![]() ![]() I mean, I’m not the only one who pictures stories as though they’re happening right in front of me, right? Words don’t come to life by just being words, imagination helps. Seriously, this book would’ve fared better without the sex scenes. ![]() “Literature is all, or mostly, about sex.” There were a lot of unnecessary parts (scenes and descriptions) in this book and whenever I come upon Kafka having sex with Miss Saeki, I can’t help but remember the quote by Anthony Burgess: Kafka on the Shore is my first Haruki Murakami book and jeez Louise, I’ve never been so confused in my life. **I wrote this part while I was still at page 380, just to see how much difference there’ll be in opinions once I’ve actually completely reading the book.** The nature of this review is also different from the ones I’ve done before. ![]() ![]() The story is compelling – and there are turns to it that make me really eager to get my hands on the second volume (which I hope is coming soon *hint hint, Scholastic, please*). It has elements of both, and while Tabby, the main character is fifteen, it can easily be suitable for younger readers who are more used to a middle grade diet. ![]() The Rema Chronicles: Realm of the Blue Mist kind of slots in between the two categories. And graphic novels somehow always end up in that category for me, especially ones that fit in the YA and MG space. OPINIONS: This is the latest in a series of comfort reads – as you can probably tell if you’ve been reading my recent reviews. As Tabby learns more about this strange world, she discovers that she is destined for something far greater than she ever could have imagined. He has his own dangerous secrets, but he has promised to help Tabby get home. While Tabby searches for the truth surrounding her father’s death, she meets a handsome blue-haired boy named Philip. ![]() She is unexpectedly led to Rema, a distant world of magic and beauty that is periodically invaded by a nearby planet desperate for resources. ![]() SUMMARY: Tabby Simon is determined to learn what happened to her father, who was found dead after researching a tree that leaks a mysterious mist in her neighbourhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() Check out more thrilling titles in the Ruthless People series: RUTHLESS PEOPLE #1 "One Marriage + Two Bosses = 3X the Chaos."

![]() ![]() So, I had to choose between Zami and The Cancer Journals. (I broke this rule once: I’m reading both Fun Home and its sequel, Are You My Mother- I rationalize this because they are both graphic memoirs and therefore faster reads). When compiling my reading list, I tried not to include two works by the same author, prioritizing reading as many voices as possible. I had read a little of The Cancer Journals in a memoirs of illness seminar, and probably a few other poems across the course of my education. ![]() ![]() I thought I knew one of her other poems, one that my grandma had cut out of the newspaper and mailed to me when I was 14, but apparently that was actually by Elizabeth Alexander.
