Maybe I am an odd duck, but I actually quite liked Prophecy by Ellen Oh. I realize a lot of my blogger friends and people I subscribe to where just not that into Prophecy, but for me personally, I went into the book not expecting the second coming and thus wasn’t tainted by expecting Graceling 2.0 or Eon: The Spinoff.

Sunrise Over Fallujah Walter Dean Myers Audiobook Review
October 27, 2012
Why do I like reading military based books so much? I’ve never been a soldier. I’m scared witless of guns. But, I love reading about camaraderie.

Alif The Unseen G. Willow Wilson Book Review
July 23, 2012
It’s always refreshing to leave your genre comfort zone. When it comes to fantasy, I tend to mostly stick with high fantasy of the young adult western variety. I think Alif The Unseen by G. Willow Wilson caught my eye because first, the cover is bright and gorgeous, but also because it is very outside my […]
