Sword And Verse by Kathy MacMillan is a book that I got in the mail that immediately grabbed my attention, because you all should know how I feel about a cover with a giant sword on it. If you are new here, I will tell you that I get super excited for books with swords. […]
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich | Review
February 1, 2016
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich is a book which I read to satisfy a craving for reading a book comprised of found documents after falling for Illuminae earlier in 2015. Aside from knowing about the found documents, I had no clue really what to expect from The Dead House going in. I found Kurtagich’s debut to […]

Monster: A Graphic Novel by Walter Dean Myers, adapted by Guy A. Sims and illustrated by Dawud Anyabwile is a book that I decided to read in the beginning of 2016 because it is an adaptation of Myers’s book by the same title, and because I am someone who cannot get enough of graphic novels.

This book melds that characteristic writing and takes it up to a new level, making the story even more hard hitting […]
The White Rose by Amy Ewing | Book Review
January 21, 2016
The White Rose by Amy Ewing is the second in the Lone City series and picks up where The Jewel leaves off. Honestly, I found The White Rose to be an okay sequel, yet kind of bland as well. I mean, as I was reading I sort of confused this plot with The Selection and Red Queen in my mind. If you […]
