Book Review: Darth Plagueis by James Luceno

March 27, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

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: The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes

January 16, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

To watch Downton Abbey is to watch a way of life slowly die with an epic story and it kind of reminds me of Gone with the Wind.  The best part of the TV show is the personal look into the servants' and nobilities' lives from the early 1900s and how they interacted with each ... Read More »

Book Review: Slippers of Pearl by Danyelle Leafty

Book Review Slippers of Pearl Danyelle Leafty

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. ...

Book Review: A Mutiny in Time by James Dashner

November 8, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

A Mutiny in Time is a story about 3 kids who travel back in time to fix history before the world ends.  I liked the twist in this story that unlike traditional time-travel stories, they are supposed to change things. The historic details that aren't accurate amused me. I think a lot of kids would be clever enough ... Read More »
