Book Review: My Lady Jane
My Lady Jane by coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows Page Count: 512 (hardcover) Published: June 7, 2016 I read a lot of books.

5 Books for the Reluctant Tween Reader
My friend asked me a few weeks ago for book suggestions for her tween niece – her words were “something that isn’t Divergent” which is apparently the only book that exists in this girl’s world and I know she isn’t alone even though ::shudders:: it’s one of my least favorite YA dystopian novels. I thoughtContinue reading “5 Books for the Reluctant Tween Reader”

Book Review: Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins

He has become something of a Fan Boy where this series is concerned and pretty much eats, sleeps and breathes it. A kid after myContinue reading “Book Review: Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins”
15 Lessons Learned Watching The Maze Runner
Last night I decided to watch The Maze Runner even though I haven’t gotten around to reading the book yet. Because I’m a rebel. Yup. That’s right. Also my husband was like “Do you want to watch The Maze Runner?” And I said yes. Having not read the book, I was going into the movie relatively uninformed exceptContinue reading “15 Lessons Learned Watching The Maze Runner”
Book Review: The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
FEELS: liked, moody but modern, shippable My book club is discussing The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe this month. It’s been on my To Read list for several years so I was glad to have an excuse to get a copy.

BOOK REVIEW: THE ONE BY KIERA CASS
I first read The Selection back in July 2013, in nearly one sitting. It was a feverish love affair from the start and I think it took me less than three days to finish it. I downloaded the following book, The Elite and her novella, The Prince before even finishing the first book and devoured them inContinue reading “BOOK REVIEW: THE ONE BY KIERA CASS”
