I can't write books so I review them instead
This is the second book I’ve read by this author. I really liked his novella The World More Full of Weeping, which I blogged about earlier. I wanted to see how his full-length novels were. It helped that it was a fantasy genre (I’m quite partial to it, as you may have noticed). Anyways, here is…
When I saw the cover for this book, it reminded me of the Narnia series. I love the Narnia series; it’s what got me through my elementary school years (along with Harry Potter). It has been so long since I read fantasy novels and this book made me remember those wonderful days of reading in…
I feel like I’m super behind right now on the reading trend. This book was on all of the bestselling charts in the summer and I remember seeing scores of people reading it on the subway during my commute. Of course, I had placed a copy on hold but so had many other people and…
I FINALLY HAVE A LAPTOP!!! No more blogging on a slow tablet or on my tiny phone! Now, I have a proper keyboard with a proper screen for viewing and everything is so much easier! On top of that, I’m happy that I was still able to find the time to read even though I…
I was intrigued by this story because it is not your common teen romance novel. it explores so many more issues…. Oh I can’t say anything without giving it all away so I’m just going to jump right into the review! Emmy and Oliver were born on the same day of the same year in…
I’m ashamed to say that before my detective fiction course, I have never read a novel by Agatha Christie. I know all about her, of course, and I knew I should read something by her but I never did. I guess I didn’t know where to start. Even though this book was an assigned reading,…
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this but I absolutely love novels about ghosts and psychics. I don’t know if I hold much stock in them but I find the supernatural to be fascinating. I’m always looking for something that will give me goosebumps and I always approach novels about ghosts and the like…
I’m back into the thriller genre (again) with yet another novel that claims to be shocking and scary and all that other stuff. Well, here’s what I thought of it: Like most girls, Bailey has always dreamed of a knight in shining armor. When her mother passes away, she desperately needs a miracle. When she…
Before I begin, I want you to know that this is a novella. And I’ve never read a novella before. In fact, I didn’t know what a novella WAS. According to Google, a novella is a story that is longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. Well, that seems about right because…
*EDITED: My friend had told me about this book and for some reason she had mentioned that it was on Oprah’s book list. However, she was mistaken in the fact. Nevertheless, I usually avoid books on that list. Not because they are bad or anything but rather because I find that they all have the…
