I am essentially a magpie when it comes to books about witches. I can’t resist them. When you throw comparisons to Graceling in the mix, GAME OVER, I am convinced that I must read the book. The Witch Hunter by debut author Virginia Boecker is an alternate history young adult fantasy book. It is compelling, fiercely gripping […]
Allison: Wildlife | Fiona Wood | Book Review
March 26, 2015
This week, I read Wildlife by Fiona Wood. It was a book that had been on my radar for quite some time so when I saw it on the shelf at my local library I couldn’t resist the opportunity to borrow it. Why was it on my radar? First of all, it’s set in Australia […]
Rebound by Noelle August | Book Review
March 21, 2015

Fifty Shades Of Grey by EL James | Book Review
March 14, 2015
YOU GUYS! I did it! I gave into the hype! I read Fifty Shades Of Grey by EL James on Valentine’s day weekend, right as the movie was releasing. Y’all, this was my first Valentine’s Day as a single person in a really long time (it was awesome though, so no pity, like it was seriously […]
