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 […]
Lynn’s Review: Crown of Midnight is the second in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. (You can read my review of Throne of Glass here.) In this installment, Celaena is settling into her life as the King’s Assassin. She’s travelling around the kingdom, per the king’s orders. But instead of killing […]
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 […]
Lynn’s Review: Vengeance Road is not your average western genre romance. It’s an actual capital “w” Western. With a girl as the lead character. We meet Kate Thompson in a saloon. She’s on a literal vengeance road, searching for the murderous gang who killed her pa. But, the thing is, she’s disguised herself as […]
