The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley caught my eye because of the beautifully illustrated cover that matches the title and the contents of the book. What sold me even more on checking out La Valley’s book was the East Turkestan setting. I have never read a book with an East Turkestan setting before, and […]
City Of A Thousand Dolls | Miriam Forster | Book Review
February 12, 2013
Straight up, I will always read books that have girls on the cover between two giant lion statues holding weapons. ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Sometimes this is a bad life choice, but in the case of City Of A Thousand Dolls by Miriam Forster, the inside pretty much exceeds the outside in terms of awesomeness. While City Of […]

October 11, 2012
It never fails to surprise me how some of the books not getting big buzz turn out to be hidden gems. The Revolution Of Evelyn Serrano by Sonia Manzano was a book that I picked up on a whim at the Book Blogger Convention. None of the other books we could choose from for our grab bags looked […]
