Lynn’s Review: I wanted to review a “holiday” book this year, but needless to say time got away from me, and I didn’t have a chance to finish until this week. I won this book, along some others from Kim at Read Your Writes Book Reviews. Thanks, Kim, for the holiday reads! I thought, since […]
Lynn’s Review: The is the second book I’ve read recently with tarot cards as major plot line. (Read my review of Book of Speculation here.) The two books are completely different, however. Starting with the fact that I actually enjoyed Poison Princess. Instead of reading the cards and family curses, the characters in Poison Princess […]
Lynn’s Review: Evan and Lucy are friends who have grown up together. At least until Lucy moves after her parents divorce. And now, the two friends only see each other during Christmas break. But this year, Lucy has changed from the girl next door to a goth next door, with black hair, loads of […]
Lynn’s Review: Sadly, there are no actual Neanderthals in this book. That title is very misleading! Though, the paragraph linking the story to the title by Ms. Reid is pretty clever. Can you even imagine? It’d be like Planet of the Apes. He’s Charlton Heston with all the muscles and such. And I’m that […]
Lynn’s Review: The Book of Speculation is dual narrative, part of the story taking place today, and part of the story taking place in the late 18th Century. The two stories are bound together by a book of family history. The current story line concerns Simon, a librarian who has received an odd book. […]

Lynn’s Review: I’ve read a slew of unremarkable books lately. And UnEnchanted is one of them. UnEnchanted is the first of the Unfortunate Fairy Tales series by Chandra Hahn. In this series, Mina Grime finds out that her actual last name is Grimm. Of Grimm’s fairy tales fame. And her family has been cursed […]
Lynn’s Review: Even when Darcy looks like this, I contend Captain Frederick Wentworth > Fitzwilliam Darcy. There is just something about Anne and Wentworth. Even after the years apart, the love still burns brightly. Probably more so the second time around. Anne is surrounded by the worst people. Her father and older sister […]
Lynn’s Review: Simon is the “Chosen One”. “The worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen.” Who else but Rainbow Rowell would write a brilliant book based on her own fan fiction characters from Fangirl. Carry On is both fantasy and romance. Magic plays a huge part in the plot. Simon is the most powerful mage […]
