Review – Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey (4.5/5 stars)
I loved Carey’s Kushiel series and I also read a lot of urban fantasy, so I was excited to see that Carey had tried her hand at an urban fantasy novel. This novel wasn’t at all what I expected but I liked it quite a bit all the same. Santa …
Review – The Storyteller’s Daughter by Cameron Dokey (2/5 stars)
Previously I have read “Beauty Sleep” by Cameron Dokey, and I liked the story. So, I was excited to read another fairy tale retelling by Dokey. Unfortunately I found this retelling of “Arabian Nights” hard to get through and pretty boring. Shahrazad is the daughter of a great storyteller. When …
Review – Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart (4/5 stars)

Review – The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo (5/5 stars)
I have read a number of DiCamillo books and loved most of them. I decided to read this book because my son got the movie and I was interested in reading the book before I saw it. It was a wonderful book! This book tells the tale of three “people”. …
