Treasure Island
This book is what got me into famous five in the first place. In the beginning, the reader is pretty frustrated (including me) to the way Georgina acts in front of her own cousins. The book REALLY starts to get interesting as it finishes. Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves thriller.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down
While many wimpy kid books focus on Greg’s general life. This book in particular focuses on different lifestyles of Greg and a guy he meets who lives in a rural area. This book is very funny and gave me a good laugh. Highly recommended to the younger people who like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Goosebumps #1: Escape from the Carnival of Horrors
Personally, this is my first book that I have read which is actually interactive with the reader. You make the decisions! This book is filled with thriller, and horrors (which is already specified in the book). Highly recommended to anyone who loves thriller and suspense.
The Count of Monte Cristo
Another classic and famous book out there in literature. This is very interesting books with plentiful of twists in it as well. Recommended to the reader who loves classic literature.
Moby Dick
This is a classic, and famous book which (hopefully) everyone knows about. Recommended to the reader who’s into classical literature.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School
This book pretty much explains why parents always complain about new technology and their “back in my days” stuff. It’s also filled with pretty funny parts as well.
The Secret Seven: Go Ahead, Secret Seven
This book is VERY interesting in terms of thriller, and suspense. It is the story of 7 children along with a famous dog and their ‘secret service’ kind of thing. Like every other book, I highly recommend it.v
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever
This book pretty much sums up your childhood and how you grew up with things you liked. Again, as with every wimpy kid book, this book is also hilarious.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel
This is an old Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, however, it is still filled with humour and general auto-biography details you would expect from this book. It’s just like any wimpy kid book: great.
Jurassic World: Special Edition Junior Novelisation
This book is very good in terms of attention to detail in small things such as describing the original Jurassic Park to describing the Indominus Rex. Humour is also present in the book added with suspense, and thriller. Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Jurassic Park franchise.
