Book Review: These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch

October 4, 2018October 4, 2018 ~ Justine ~ 6 Comments

I had been hearing a lot of buzz around this book and was so excited to read it. I love a fun pirate book and These Rebel Waves sounded like it was exactly what I wanted. Then, I began to hear mixed reviews as proofs were released into the world. I was given a couple of warnings about this book and I am so glad I had them. My expectations were well-managed and I ended up really enjoying These Rebel Waves, but I think I would have been incredibly displeased if I hadn’t had those warnings, which I am going to pass on to you.

Flash Reviews: Nonfiction Science

April 18, 2018April 18, 2018 ~ Justine ~ 2 Comments

It’s time for another set of flash reviews! Today, I’m focusing on nonfiction science, specifically books about space. Now you may know that I’m completely obsessed with space. If I had the right kind of brain, I would have been an astronomer. However, I’m more of a reader than a scientist, so instead of studying the stars I read science fiction and books by authors like Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Flash Reviews: Science Fiction Classics

So I have been reading a lot lately. Seriously, a lot. And while I’ve been trying to dedicate myself to writing a review for every single book I read, that’s just not really possible. Sometimes, regardless of my feelings for a book, I just can’t quite come up with a full-length review! This is neither a good thing nor a bad thing -- it just means I can sum up my feelings quickly.

Ah, the most dreaded situation for many bloggers and reviewers. You read a book that you absolutely hated, for whatever reason, and now you have to review it. To make things even worse, it was sent to you by the publisher! What do you do? Do you write the negative review? Do you post negative reviews at all?

It’s time for another discussion post! I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how book blogging and BookTube have changed their reading habits.

So I’ve done a video review for Electric Dreams already, but I wanted to get one up here too. I know there has been some good reaction to my Beginner’s Guide to Science Fiction (part one and part two), and Electric Dreams is the perfect book for anyone looking to get started with sci-fi.
