Book Review: Taken by Erin Bowman

May 8, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Taken Erin Bowman

Taken reminded me a little of The Maze Runner - they both had this engrossing quest for answers.  The plot delivers on answering a lot of the questions that come up.  The story moves quickly and kept me glued to the pages.  The interesting world was the strongest part of this book.  But, sadly there ...

Book Review: Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

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

Star Wars Book Month Review: Star Wars Trilogy

February 26, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Events 2 Comments

I originally wrote this review on June 29, 2011.  I read these books when I was a teenager, and then decided to re-read them when I started my blog.  It was really interesting to read these novels again now that I've seen the prequels. The first thing I noticed - the prequels don't match up to ... Read More »

Book Review: Oh No She Didn’t by Clinton Kelly

January 18, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

Book Review Oh No She Didn't Clinton Kelly

I'm a bookish person who wants to dress better.  So what do I do? Read a book about dressing better.  I knew more than I thought I would as I was reading it, but I still learned a few style tips.  Oh No She Didn't had pictures for every single example, so this 200 page ... Read More »
