Born Mobster by Paige Dearth

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t read novels like this one.

Sabriel by Garth Nix – Abhorsen series #1

As a child, I always liked reading fantasy novels. In fact, my first chapter book was The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.

Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke

Why did I choose to read this novel? Because there is a show that came out based on this novel and I wasn’t able to find the time to watch it. That doesn’t mean I’m still not going to try to watch the show, but in the meantime I wanted to read the novel. In…
