Book Review: Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

April 18, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 13 Comments

Right away I fell in love with the writing.  It was fascinating with it's deep thoughts one minute, biting sarcasm the next and some very amusing honesty.  It's visual, easy to imagine and I could tell that it was a play first before this novelization came out.  And the voice was just bursting with personality. ...

Book Review: The Runaway King by Jennifer A. Nielsen

April 12, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  I read The Runaway King in one day mainly because I love the main character, Sage.  I was able to guess pretty well what was going to happen plot-wise, but Sage's unexpected wit and sarcasm are hugely entertaining.  He even did a few things ...

When I first saw this book at the store, I was beyond excited to read it.  I knew right away it would be filled with awesome backstory from the prequels and I wasn't disappointed.  The writing was wonderful.  It sucked you in with it's eery tone and deep thoughts.  There were so many interesting revelations ...

Book Review: Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

March 18, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Incarnate is about a girl named Ana who lives in a world full of people that always get reincarnated except for her.  She's never been born before and frankly no one knows where the crap she came from.  And no one likes her either.  It sounds like an exciting start to a book which is ...
