Where have you been? Oh, you're Right Where I Left You!

Hello, and welcome to the final book of my era that was essentially a landslide of books that were released in March and April. And I remember this happening either last year or the year before at this exact time. Still, I’m talking about Right Where I Left You by Julian Winters. So, this Blurbie Dreamhouse Adventures is actually a bit long, but, newly graduated, comic book-obsessed Isaac Martin is gearing up for an epic summer. Teen Pride is coming, and if all goes to plan, he’ll get to meet his comic-writing heroes at Legends Con. And the next few months are also about spending every waking moment with his best friend, Diego, before heading to college without him in the fall. Should he find his storybook love, that’s a bonus. Then a meet-cute with old high school crush, Davi, leaves Isaac starry-eyed (Ellie Goulding tease) and without the convention badges. Then Isaac has to break the news to Diego, and Isaac can’t figure out why Diego seems more annoyed about Davi being around th...

I don't Kiss & Tell, but I do when the book slaps

Now I’m not going to lie, the Darius the Great books by Adib Khorram are some of my favourites of all time, so I was excited to finally get a new book from Khorram. That’s all there was to that point. My only other point I have for this is that this is one of the final two books I had for that era of loads coming out in March and April. My copy of the book doesn’t have its blurb on the back of the book – there’s just praise on the back. The blurb is on the inside of the first page, like where it would be on a hardback, despite my copy being paperback. This isn’t a complaint, it’s just an odd choice for a paperback. Also, if you want the video version of this post (CLICK HERE) Still, the blurb says that Hunter never expected to be in a boy band, let alone the kind whose exploits get splashed across tabloid covers. But how his band, Kiss & Tell, is on its first major North American tour, and life in the limelight is harder – and more complicated – than he ever could have imagined....

All That's Left in the World! That's the title for this post...

  So, this book, All That’s Left in the World by Erik J. Brown was one of those books that I found out about thanks to Twitter, and it is a part of that era of a pile of books that were and are coming out in March and April – I will say, there are only two more books after this one in that era, however, so we are coming to the end of it. Now, remember when I complained about how busy The Infinite Noise was. When I complained, it was because it had a bunch of those quotes of praise just busying up the covers. Thankfully this book does the very opposite of that. There is not a single quote of praise on either the front or back cover. The front cover is stunosha (in this dressiana), and the back cover is literally nothing but the blurb, but it’s printed so it looks like it’s on an old sign, and I’m a big fan of that. This is one of those books that if I were to judge it solely by its cover, I’d love it straight up. But as for the blurbo from my shows, it says that Jamie and Andrew a...
