Book Review: Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

August 7, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Book Review Book of a Thousand Days Shannon Hale

The first thing that I loved about Book of a Thousand Days was the writing style. I was immediately immersed in this journal from a maid that felt so authentic.  The maid also had me laughing with her honesty. The mythology was so beautiful and unique. I knew where I hoped the plot would go, but ... Read More »

Book Review: Endlessly by Kiersten White

July 31, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first two books in this series. One of my favorite things about this whole series is that the voice is so amazing.  You get this great, sarcastic, funny teenager who is just full of personality.  Endlessly inspires me to write better voice in my own writing.  Through the ...

Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

July 3, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

I've been putting off reading Divergent for a while now because it seemed too similar to the Hunger Games. They do have some things in common like a girl fighting a dystopian government, but the worlds are so different that they didn't feel similar at all. Divergent felt similar to the Matrix more than anything. ... Read More »

Book Review: Destined by Aprilynne Pike

May 29, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the previous books in this series.  Destined was the perfect ending to one of my all-time favorite series. I liked each book in this series just as much as the first one (which is rare for me). The whole series had all the things I look for - a ... Read More »

Book Review: Illusions by Aprilynne Pike

May 25, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the previous books in this series. Each book in this series adds a little more to the mythology. In book 1, we learned about fairies and their biology. In book 2, we learned about where the fairies live and their culture. In Illusions we got to learn a lot about ... Read More »
