I was initially quite excited to read Wrath of Dragons by Scott King. I'm a big lover of fantasy and the idea behind the novel was exciting enough for me to want to pick it up and I was especially drawn in by the rogue dragon. The story begins with a magician, a young boy still…
I read this solely to get it off my to-read shelf, since I'm not a huge fan of removing books that I've added. I started to really dislike The Selection series after the first book ended. I felt the author had a lot of potential for a really brilliant book, but then she had the…
While I do have the first book of The Bone Witch trilogy on my TBR, The Shadow Glass by Rin Chupeco has not yet found its way there. This is mainly due to the fact that I don't know whether or not I will like the first book and, if I don't, I have no intention of…
I had a lot of fun reading Nanami: Theater of the Wind by Éric Corbeyran & Amélie Sarn and illustrated by Nauriel. It wasn't quite the story I had expected and I definitely feel as though this graphic novel ended far too quickly, but overall it was a fun book to spend my afternoon reading. The thing I'm…
How to Raise a Reader by Pamela Paul and Maria Russo is a pretty exceptional book and one that I would recommend to just about any parent, though I can't account for whether or not all parents will read it. But the truth is that one of the best things you could ever do for…
My past with City of Bones is actually somewhat of an amusing one at times, but also a rather dejecting one. I cannot even begin with how devastated I was when I first learned of all the issues surrounding these novels and the author who penned them. The interesting thing is that I really enjoyed the…
What's College About Anyway?, a book by Betty Thomas Patterson and illustrated by Agus Projogo, is one of those superficial children's books that barely scratches the surface and manages to do just about nothing to actually educate the children who read it. Don't get me wrong, the idea behind this book was great and I…
If you're looking for a really cute middle grade / children's chapter book with fantastic illustrations, an incredibly adorable story, and throwback shout outs to some of the most wonderful scientists in our history, Edison: The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure is the book for you. This was such a fun read for me back…
I have heard so much about Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith, something that began a month ago when I was recommended it by someone who informed me that it was her favorite read for the month of January. The premise of this book sounds incredibly familiar to me, making me feel as though there was a book…
I was absolutely over the moon when I got my hands on a copy of The Manual of Aeronautics a sort of companion book to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series with a plethora of utterly brilliant art from the hand of the wonderful Keith Thompson whose art brought much of the story to life. I'm a huge fan of…
