Ashvini''s Rating: 5/5
Emma's Rating: 3.5/5

Ashvini:
I’m still so speechless by the ending of this book! In I.D, Vicki Grant gives readers a taste of a very different lifestyle that isn’t typically touched on in books. The tone and just the way the main character talks and thinks really feels authentic to that very southern environment.
Although this book is so short it still manages to get a hold of you and fall in rhythm with Chris (the main character)’s thinking, and just when you think something’s really going to work out it’s completely the opposite. Though, now looking back I kind of feel like Chris gxxxx tx xxxl (blocked out due to spoilers) was meant to be because he was so caught up in his own needs, that he never stopped to look at the bigger picture.
I kind of wish that there were a few more clues leading up to the conclusion, just to tie it off with a bow. (I feel like that just made everything so much more intense - Emma)
 Other than that though, I think this book was very well written with a unique setting. I guess the big question, once you’ve finished the novella is: is what Chris did okay? Comment down below with your thoughts!


Emma:
Wow! That was literally my first thought when I finished this book. When Ashvini first came up to me with this book for me to read I had judged it by how small and thin it was.
 But as I read on I begun to realize that Vicki actually found a way to make those 101 pages interesting with the biggest twist at the end as well. I found myself  feeling happy, sad and embarrassed for Chris throughout the book.
This book was absolutely great. I especially  loved how the book kept me engaged from the very beginning. When I neared the end of the book I remember thinking how the book was going to end with only about X pages left (blocked out due to spoilers). Then the explosion happened. It wasn't a literal explosion but what happened was so, so, so shocking.  I wasn't expecting it. I related it to an explosion because when the book ended it was just you and your thoughts. Okay and maybe my questions to.
I really enjoyed this book. Vicki Grant is a great author and I cannot wait to read another one of her wonderful books. Thoughts anyone?


Can you guess what our next review will be on? HINTS: It's one in a brand-new seven book middle grade series. Can you keep SECRETS?

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly,
Ashvini and Emma

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone, As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season. We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink!                        Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines. Photo Source: Goodreads Maybe I’m pushing it here with ...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...
