• Book vs Movie: Howl’s Moving Castle

  Now this is a case where the movie is infinitly more well-known than the book it originated from. Yes, I’m talking about the beloved Studio Ghibli film. However, as I haven’t seen the movie I can’t say if it is better or what changes were made from book to screen. All I can say is…

• New Covers

  Ah yes, I have reached my 100th post (in 36 days no less)! I wrote this to almost catalogue all my favorite books over the years and to share thoughts and questions with fellow book lovers. Though I’m not sure how far reaching this (remember to comment so I know I’m not the only reading…

• Book Tie Ins

  Now I’m not talking about the junior novelizations of movies and tv show episodes. I’m talking about books that seek to expand the universe and give side characters their time in the limelight like the dozens of Star Wars books. However, I never read or seen the full Star Wars trilogy so I don’t have…

• Musical Books

  What are your opinions on musical books? I have read quite a few last year and thoroughly enjoy not only getting to read the lyrics with its footnotes of inspiration and changed lines (while bopping to the soundtrack, of course) but I love getting a behind the scenes look from crafting the script, finding producers,…

• Missed Potential in Tales from Shadowhunter Academy

  If it isn’t evident as you read, these are all my own opinions. Feel free to agree or disagree or just add your own thoughts in the comments section. Maybe it’s because I read the Shadowhunter Chroncilesout of order that I have this opinion. But I wish Tales from Shadowhunter Academy had more stories following…

• If you like this, try. . .

  I decided to take a little break from my “Favorite book (insert genre) suggestions” and try this. These are books I couldn’t fit under one particular category nor do I love them them enough to write a paragraph of why one should give it try. Besides I a lot of them have overlapping themes/genres/ideas with…

• Genre question?

  I remember having this debate a long time ago, but I just thought of this again while working on my fairytale books blogpost. Are mermaids within the fairytale genre or is it a separate subgenre of its own? After all mermaids are featured in fairytales but the only major princess is Ariel from the Little…

• Comment!

  Here’s a little break from all the book suggestions I have. I want to hear from you or really anyone’s who’s reading this little blog. So my first question to get the ball rolling is, who has read those book novelizations of tv episodes? Or just based on celebrities like Mary Kate and Ashley. They…

• P.C. Hawke Mysteries

  P.C. Hawke Mysteries was a middle school mysteries series by the late Paul Zindel, author of sci fi novels like The Pig-Man. It is centers on two sleuthing high schoolers whose natural curiosity and ability to see things that adults miss allow them to solve more cases than the incompetent adults. Classic stuff.

• Hello world!

  Hello to any and all book lovers who stumble upon this blog. I’m a voracious reader in my free time (One book a day is my preference), but I haven’t found many who’ve read the same books. So I try to nag my friends until they do because “XYZ book is just sooo good!” Now…
