Who among us has not had the fantasy of being trapped in a superstore, able to use whatever product and item you want? Emmy Laybourne, debut author, explores this exact scenario in Monument 14 with much less pleasant circumstances than my fantasy.  Y’all this book TOTALLY delivered what I wanted from it — an exciting story that took […]
The Last Princess Galaxy Craze Book Review
June 12, 2012
Friends, my honest opinion of The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze is that it was a god awful book. On the upside, it is a super quick read — only taking a few hours to get through. However, this dystopian debut did not work for me despite how quickly I zoomed through it. England has been […]

The Ask And The Answer Patrick Ness Book Review
April 8, 2012
Oh, friends, this review of The Ask And The Answer is WAY overdue. You see, I read Patrick Ness’s second Chaos Walking book in Summer 2010 and is it is 2012 already, a lot of time has gone by in book years. So, I’ll be very succinct because my memory is fuzzy, but when I read Monsters Of […]
