I can't write books so I review them instead
I had the opportunity to read this book before its release and give my feedback about it. I am so grateful for this chance, especially since I always feel like I’m the last person to read the up-and-coming books! What makes me even MORE happy is that I’ve read Mary Kubica’s work before and I…
Let me start by saying this isn’t the first novel I’ve read by this author. Back in high school, I would read her Otherworld series and all of her other books as soon as I could get my hands on them. She is witty and has strong female characters, which is always a winner for…
Recently, I’ve been feeling as if I’m too old to read teen fiction. It may have been because one of my friends scoffed at the fact that I was reading this novel, saying that I’m no longer a teen and shouldn’t be reading YA fiction. Well, to that I say, NO WAY! I love teen…
I can’t recall when I last read a historical fiction novel. When I was recommended this novel based on my love for The Book Thief, I was more than happy to give it a shot. I actually had to recommend it to my library because it hadn’t been bought yet. And then I had to…
A good friend of mine recently pointed out that all I ever read are the newest novels. He said that I’m always looking on the bestseller list for new books to read and review about. And he’s right. I like to read whatever is most current, not only because I find that most of the…
The past week has been an extremely turbulent period of time for me. My family got a dog (yay!) but then I got rejected from a graduate school program I really wanted to get into (boo). So I needed a pick-me-up and decided to read the next installment in this series. The first book had…
I AM BACK WITH MY OBSESSION FOR NEIL GAIMAN! I had to wait 4 months to get my hands on a copy of this novel; clearly I am a dedicated fan! Anyways, I don’t want to waste any more time so here is my review: Richard Mayhew is a young London businessman with a boring…
After the first book ending in such a cliffhanger manner, I knew I had to read on and find out what would happen to Silas and Charlie. As soon as I got a copy of this book, I stopped doing everything else and just sat down and read until it was all done. Good thing…
I think I saw this book on a list for top horror novels to read during Halloween. I know it isn’t Halloween right now but I can never resist the call for scary books that will give me nightmares (yes, I know I’m weird)! I have had so little time on my hands recently and…
Sometimes, authors aren’t always clear about whether their novels are part of a series or even what the order of books should be. This was the case with Val McDermid. At first, I had borrowed one of her books, only to discover that it was part of a series and required me to have read…
