A Fantasy Romance of The Black Court (Tales of The Black Court Book 1)
A Fantasy Romance of The Black Court (Tales of The Black Court Book 1)

Review:Enjoyed reading this book. It's a different take on an old story. I really liked the puca character. The chemistry between Logan and Trina was amazing. The downside of Trinas character is she was constantly whining about being left behind even when she acknowledged that was for the best and also constantly questioning Logan's motives. Read more

Treasure Island
Treasure Island

Review:What a timeless tale for young adults and those young at heart! Robert Louis Stevenson was a great author and could certainly weave a story full of adventure and suspense. The character of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver are colorful and lively and the development of Jim's character from a young adolescent to an young adult is interesting and instructive. Read more

Review:The trilogy books are great. But I did not receive the book ( Diana bishops commonplace book.)
The all souls trilogy boxed set was advertised as including the commonplace book.
I was very disappointed that the boxed set was not complete. Read more

Review:Bookish Lev Grossman's Codex shows that Lev has a solid background in books (I don't know if you call it library science or bibliohistory), but for those who share this interest, Codex is a fun read. It's not half bad for the rest of us, either. Not a great read, but certainly better than the current god-awful pulp from Dan Brown. I wouldn't lump them together, but the work of both authors shares the themes of lost treasure and ancient secrets. Grossman is an infinitely better writer than Br... Read more

Tongues of Serpents: A Novel of Temeraire
Tongues of Serpents: A Novel of Temeraire

Review:The previous books in this series are so much better.
Nothing much happens until you get more than halfway through the book.
I was disappointed, perhaps it's better if you have the previous book
fresh in memory which I hadn't. Would be nice with a recap from
the previous book as an introduction. Read more

The Unmaking Engine (The World Walker Series Book 2)
The Unmaking Engine (The World Walker Series Book 2)

Review:Well thought out, intriquing and more importantly never the main character/author never succumbs to self loving rants about himself dispite his god like powers. As much as is possible in a story of this nature (which is to say wonderfully fantastic) it felt grounded.

Also truly excellent side characters. The author made me care again and again about characters I knew I would never see again after I turned the single page they appeared on. A truely rare feat in my experience. Read more

Black Ops (Expeditionary Force Book 4)
Black Ops (Expeditionary Force Book 4)

Review:This good story continues. It's funny, and suspenseful. This time the readers were left hanging; can't wait for the next installment.
Only downside is the grammar and sometimes word usage. Must proofread more carefully!!! Read more

Red Riding Hood
Red Riding Hood

Review:So by reading the reviews before actually reading the book I was nervous to read this book because I didnt know how it would turn out. Catherine Hardwicke is someone who I havent seen her work other than Twilight and I wasnt to much in love with how the movie turned out. But I gave it a shot and it was well worth it.
I understand people were upset because it cut it short with a lot of questions unanswered. I get that. But to be fair the book wasnt supposed to be released for another month or ... Read more

Wives and Daughters (Penguin Classics)
Wives and Daughters (Penguin Classics)

Review:I've enjoyed reading all of Elizabeth Gaskell's books. She teaches some good lessons about how we should treat one another. The fact that we don't have the end of the story isn't such a bad thing. Life is kind of like that. Read more
