Fire {book review}

This book in 6 words : can’t believe waited to read this I put off reading Fire by Kristin Cashore. I LOVED Graceling and believe I was hesitant out of fear that it wouldn’t live up to the first book and would cause Graceling to lose some of its magic. I was wrong. It only [...]

The Light, The Dark, & The Ember Between {Book Review}

This book in six words: magically brought real love to life I am super excited to be a part of J.W. Nicklaus’ virtual book tour! I recently finished up The Light, The Dark, & The Ember Between and I will be rereading it after loaning it out to my friends and family. The book is [...]

Graceling by Kristin Cashore {Review}

This book in 6 words: Made me want to have heterochromia. I wasn’t planning on reading this yet. There were other books higher up on my TBR pile. However, I couldn’t help but start it last night at 2:00am and then I could not put it down. I finished it early this morning and should [...]

Fledgling by Octavia Butler {review}

I am very glad that I stuck with this book… I’m just not sure how to review it without giving too much away… Fledgling by Octavia Butler tells the story of Shori. The book begins with Shori waking up in the woods in extreme pain with no memory whatsoever. She doesn’t who, what, or where [...]

Mother Night – started

I’ve just started Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut and so far I really like it. One of my all time favorite quotes is “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful of what we pretend to be”. I was reading the introduction talking about Vonnegut’s real life experience with the war [...]
