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: 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 […]
Lynn’s Review: I picked up The Ring and the Crown as a free audio download from Audio Sync over the summer. And I really didn’t read the description first. Or if I did, I didn’t remember reading it when I decided to start listening to the audio book. And I had some serious misconceptions […]
Lynn’s Review: Is it possible to both really like and really dislike a book at the same time? That’s how I feel about All The Bring Things. Theo Finch and Violet Mackey meet at the top of a bell tower, where they are both thinking about jumping. But in the end, they save each […]
Lynn’s Review: Warning: Get out the tissues before reading this book. Isla and the Happily Ever After is the third book in the Anna and the French Kiss series by Stephanie Perkins. Isla (pronounces EYE-LA) is a senior at the School of America in Paris. She’s at the top of her class, always follows […]
Lynn’s Review: Firelight is a bit Romeo and Juliet, a bit Twilight, and a side of OH LOOK, DRAGONS. The main characters of Firelight are Jacinda, a draki, and Will, a dragon hunter. See what Sophie Jordan did there? She switched up the whole Hunter & Prey situation. Jacinda is the only fire-breather in […]
Lynn’s Review: Now this is the type of fantasy book I can get behind. A fantasy book with a female main character. One who isn’t there just to decorate the page and hang off the arm of a male main character. Throne of Glass is about Celaena Sardothien, an assassin for hire who’s been […]
Julie’s Review: Can I just say how excited I am that I really enjoyed this book? The first book in the series was good, but not great. The second book, well I don’t even remember it. To be fair, I read most of it just before I had my baby, and then when I did […]
Lynn‘s Review: Let me just preface this review by stating that I’m a Christmas grouch. It’s not so much that I’m against Christmas as a religious holiday. It’s the over-commercialization that drives me crazy. But given that, I become an emotional puddle of goo around sappy, Hallmark-y, Christmas love stories. My True Love Gave […]
