Review: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Title: Passenger
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Publisher: Hyperion


Review: I just finished Passenger—as in, two minutes ago just. Normally it can take me a while to write a review but with Passenger I just couldn’t wait. In my opinion, it was the best of Alexandra Bracken’s books so far—which is how it should be. I really love being able to see an author grow. Passenger was fast-paced and incredibly engaging with characters you fall in love with from the very first page.


At the beginning, I found Passenger a bit hard to follow but part of that could have come from the fact that being an e-galley made the formatting a bit wonky. After the first chapter or two, I found my rhythm in it and from then I loved it until the very last page. Even if you don’t find time travel particularly interesting, you should read it all the same. Passenger has the best aspects of multiple genres and mixing them all beautifully. Alexandra Bracken combines time travel, action, historical fiction, and romance to create a uniquely unforgettable novel you won’t be able to put down.

Spring Reads 2019

I'm coming up to the end of my semester which is a relief. The most exciting part is that I'll finally have time to read! I'm also planning on finally playing some of the video games that the Internet and my boyfriend have been telling me to play for forever.  I thought I would share with y'all the books I'm most looking forward to reading as soon as my exams are over.  Also, for the sake of transparency, the links in this post are affiliate links to Amazon. These don't change the price for you, but I do get a percentage of the cost of anything you buy through the link. It would be great if you used these links, but please feel free to buy these books however you want or get them at your local library.  I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver May 28, 2019 Buy from Amazon When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husb...

College Decisions

Today I received my financial aid package from the university other than my local one that was most likely to give me the most aid. And it still wasn't enough. This means that I'll almost definitely be staying in Birmingham for college. While my top choice school is all the way in Philadelphia, I'm not as bummed about staying in town ass I previously thought I would be. Over the past few months, I've been warming to the idea of staying in the city for college and now, having made this decision, I feel pretty good about it. I'll be able to keep my current job and be able to keep volunteering at the Birmingham Crisis Center. I also have a friend who will be going to the same college and another who might be my roommate next year, which is really exciting. This also allows me to graduate with as few student loans as possible. This may not be the most fun post with all the talk about money, but I'm excited! I graduate in 2 months and six days and prom is less th...

Doing It by Hannah Witton I've unfortunately only been watching Hannah's videos for about six months now, but once I started I never looked back. That's why I knew I had to pick up her book, Doing It . It's a fun book that focuses on sex and relationships education for teens and young adults. Because a lot of it is written from her perspective it does at time skew more feminine, but I think it's a great resource for people of all genders. Witton includes both personal anecdotes and social advice, but she also gives anatomical information and scientific advice. She talks about reproductive systems as they are and work biologically, rather than as connected to a person of a certain gender, because she acknowledges that these do not always align. Something else she does to ensure the book is as inclusive as possible is having guest contributors. When there was a topic Hannah wanted to cover but didn't have experience with, she had a friend or an expert write a ...
