I feel like I have been anticipating reading Jackaby by William Ritter for like FOREVER. No, but seriously, it was a relatively decent book. Jackaby is described as Sherlock meets Dr. Who. As I’ve watched around fifteen minutes of Dr. Who, have only seen The Great Mouse Detective, I can’t quite testify to the accuracy of that comparison. What I can, however, testify to is the merits and drawbacks that I perceived while reading this book. On the whole, I liked Jackaby, yet it did not entirely gel with me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good book that’s worth recommending.
Wildthorn by Jane Eagland | Book Review
August 22, 2014
I am very embarrassed to admit that an ARC of Wildthorn has been sitting in my house unread since 2010.

Illusions Of Fate by Kiersten White | Book Review
August 11, 2014

One Came Home by Amy Timberlake | Audiobook Review
June 14, 2014
Why Did I Listen To This Book? I decided to listen to Amy Timberlake’s One Came Home because I have a very soft spot for middle grade historical fiction books. I listened to a sample of the narration and was hooked. The narration sample was rather pleasing on my ears so I figured, yes, this is […]
