I can't write books so I review them instead
It has taken me a while to write this review. I’ve been suffering from a bit of tendonitis so it makes writing and typing extremely painful. It still hasn’t gotten better but I don’t want to prolong the review any further so here it goes. Baton Rouge in 1989 is a quiet little place where…
I’ve always loved The Wizard of Oz. I’ve watched the movie and I’ve even read Gregory Maguire’s books on Oz. So naturally, when I saw this book, I had to read it! Amy Gumm doesn’t have the most ideal life. Living in Kansas in a trailer with her drug-obsessed mom has made her grow up…
I’ve heard a lot of controversial things about this book. Okay, maybe controversial is a strong word to use for a fantasy novel. What I mean to say is that many people have mixed feelings about this book. Quite a few of the reviews I read said it was terrible or that it was boring.…

I’ve been waiting to read this book since it first came out so when I finally got it, I pounced. Here is my review: The novel is told from the viewpoint of an inmate who calls the stone prison he is in an enchanted place. He talks about the other inmates using fantasy imagery, all…
I don’t know why I decided to read this book. I was just bored, looking for something interesting and it popped up on my search. After having read it, I’m glad that I gave it a chance! This novel is set in an older time period and begins with the baptism of a baby boy.…
I was really struggling to come up with a review for this book. It is the 3rd book in the Giver series and I didn’t want to give anything away. That’s always the difficult part with writing a review for individual books in the series: how do you write a review without giving away the…
