The Crown’s Game by is my favorite read of 2016 thus far!!! It has everything I could ever want in one book. Russian setting, myth, a little folklore, some romance and magic….are you convinced yet? When I first came across this book over six months ago, I was intrigued. Needless to say, the book has lived […]
I was SO excited to read Queen of Hearts by but I was sorely disappointed. Not only did the characters lack any real depth, the author’s take on Wonderland fell flat. I’ll be completely honest….I couldn’t finish the book! I don’t do that very often. In fact I HATE to not finish books. If I start, I have […]
Initial Reaction One word to describe Ruined by …..AMAZING!!!! I was immediately taken with Em’s revenge and the dystopian-esque feel of the plot. I cheered her on, I shed a few tears and yes I even fell in love. This story has stuck with me, even spawning a few horrifying dreams. In short, it’s a MUST READ for […]

At the end of the last book, the cassandra sangue are saved from their captors and are now living among the Others and Intuits.

Last weekend during the Snowpocalypse, I read ‘s debut book Assassin’s Heart and today I wanted to share it with you all. It comes out later this week so be sure you preorder or request it at your library. I adore high fantasy and this book reminds me why. Think Godfather crossed with Romeo & Juliet crossed with one of my […]
So I know the new year just started BUT this book may be my favorite for the year! Sword and Verse by is an epic tale full of mythology, fantasy, and romance. Raisa was a child when she arrived at the palace in Qilara and barely a teen when she was chosen to be the next Tutor. Her story […]
November has been a super busy month for little man and me. At the end of October, his preschool sent home a Scholastic Book Club order form. I let my son circle the books he wanted and told him that maybe Santa would bring him a few for Christmas. The kid circled almost $200 worth […]
Initial Reaction: The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is written by one of my all-time favorite authors . I’ve been raving about wanting/needing this book since I first heard about it a little over a year ago. Sadly, this is the first (and I hope only) time Albom has ever let me down. After making […]
