Book Review: Aspen Everlasting by Kathryn Cooper

October 13, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Aspen Everlasting is a fun paranormal romance.  This is the perfect fit for young teens as well as adults who want a clean romance that is entertaining to read. I'm not always a fan of romances because they feel cheesy sometimes, but there was plenty of humor and teasing that kept the cheesiness at bay.  This quote is ... Read More »

Book Review: Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley

October 9, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Short and Sweet Version I loved the sarcastic writing. The author experiments with formatting words on the page which I thought was cool.  The world was fascinating and felt new, but the plot slowed down in the middle because the world building kind of took over at that point.  It has a lovely ending and wonderful characters.  This ...

Book Review: These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner

August 25, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Short and Sweet Version An epic romance on par with Gone With the Wind that features a feisty female lead.  It made for a great discussion in my book club since it brought up social and women's issues.  The western setting and the journal-style story telling made it an unforgettable read. Jessica Thinks Too Much Version Mild spoilers ... Read More »
