All These Things I've Done
by Gabrielle Zevin














All These Things I've Done is set in a fascinatingly refreshing future, where things like chocolate and coffee are banned and corruption runs deep.  The main character is a girl with a shady family history, just looking to live a normal-ish life under the circumstances.  The book maintains a fast-paced intrigue throughout the story's telling, with well-developed main characters and a complicated but clear and compelling storyline.  Simply put, this book is good.  I did think the main love interest was a little too one dimensional in his perfection, but they still made an adorable pairing.  The story's resolution happens pretty quickly, but doesn't feel rushed (or it does, but that's how it should feel, rushed and intense).  I did not see that ending coming, although there was some foreshadowing there, and the book definitely left me stunned for hours after finishing.  Fantastic writing from Zevin, as usual.

Rating: 5/5

James Dashner

The Death Cure written by James Dashner No, really, what did I read and why ?  James Dashner, what, what, what are you doing?  There are a few cool reveals along the way, but as far as books go, this was not a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy.  We get answers, but the one thing I wanted to know most of all (Thomas' past) remains a mystery.  It felt like most of this book was pointless action that dragged on for no reason, so even though there were things happening, it felt like nothing was happening at all.  The plot was not advanced.  It was violence for the sake of violence.  Theresa and Thomas were, at this point, the only two characters I cared about, and Teresa barely showed up at all in the entirety of the story.  The ending was rushed, and yes, I enjoyed the few twists we got at the very  end (the last page ), but come on.  This was a story that needed answers and plot twists and instead, we got epic battle scenes that I didn't ...

Review: Cowboy Villain Damsel Duel - Ginger Scott

Review: Cowboy Villain Damsel Duel - Ginger Scott - January 2020 With this book, I wasn't sure what to expect but with the tagline, Riverdale meets Inception and the title sounding like clique identities and the number #1 fact that it was written by Ginger Scott, I knew it would be a book that I would read as soon as I could. I have to admit it was mind-blowing and as you read the book without giving too much away it was very much less Riverdale to myself and a WHOLE lot Inception with the whole dream within a dream within a dream feel to the book. I do have to admit in parts I was confused as we don't until the latter part of the novel get to know the character's real names - they are labeled Cowboy, Damsel and Villain in their alternate dream worlds and in their everyday high school lives they are the popular jock Quarterback leading the school to victory, the Class President and all-rounder working her way to make sure she gets Valedictorian and then the burnout who spe...
