Retro Friday Reviews is a feature/meme hosted by Angieville where you review an older or lesser known book on Fridays. If there was a class called Contemporary 101, I am pretty sure that Sweethearts by Sara Zarr would be required reading. While I am incredibly well-read, I am not as well-read as I think I […]
Playground by 50 Cent Audiobook Review
November 17, 2011
I won’t lie, when I first heard that 50 Cent had a book out about bullying, I was skeptical, thinking why not leave writing to the real authors. But on further consideration, I thought I would give Playground a chance as I enjoy 50 Cent’s music AND I think that there is an audience for Playground.

The Lost Hero begins spin-off series ‘The Heroes of Olympus’ and is every bit as awesome and hilarious, with returning characters from the Percy Jackson series.
Waxillium Ladrian: Fully Licensed Bad Ass
November 13, 2011

I love when authors revisit universes they have created. The Alloy Of Law, Sanderson’s latest, returns to the world and magic system of allomancy imagined in the Mistborn trilogy, only it’s about 300 […]
