With blurbs from authors like Franny Billingsley and Kristin Cashore and comparisons to Patricia McKillip, I could not resist going all grabby hands toward A Creature Of Moonlight by debut author Rebecca Hahn. I am unable to pass on a fantasy book blurbed by two of my favorite authors. As a debut, I think that A Creature […]

End Times by Anna Schumacher | Book Review
May 8, 2014
By all accounts and purposes, End Times by Anna Schumacher ought to be the perfect April book. It’s a book about the beginnings of the apocalypse and THE RAPTURE. So, pre-apocalyptic, I guess. As a heathen, this kind of thing is actually really fascinating to me for some bizarre reason. And you know, I did like […]

Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly | Audiobook Review
May 3, 2014
Why Did I Listen To This Book? I was initially interested in Deep Blue because I am a Jennifer Donnelly fan girl. Like, I could take or leave mermaids.

If you have a readathon coming up, like the April Dewey 24 Hour Readathon, it would behoove you to put Amy Plum’s After The End on your stack, if you have it in your possession.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige | Book Review
April 1, 2014
Revolutions and uprisings are totally my jam. I love it when oppressed people rise up and overthrow their tyrants. So, it should not shock you at all that I was really excited about Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. This is a debut that not only has a revolutionary element, but melds with another favorite trope […]
