They Both Die at the End Book Review (Spoiler-Free)
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera is a heartwarming and raw look into the topic of death.
The story follows our two main characters, Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio. Mateo is a reserved eighteen-year-old. His dad is in a coma and he's extremely antisocial and afraid to do anything. Rufus, on the other hand, is a seventeen-year-old orphan. He has a gang known as “The Plutos” based on their orphanage. He’s also the sole survivor of a car crash that killed his whole family.

The plot of Shade follows Detective Jack Diamond as he tries to stop a serial killer from killing a woman named Sara Michaels, who exhibits some of the physical traits the killer looks for in his victims.
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty Review
I loved every second of Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Like many others, I came to this book after the TV show. At the time of this writing, I am living in Monterey where a great portion of the show was filmed. I’m leaving within the week, and I wanted to give this book a go before I left, even though I knew the book itself took place in Australia.
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie Review
As for a standalone, I certainly think this can be read separately from the main First Law series.
The same is often said for books like The Heroes (which I have read) and Red Country (which I haven’t).
The Heroes, for me, felt like a book that would be enjoyed more having read the First Law first (which I did.) While I agree it can be read by itself, I’d easily recommend Best Served Cold as a great place to start for those looking for a standalone.
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by VE Schwab Review
I’ve oscillated a lot with my opinion on it since finishing. I’ll settle with it’s not “as good” as everybody says, but it's not a “bad” read, either.
I should open by saying that I like the writing style of V.E. Schwab. This was my first attempt at a Schwab novel. While it may not have me running out to get another one immediately, I’m certainly open to reading more of her work.
Rhythm of War Decompression Chat **SPOILERY AFFF**
It has been 12 hours since I finished Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.
While I am decompressing, I need to let out my thoughts.
I will start with what I did not like, just to get it out of the way.
I Read My FIRST LitRPG Novel! Pyresouls Apocalypse REVIEW!
Pyresouls Apocalypse by James T. Callum is a great book. Admittedly, it was my first in the Literary Role Playing Game — or LitRPG — genre.
Piranesi is an Incredible Examination of the Human Mind
"An incredible look into the human mind, what it means to exist, what it means to have memories, the very idea of trust and identity, and, yes, isolation. Loneliness. But through all of that… desire, and longing, and hope, and searching for something that is different than the present and greater than the past."
