This is the first book in Lisle’s Sun and Moon trilogy. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I had read a couple of Lisle’s older books back when I was in high school and remember liking them. Well I am glad I picked this up because it …
This is the first book I have read by Dunkle. Her Hollow Kingdom series is supposed to be really popular, but not wanting to start a new series I thought I would check out this stand alone book first. It was an okay book, but nothing spectacular. Maddie lives in …
This book looked really interesting and I have read good things about it so I decided to give it a go. It was an enjoyable read, although there are a few things in the book which irked me a bit. This book was originally released in the early 80’s and …
This is the fifth book in the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. The series is 6 books in length, the last book is “First Lord’s Fury”. It was not as good as the previous book, but still a very good read. Tavi is heading off to the Canim’s homeland …

This is the first book in the “Vineart War Trilogy” by Laura Anne Gilman. I received this book as an Advanced Reading Copy through the Amazon Vine program. I have never read anything from Gilman before, although I have wanted to read her Retrievers series. I have mixed feelings about …
I have read DiCamillo’s story “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” previously and really liked it. When I saw she had written another book I was really excited to read it. This is a fabulous book; but touches on more adult topics than her other books. Peter Augustus Duchene is …
This is the first book in the Glass trilogy by Maria v. Snyder. This book follows Opal, the glass maker involved in some of the Poison Study stories. It was an okay book; but the characters lack a lot of the charisma seen in the Poison Study series. I actually …
