Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Review

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading “Fangirl” by Rainbow Rowell and I surprisingly loved it. I thought it would be a boring YA story but it had lots of things that I wasn’t expecting it to.  “Fangirl” tells the story of Cath, who at the start of the story is off to her first year at college with her twin sister Wren. Cath wants to be a fan fiction author, which she already is unbeknownst to her friends and teachers at college. Her sister and dad are the only one who knows. Cath and Wren’s dad plays a role in “Fangirl” in that he let’s the girls know when they’ve messed up as all parents should. He doesn’t let them get away with making mistakes. He makes sure they own them. He’s an inventor. He makes up ads for “Gravioli,” a jam. Anyway, back to the main plot. Cath isn’t sure where to go when she first gets to college. Her and Wren aren’t very close now, when in their childhood they were very close. Why? It’s to do ...

Five Survive by Holly Jackson Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   How are you all? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished  “Five Survive”  by Holly Jackson, which I enjoyed.  “Five Survive”    is a fast paced YA thriller. I haven’t read the A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder series, which the author is probably more well known for but I have “The Reappearance Of Rachel Price” sat on my shelf, which is again a YA standalone thriller. I read this in the space of 24 hours so it was fast paced.  “Five Survive”   is told over the time frame of  “eight hours.”  I read 5 Survive for a couple of readathons. They were:  Reading Rivalry, the Facebook group I’m a part of - Angry Eyes - there are plenty of angry characters in this story. Yellow cover - under the dust jacket the book is bright yellow! I don’t want to write many spoilers for this book because it’s a thriller and I believe it’s best to experience the events first hand.  Spoilers Below… Eight friends are on their...

Binti: Home by Nnedi Okorafor Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished  “Binti: Home,”  the second Binti novella and I really enjoyed it! I read this back in March but I’ve realised I never posted it!  3 Stars!  Binti: Home tells the story of Binti when she goes home from Oomza University, the planet that she travelled to in the first novella to study to become a Master Harmonizer, like her father. She takes her friend Okwu with her. He’s finally sexed here as a male, but is still referred to as it as well as he, him. While on earth, Binti learns of a secret organisation that her grandmother is a part of. Could she be a part of it too?  Spoilers Below… “The sunlight shined on me edan, which floated before me in a network of current, a symmetry of parts. I’d never seen it disassemble like this and making it do so had not been my intention. I’d been trying to get the object itself to communicate with me by running current between its demarcations.”   Binti is trying to work out...

From Lukobv with Love by Mariana Zapata Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you today? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading  “From Lukov With Love”  by Mariana Zapata and I really enjoyed it! (I wrote this re view back in February but I never posted it)!  “From Lukov With Love”  is a sports romance. It’s told from our FMC, Jasmine’s POV. I’d say it was new adult or certainly more aimed at older teenagers/adults because of scenes at the end of the novel. Jasmine is already a figure skater before the story starts. She was dumped by her old partner, so she just skates for herself at the beginning of the book. That’s when our MMC, Ivan Lukov comes into the story. He needs a parter to skate at Worlds with and his coach thinks that Jasmine would be a good option. This arrangement is only meant to last the year, until Worlds are over, though. Then Ivan is supposed to help Jasmine find a new partner. Can he give her up? You’ll have to read to find out!  There is a descriptive sex sc...

Spellslinger (Spellslinger #1) by Sebastien de Castell Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished  “Spellslinger”  by Sebastien de Castell and I really enjoyed it!  Kellen is the MMC of  “Spellslinger.”  At the beginning of the book he’s fighting his arch nemesis Tennat to get ready for his mage trials. In this world, you’re only considered worthy of life if you pass your mage’s trials by your 16th birthday. However, Kellen doesn’t have the ability to pull power into himself. Why? You’ll have to read for yourself but I really enjoyed where the plot went. From when he meets the mysterious, Ferius Parfax and gains an unlikely companion the plot picks up. I’m glad to say this was an easy read. There weren’t any tough or complex things to understand.  I read  “Spellslinger”  for one readathons, which was: Reading Rivalry - book with a red cover - the cover is red, grey, white and black but I’d say the dominant colour is red!  Theres some bad language i...
