Review: The Sun and the Star
The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro I rearranged by TBR list specially so I could read this book so soon after its release. I don’t normally do this, but I went out and bought the book the day it was in stores—coincidentally the day I passed my driving test for…

My Top 10 Favourite Tropes

Because of this, while I can enjoy several different genres, my favourites are Fantasy and Science Fiction.…

Review: The Titan’s Curse
The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan 5 stars – one of my favourites! Book three of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This book is another high one on my list. I could read this one just on its own—you know without the rest of the series. I love it! No read dates available.…
