By
A book that catalogues all of the misconceptions, mistakes, and misunderstandings in common knowldge. 4 stars.

Three years ago Allison disappeared, her friends mourned her but they were also secretly relieved. They each carried a secret that only Allison had known. Panic breaks out when, they start receiving messages about those secrets. Are they being betrayed? Worse: Is Allison back? 5 stars. My Review

Four girls-Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna have been bad very bad girls, and they carry those secrets. Secrets that could destroy their perfect little lives, and someone named "A" is threatening to do just that. 5 stars.

Four perfect girls are not so perfect. Lucky me. I know these pretty little liars better than they know themselves. It's hard keeping their secrets to myself. They better do as I say... or else. ~ "A" 5 stars.
Note: If you would like a detailed review of any of these books, please comment and I will get it posted as soon as possible.

The Dangerous World of Butterflies by Peter Laufer

By
Peter Laufer used to believe that butterflies and flowers are an analogy for tranquility. He needed an answer for a persistent question and as a journalist he was tired of war and the horrible things in the world, so on a whim Peter Laufer said he was going to write about butterflies. Little did he know that an American lady living in Nicaragua would take him seriously and invite him to her little piece of land to begin exploring the world of butterflies. Peter Laufer had no idea what a treacherous world he was about to step into.  The Dangerous World of Butterflies is this story of exploration. Peter Laufer discovers collectors, criminals, and cops all obsessed with these tiny and miraculous creatures. He explores the roles of butterflies in history and different cultures’ mythology and art. He stumbles into stories of organized crime, ecological devastation, and a growing list of endangered butterflies. Your garden, the creatures in it, and the world will not look the same to

Life of Pi by: Yann Martel

By
A cargo ship sinks in the Pacific and all that remains is one lonely lifeboat. The lifeboat's crew is: a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, an orangutan, a Bengal tiger by the name of Richard Parker, and Pi, an Indian boy. As the crew members begin to assert their places in the food chain, Pi has to focus on getting to the top and how to deal with a Bengal tiger that grows hungrier by the day. Will Pi survive an impossible journey? At the mention of Life of Pi  most people begin to gush about how amazing the movie was and how much they loved it. Followed by their shock at the fact that I haven't seen it yet. My reason? My general experience has been that reading the book is a more enjoyable experience than watching the movie. The book is usually richer in terms of content, context, and backstories. I didn't want to spoil the experience of reading the book by watching the movie. Life of Pi  sat on my to-read list patiently waiting and I finally go to it when an extra cr

Welcome to A Colloquy on Books!

By
I am glad that you are here! My name is Toshita and I have written all of the reviews on this website. I read mostly fiction usually Young-Adult fiction, however I do enjoy reading all types of books. I have been running this blog since 2014 but it has been an on again, off again type of affair. Due to the fact that this blog has existed for such a long time the formatting of the reviews has changed. In the older posts, I include link to the Goodreads page for the book as well as a link to buy the book on Amazon. I have decided to no longer do that because I think it is unnecessary and annoying. Another thing that I used to do was post the books that I have read every week. Those posts were always hard to make because of how tedious it was. I will not be posting weekly updates on the books I have read but I will include my recent activity on Goodreads down below. Feel free to follow me on Goodreads if you like my taste in books! Since this is a book review blog,
