I can't write books so I review them instead
So those of you who follow my blog and have read some of my posts will know that I really love fantasy and that I read a lot of Neil Gaiman’s work. In fact, I’m going to have to say that he is one of my favourite authors and I plan on reading as much…
Where have I been this whole time? Unfortunately, I have had too many midterms piling up and haven’t been able to devote any time to reading. Based on my course work, it seems like that’s how it’s going to be for a while. But I’ll try to sneak in a book here and there, especially…
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…
Yes!!! I finally read the second book in the trilogy!!! So if I am to be completely honest, I wasn’t going to post this book up. I guess I was just struggling to write it up without revealing everything. It’s so hard to do series because you can always spoil the first book for people,…
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 have always loved this author. The first book I ever read by him was Coraline and it was just fantastic. Since then, I’ve been hunting for everything and anything by him and so far, I have yet to be disappointed. I just recently found out that this book has been turned into a movie…
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 was looking for some more fantasy novels to read. Although I love mystery and psychological thrillers, I also enjoy a good old land-of-magic style of book. I vaguely recalled reading novels by this author so I decided to give this one a go. Talia lives in a village where women are simply breeders. Men…
I vaguely remember reading some books by this author. She was a very popular fantasy writer for preteens and I remember all of my friends buying her books. Imagine my surprise when I found out she is now writing adult fiction novels! I was browsing the shelves at my local library and I just picked…
