Book Review: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

August 26, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

The Night Circus is storytelling at its best.  Right from page one, the circus is brought to life by talking to you, the reader, as if you were actually there. "What kind of circus is only open at night?" people ask. ... You are amongst them, of course.  Your curiosity got the better of you.... -Erin Morgenstern, The ... Read More »

Book Review Divide and Conquer Infinity Ring Carrie Ryan

Book Review Clockwork Princess Cassandra Clare

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  This is how a series should end.  You should be glued to the pages and so invested about what is going to happen next to these characters.  There should be a twist that shocks you so much you feel like whacking your sleeping ...

November 29, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Cate of the Lost Colony is about a girl who is banished to the new world by a jealous queen. This is the kind of entertaining historical fiction that also happens teaches you a little something about history.  There is a huge cast of characters in this book, most of whom existed in real life. ...
