Book Review: Illusions by Aprilynne Pike

May 25, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the previous books in this series. Each book in this series adds a little more to the mythology. In book 1, we learned about fairies and their biology. In book 2, we learned about where the fairies live and their culture. In Illusions we got to learn a lot about ... Read More »

Book Review: Spells by Aprilynne Pike

Book Review Spells Aprilynne Pike

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Spells was just as engrossing and lovely as the first book. I adore this take on fairy mythology. It's enchanting, unique and filled with the kind of things that I love to day dream about - fairies, flowers, castles, and houses made of ... Read More »

Book Review: Return to Exile by E.J. Patten

May 22, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Book Review Return to Exile R. J. Patten

Return to Exile was like Ghostbusters (with teens) meets A Series of Unfortunate Events with a tiny bit of Inception sprinkled on top. It was a pretty cool combination. Just when I thought that nothing else could go wrong, it would go all Unfortunate-Events on me and get worse. The witty humor was one of my ... Read More »

Blogoversary Countdown!

May 21, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Events 4 Comments

Guess what?  My very first post on this blog was on June 16, 2011.  That means my 1 year Blogoversary is less than a month away! I have a fun party planned for June 16 next month.  I really wanted to do a yearly survey and a mission statement, but that would kind of put ... Read More »
