Book Review – Winter Sea (Slains #1)

Lynn’s Review: If you read my TWHS post last week, here’s my review for Winter Sea. If you didn’t, shame on you! Read it now. I’ll wait.  Winter Sea is two books for the price of one. Carrie is an author, writing about the Jacobites in 1708 Scotland. Her main character is Sophia. Both find […]

Book Review – Leviathan

Book Review – Leviathan

  Lynn’s Review:     Is it odd that I’ve recently read an alternate history book and a book about a girl pretending to be a boy? And Leviathan had both. Let’s start with the format review: Julie listened to the audio. But I read a hardcover copy of the book. With all the amazing drawings […]
