I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. After having received this story, I discovered that this novel was actually published in 1994. It has gotten a great deal of attention in the past for its unique portrayal of a post-apocalyptic setting. Perhaps the version that I…
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…
*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…
It has been a while since I’ve written. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading! So many of the books I’ve been waiting on have become available that I’m actually feeling quite overwhelmed. I was away on vacation so I didn’t have any time to blog about them but I’m back now and ready…

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 don’t have much of an introduction for this review. Suffice to say that it looked like an interesting read. And it definitely was. An advertisement is posted in a newspaper simply asking for Bright Young Things to apply. Out of all of the applicants, 6 20-something-year-olds are selected and go to the interview. The…
I didn’t think this book would be that interesting when I first heard about it. I mean, there have been so many novels about zombies that I really didn’t think that this one would be any different. However, I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed this book! Finnegan lives with his family in a relatively…
The summary I read about this book didn’t strike me as that great at first. In fact, I borrowed it on a whim. After reading it, I’m so glad I chose to read this book. I don’t think my review can do it justice because it is so complex but here I go! The novel…
