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 [...]
I really enjoyed this book and I gave it four stars on goodreads, but I think I would have preferred 3.5. I have read a few books in a row that really didn’t do it for me so Water for Elephants was a welcome change by comparison. Water for Elephants opens the door to the [...]
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 [...]
Instead of being a re-imagining of Pride and Prejudice, I would say that Seth Grahame-Smith inserted a story-line involving zombies into Pride and Prejudice. Kind of like a cream puff. At first the cream puff was just a bun, until someone stuck a needle full of whipped cream into the middle and filled it up. [...]
Another fantastic novel from an Aussie! Jellicoe Road…where the tops of the trees reach across the street to form a canopy that the light shines through…Taylor Markham describes her almost home. Just 11 years old when she was abandoned by her mother at the Jellicoe Road boarding school, Taylor is now a senior and a [...]
Maggie Steifvater is yet another author riding the twilight wave. Why not? Her novel has a different take on werewolves than the Twilight series and different than I have heard before. The boys become wolves in the winter but stay human in summer. They live in the frozen north near the Canadian border, must be [...]
Have you ever read a book and loved it while reading but became uncertain of it after? I had that experience after reading Kate Jacob’s first book (Friday Night Knitting Club). But I did enjoy reading it, so I decided to check this one out. Plus I love watching the Food Network which factors heavily [...]
I seriously enjoyed this book. Written in the style of a classic Gothic melodrama this novel has a little bit of everything. Layer upon layer of mystery, danger, and tragic love. Set in Barcelona during the Franco dictatorship, this book follows the mysteries of a book touched by destiny, the author who wrote it, and [...]
I have been putting off posting this one for a while. I have to say, I fell in love with this novel. Which is part of the reason I didn’t want to post it. What if other people read it and thought it was a waste of time? That shouldn’t matter to me, it really [...]
