My attention usually perks up when someone mentions zombies. Throw 1876, the post-Civil War era into the mix and you have me as a reader hook line and sinker. Something Strange And Deadly by Susan Dennard adds a unique spin to the paranormal zombie genre via setting. Further, it is an example of strong characterization. Something Strange […]
Tales from Lovecraft Middle School #1 and #2 Charles Gilman Book Review
January 16, 2013
Professor Gargoyle is the first book in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series written by Charles Gilman. It is a VERY fun , a little creepy, and equally cute middle grade book. Anyone else remember The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series? They had stories like Vampires Don’t Wear Polka Dots and Werewolves […]

Without […]
The Marriage Bargain Jennifer Probst Book Review
January 13, 2013
Is it weird that I’m glad I snapped up The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst before it became $7? Maybe I’m just super cheap. Anyways, I bought The Marriage Bargain back when it was under $3 and it sat on my Kindle for months. At the end of 2012, I was going through a bit of a […]
