When I was in second grade, I would always get books out of the library about magic and magic tricks. These books were circa 1970s printing. I only ever learned one trick which was how to make a pencil look like it was bending – so I guess you can call me an illusionist. Let’s […]
Blue Mountain by Martine Leavitt | Book Review
November 5, 2015
If I enjoy a book by an author, there is a chance that I will be ten times more likely to pick up another book by the author, regardless of what it is about. I really loved My Book Of Life By Angel by Martine Leavitt, and I am pretty sure she’s also won awards, therefore, […]

I essentially went into Elizabeth Paulson’s Dead Upon A Time totally blind. I grabbed it from my shelves because it was exceedingly thin and threw it on my Dewey Readathon pile. Well, I figured based on the cover that it might be a creepy sort of read which would tie in well to my Halloween feelings […]
