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. […]
Julie’s Review: I’ve been hearing amazing things about the Kate Daniels series, and at one point I bought up a bunch of the books when they were Kindle Daily Deals. So I finally decided to stream the audio so I get a chance to read it and see what all the fuss is about. Kate […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: What a ride. For those of you not familiar with this series, it is absolutely frightening because of how realistic it feels while reading it. This type of thing feels like it really could happen and that makes it so dark and so eye opening. It really makes you think about the horrible […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I’ve had this series recommended to me for a while. Actually I first heard about it several years ago because a former supervisor recommended it to me after hearing my Buffy ringtone. He also told me I better watch Firefly and Dollhouse too once I finish my Buffy/Angel binge. This was quite a […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: So I’m listing book 3 but I’m really reviewing books 1-3 in this awesome Night Huntress spin-off series, ok? Why? Well, I just devoured them so quickly that writing separate reviews doesn’t make sense. I loved the Night Huntress series, and especially thought Vlad was an exciting character, so I decided to devour […]
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 […]
