Why Did I Listen To This Book? I initially listened to The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson because it was assigned for a secret project. Unfortunately, I failed miserably at the secret project and ended up not listening to all of the books in time due to some personal things going on. The reason […]
Emma And The Blue Genie by Cornelia Funke | Audiobook Review
November 13, 2015
Why Did I Listen To This Audiobook? Several years ago, I read some of the Inkheart books by Cornelia Funke and liked them a whole lot, as well as her book The Thief Lord. I think she has a real gift for world building and fantasy. So, of course, when I come across her books in my […]
Dead Upon A Time by Elizabeth Paulson | Book Review

I even went to go see the latest Disney live action Cinderella in theaters. Mechanica by Betsy Cornwell is sort of a steam-punk and fey retelling of Cinderella. I will admit going into this book, I drew a comparison to Cinder by Marissa […]
