Juliet is not a reincarnation story, thank goodness, but it is about a curse, on “both your houses,” which is a bit like adding fate in. Thankfully, our modern day “Juliet” doesn’t remember a past life, but she is worried that she won’t be long in this one. Did I ever mention how much I [...]
Why oh why do I keep reading this series? I really don’t enjoy the way Aprilynne Pike writes. She overwrites constantly. It “set’s my teeth on edge.” I find Laurel so completely annoying, I can’t stand her. If she were an actual person, I would try very hard not to ever have to speak to [...]
There are a few ways to write a series these days. Ok, so I’m not a writer, these reviews should prove that, but I am a reader. Some series, the ones I prefer to read, have books with endings, not necessarily difinitive endings, but endings none the less. A good example of this is Harry [...]
Ally Condie has taken the publishing world by storm with her new book Matched. Matched is the first book of her coming trilogy. The follow up, Crossed, is slated to release in November of this year, with the final book in the series coming the year after. By the way, Ally is yet another Mormon [...]
Folks, I have graduated to the world of ARC’s. That’s right. I asked a publisher to preview a book before the actual publication date. I am now a member of Net Galley and have some access to ARC’s from Net Galley’s affiliate publishers. SO, in this new light, here is my first ARC review. Just [...]
I would suggest reading this novella for Twilight fans. It is an interesting glimpse into the outside world of Twilight vampires we never get to see in sheltered Forks, WA. That aside, I still don’t know what makes Bree so special someone would be compelled to write a spin off novella about her. Whatever Stephenie [...]
This is an urban fantasy novel set in New York City in the present day. Clary works through finding out the truth about her past after her mother mysteriously goes missing. She meets a group of half angel humans called Nephilihim otherwise known as Shadowhunters. These half angels are mortal and hunt the demons that [...]
Philippa Gregory can write a mean historical fiction. This one features the famous War of the Roses, also called the cousins war. As usual, Gregory has highly fictionalized the characters in the novel. There is a suggestion that Elizabeth Woodville may have believed in a water goddess. Gregory latched onto this and created a whole [...]
I was thinking of my favorite love stories and I remembered this one. So I picked it up and read it again. And I still love it. It is still so good. This is the last book in the Anne of Green Gables series. The whole series is worth reading, but I just love this [...]
This is the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy. It continues the story of Katniss Everdeen after she wins the Hunger Games (sorry if that’s too much information for those who wanted to read the Hunger Games). This fast paced novel is full of twists and turns. I couldn’t put it down. And now [...]
The main character of this novel (written in first person) is overweight and living a double life. The double life thing has been done and done, but I have honestly never read a book with a chubby main character. I liked that part. I’m really sick of reading books with skinny perfect women taking the [...]
Why oh Why do I read these things? I started reading Christian romances at work when I was bored and there was nothing else to read. But then I started reading them for fun, at home. Most of them are terribly written. Yet I keep going back, like a bad boyfriend. Admittedly, the only “bad” [...]
I enjoyed this book. The Hunger Games is a very quick read and a real page turner. Set in a near future dystopia after the fall of the United States of America, a young girl and boy from the 12th district in the nation of Panem must compete in a death match type game where [...]
I would call this book slightly better than average but mostly forgettable. Sorry Cecelia Ahern, I really tried to like it. Read it if you are in the mood for a light hearted romantic comedy with well written, colloquial irish humor. Don’t read it if you want something more than skin deep, a premise that [...]
I really love this author. Yes I am a sap, I don’t care. I love a good romantic story and I’m not talking trash. Thats the beauty of Richard P. Evans books. Most have a good romance theme but always a clean read. He is an LDS author from Utah, so I suppose thats why. This particular book [...]
