Lynn’s Review: I had all the feels while listening to A Court of Thorns and Roses. I loved everything set in Pythia – the Fae, the magic. Even the Evil Queen. The humans and the human world left me a bit put-off. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a loosely based on Beauty and […]
Julie’s Review: I love Hawaii. I love the island culture, the delicious breeze that always smells like coconut, and the beautiful landscapes. So reading this book was a little bit of a nostalgic vacation for me, and that made it a fun selection. I enjoyed the descriptions of the lands and the people, as well […]
Lynn’s Review: If you are looking for a traditional “review” of Sleeping Giants, go here. Instead, I’m going to gush about loving this book. And love it I did. Heck, I even tweeted about it! Here are some of the reasons I loved Sleeping Giants: The premise is brilliant. Sleeping Giants starts with the discovery […]
Julie’s Review: All Our Yesterdays is essentially a story about stopping a terrible person before he becomes terrible. This pair travels back in time, again and again trying to change the future by fixing the past, and every time they end up in the same situation. This time, they know what they must do, and it […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: What I loved most about Every Last Word is it took me completely by surprise. Even knowing that our main character has OCD and is highly obsessive, I didn’t predict the extent or really see how the plot was going to play out. I could compare a lot of this book to a […]
Lynn’s Review: Saturn Run is serious Sci Fi, emphasis on the Sci. And exactly what I needed. A complete break from all of the sub-par fantasy that I’ve been reading lately. The science was definitely beyond me. I took it on faith that the authors knew what they were writing when it came to those […]
Julie’s Review: The Sin Eater’s Daughter sounded like a fantasy type novel to me at first, but it turned out to be a lot more historical royal court drama and less fantasy. The story takes place in an ancient kingdom, where the people believe in various Gods and where the culture maintains customs that we find […]
Lynn’s Review: The Serpent King is what book clubs are for: to point out books I would never read on my own. I read the blurb, and was thinking to myself, no way am I going to enjoy this book. I even put off reading it until the very last minute. Literally the day before […]
Lynn’s Review: The Secret Garden was one of my favorite stories as a kid. Both the book and the movie. While I was looking for a book made into a movie or tv show for April’s bingo card, I received a fortuitous email in the form of a free download for The Secret Garden. So […]
