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…
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…
I decided to give this trilogy a shot. Even though I have so many stand-alone novels left to read, I found the storyline for this book quite compelling so I went for it instead. Ravka is a nation divided by the Shadow Fold, an area of darkness that hosts terrible creatures that feast on human…
This was a really long book and it took me about 3 days to read it. I don’t think I’ve spent this long with a book in a while; I’m used to getting through a book relatively quickly. I’m happy to say that this novel kept me engaged the entire time and I really enjoyed…
I don’t have many friends who are avid readers like me. But when they recommend something for me to read, I do my best to give it a shot. Especially if they let me borrow their copy of the book, thereby saving me the trouble of waiting for it at the library. Which is exactly…

As has been my trend, I chose this book because it has gotten some raving reviews that deemed it worth checking out. Surprisingly, it took me quite a while to finish the novel. I don’t know if it was because it was long or because I was just moving through it slowly. Anyways, here is…
This book has been on my must-read list for the summer. The teaser for it was so incredibly interesting that I couldn’t resist. I’ve had so many books to read so far that I only just got time now. But boy am I glad I gave it a shot! When Father disappears, Carolyn and her…
After reading Water for Elephants, I was super excited to read this book! I had high expectations, especially since her previous novel had made such a strong impression on me. When Maggie and Ellis Hyde make a fool of themselves in front of all high society at a party in Philadelphia in 1942, it creates…
I haven’t read a historical fiction in a while and I’ve heard a lot of good things about this author so I thought I would give it a try. It is 70 A.D. Jews are being persecuted by the Romans and are desperately looking for a place of refuge. For them, this is in the…
