  • De La Cruz puts her own spin on the fractured fairytale genre with the Never After series where a youn fangirl gets a dream (or nightmare come true). Her beloved book series is releasing it’s epic finale, only to find out that the 13th book is never ever coming out. Because it hasn’t been written…

  • Mine was Salem’s Lot which was a gift from a friend for my 13th birthday. Apparently, she thought my interest in celebrity ghost stories and reincarnated ghost children extended to horror in general which is not really true. Psuedo-documentaries of real life hauntings I can handle, horror movies and books not so much. But I…

  • I was reading Rose in Bloom in full (well the abridged version since the classic version sometimes gets too preachy for me) and this quote—— “My heart is my own, to dispose of as I please. Don’t shut yourself out of it by presuming too much, for you have no claim on me but that…

  • Alright so maybe this is just relevant to the YJ fandom and those who have knowledge of events occurring in season 2 of the show, but it’s a comic book so I’m putting it in my book blog. Aka the importance of reading tie in comics.

Dark Artifices is the trilogy where she really amps the page length into the 800s. Queen of Air and Darkness was nearly a 1,000 if…

  • It’s official! It’s been one whole year since I started this blog. I’ve done 24 interviews, 415 posts and I’ve definately read a lot of books. So to celebrate let’s think about special books. I, for one, still remember the first book I got from the public library. Of course I can’t find the exact…

  • So I did my reread and I think it holds up for the most part. It is definately too young for anyone who reads it after lower-school. It’s almost quaint to read how Allie’s biggest problems are eating foods she doesn’t like and the worst insult is “crybaby.” Simpler times. Especially as she and her…

  • Happy 2023 everybody! Hopefully this year will be more positive than the last. Not that we can control the events of the world but the decisions we do control, try to choose one of kindess and respect to others. Now off my metaphorical soap box, what new books am I eager to read? And for…

  • Well I feel pretty proud of myself this year from starting up this blog, getting up to 292 posts (woot woot) and being able to interview at leat 20 authors I admired. It has been a pretty good Now this list is a list of books I read from cover to cover, including acknowledgements. Each…

  • Starfire Vol. 1-2 by Amanda Conner These two volumes starring everyone’s favorite Tamarian has the sun-kissed alien living in the tropical paradise of Florida as a way to distance herself from the drama of her relationship with Dick Grayson (who may or may not be dead?) and just general superheroing. Not that she doesn’t do…
