The book blog of your dreams

Hello!
And welcome! I'm very happy that you've somehow found my blog. I'm Havana Banana "What, that can't be your actual name??! (well, it can, probably, people give their kids weird names nowadays, but to answer your question, no, no it's not my real name). On my blog you'll find short reviews on books that I've enjoyed reading and hopefully I can give you some book recommendations. I read quite a lot of young adult books (because oh my God they're so good!!). My favourite genres of books are sci-fi, fantasy, dystopia, manga and comic books. But a few fiction novels and non-fiction will probably sneak their way in, onto my blog.

 I hope that you'll find my reviews helpful to find your next read or if you've already read the book I'm reviewing, please leave a comment! What did you think of it? I'd love to discuss it!

 Happy reading!

"Okay, Havana Banana, if that's even your real name (it's  not), we get it. You read Nobel Prize winners, as do at least 50 billion other humans" (right?!). Hear me out. Sometimes b...

orbiting jupiter ✵ g.d.smith

When Jack meets his new foster brother, he already knows three things about him: Joseph almost killed a teacher. He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain. He has a daughter. Her name is Jupiter. And he has never seen her. What Jack doesn’t know, at first, is how desperate Joseph is to find his baby girl. Or how urgently he, Jack, will want to help. But the past can’t be shaken off. Even as new bonds form, old wounds reopen. The search for Jupiter demands more from Jack than he can imagine. (Source:  GoodReads ) If I was in charge of what kind of books kids should read in school (which SADLY I am not), I'd say they should read this one. This is a an incredibly insightful novel, of what life for some children is like, the lives of kids we don't really hear an awful lot about. But we should hear about them, because they exist and this it's real and important. This book will tear your soul and heart apart and you'll shed a tea...
