Continue reading →: Review: Dragonsdawn by Anne McCaffrey
My Thoughts (May Contain Spoilers) After reading some recent dragon books, I wanted to go back to the OG dragon rider author, Anne McCaffrey, and view her books with fresh eyes. Well, older eyes. I read my first Pern book when I was around thirteen, and I was hooked. Flying…

Years ago I started Ashes and had to put it down. It was too scary. It freaked me out. But I enjoyed what I did read, so I will be picking it up again. In the meantime, I decided to try one of Bick’s older YA novels.

Continue reading →: Review: Dog Days of Summer by Teri Wilson
I saw the dog on the cover and snatched this up from the library. I read almost anything with a dog or a horse or cat on the cover. This is a great marketing tool that appeals to me, with the only downside being that the animal isn’t featured enough,…

Continue reading →: Review: Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
I am a sucker for zombie books, so when I heard about Dread Nation, I was all over it. This is set in an alternate America, when the dead started walking – and eating the living – during Gettysburg. That kind of put the brakes on the strife between the…

Continue reading →: Let’s Catch Up with the Bamboo Kingdom
One of my goals this year is to catch up on current series. I started reading Bamboo Kingdom last year, curious to see if Erin Hunter (Rosie Best) could keep up the same magic with pandas that I enjoyed so much with the Warrior Cats (which I also have to…

Continue reading →: Review: It Started with a Secret by Tif Marcelo
It Started with a Secret had me hooked from page one. I don’t know what I found so compelling about the story; I don’t usually find chef heroes very appealing. Maybe it was the age gap romance? The heroine is 40 to the hero’s 30. Or maybe it was the…

Continue reading →: Review: Swarm by Jennifer D Lyle
I love me my apocalypse books, Swarm was no exception. This book was unique and this was surprisingly fun. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from it, but man-eating butterflies is a new twist for me, so I grabbed a copy from the library.

Continue reading →: Review: Once There Was by Kiyash Monsef
I loved Once There Was. Marjan, an Iranian American teen, has inherited her father’s veterinarian practice after he is brutally murdered in their home. She chafes at the responsibilities thrust on her, resenting her father for getting himself killed and for keeping so many secrets from her.

Continue reading →: Review: The Prince and the Apocalypse
I loved the beginning of the book. Wren, an over-planner, can’t do anything without an itinerary. Forever feeling stressed because she can’t match up with her perfect sister, she has struggled to find her own way. Though she loves photography, she has allowed an off-hand comment from her sister to…

Continue reading →: Review: Romancing Miss Stone by M.C. Vaughan
When I saw Romancing Miss Stone on Netgalley, I immediately requested it. I loved Romancing the Stone, and I was hoping this would share the same campy humor. I really enjoyed it, and found Alex and Bo’s adventures fun. I loved the juxtaposition between Alex’s leap first and maybe, just…
