The Purple Haze Review

The Purple Haze Review

   Julie’s Review: The Purple Haze was an interesting fantasy novel where there are several kingdoms/queendoms and animals can speak. This makes for some hilarious characters, fun banter, and silly rules. Characters: I really liked the characters, both human and animal, because they all had their quirks and their charm. The Latino singing horse might […]

Curiouser and Curiouser (Steampunk Fairy Tales) Review

Curiouser and Curiouser (Steampunk Fairy Tales) Review

 Julie’s Review: Retellings are typically hit or miss for me and Curiouser and Curiouser was a hit. It was short, so it didn’t get overwhelming with the crazy worldbuilding that it certainly could have been, as a steampunk retelling of Alice in Wonderland. But, it was just enough to enjoy the characters and enjoy the […]

Heartless Review

Heartless Review

 Julie’s Review:   Marissa Meyer is a genius, but we already knew that from her famous Lunar Chronicles series. I love how she takes a story and twists it all up in her adaptation of it. Heartless is a brilliant prequel, a back story for the vengeful and angry Queen of Hearts, who is famously […]

Bookish Chat – Winter (Lunar Chronicles #4)

Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
