I’m pretty sure that the works of Edgar Allan Poe make for awesome source material as evidenced by Nevermore and NOW by  Bethany Griffin in Masque Of The Red Death. It feels cliché to type this, but Masque Of The Red Death transported me to a place where fear of airborne pathogens rules the streets and there is a […]
Bitterblue Kristin Cashore Book Review
April 23, 2012
Friends, I feel like I’ve been waiting FOREVER for Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore. I had all these expectations built up in my mind.

You guys, I am SO glad […]

April 15, 2012
As some of you may be aware April 15th, 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. In honor of this anniversary, I thought it would be pretty neat to read about the Titanic and gain a better understanding of one of the most famous events of the 20th century. The book that I chose to read for […]
