• The Singular Life of Aria Patel Review

  Aria Patel likes stability, certainty, predictability. It’s why she’s so into science. It’s why she dumped her boyfriend before they went to different colleges because the odds were that something would go wrong, eventually. In a life that’s already so chaotic, why obsess over complicated relationships and shadowy unknowns when the scientific method gives you direction and a straight…

• America’s First Daughter Review

  After thoroughly enjoying Dray and Kamoie’s book on the Hamiltos, I had to go read their first book together about Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy’ Jefferson and how she shaped the founding father we know today. It is always said that behind every great man, there was a great woman and this is especially prominant…

• Book of the Month: Crocodile on the Sandbank

  A bit of The Mummy, a bit of a stand-alone Agatha Christie, the adventures of Amelia Peabody feature a plain, spinster along the lines of Jane Eyre. Albeit a more sprightly Jane Eyre what with the shooting, escavating and mummy-hunting. Let me back up a bit with the death of Amelia’s father, she decides to…

• New Moon Review

  This was a pleasant surprise for me. While Twilight was a bit of a slog to get through as I already knew the basics of the series and Meyer was utterly committed to showing the mundanities of Bella’s life, I managed to finish this book in one day even though it was double the length.…

• Twilight/Life and Death Review

  As readers of my blog have noticed, I’ve been on a YA dystopian binge but I figured I should also pay tribute to one of the books that forever changed the landscape of the YA and vampire genres- Twilight. Yep, I never read the books though with its renowned popularity, I have a good grasp…
