Review: I'll Stop The World - Lauren Thoman - April 2023

Scrolling through the Kindle, I clicked on I'll Stop the World by Lauren Thoman. I didn't know what it would be like, but once I started reading it - I was captivated and it reminded me of that new movie named Totally Killer where the girl goes back in time to stop a serial killer from killing off her mum's friends. In I'll Stop the World, Justin has lived with no motivation and is an angry kid. The school is also named after his grandparents who died in a fire back in 1985. The town expects great things from him, but he isn't showing any promise. That is until he finds himself going back in time to 1985 - the week leading up to the accident that killed his grandparents and left his mother an orphan. Stuck in 1985, a world Justin doesn't know - can he maneuver around in it and save his grandparents from death? Will he be able to get back to the present time or will he be stuck in 1985 forever and grow old? I did love the connections in this book at the end between Justin and his Uncle Stan and then Justin and Rose in the future.
If you love Back to the Future and the new movie Totally Killer you will love I'll Stop the World by Lauren Thoman.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
