Falling Kingdoms has been touted quite a bit as “Game of Thrones for YA.” And it most certainly has the elements of that genre of fantasy. But it was so much more as well. In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms…

So, I may have teared up just writing the title of this book. Because, you know, I have problems. Two young women from totally different backgrounds are thrown together during World War II: one a working-class girl from Manchester, the other a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a wireless operator.

I wanted to write reviews for some books I read during the summer, but I didn’t take any notes and all I really remember is general ~feelings. So, I thought I’d write a bunch of mini reviews. Mystic City by Theo Lawrence This one is very similar in premise to Black City but without so…

Yet ever since her parents’…

Almost a year ago Leiah reviewed Ruby Red by Kiersten Gier and shortly after I bought the book for myself because she made it sound so good. Well, last month I finally got around to reading it and it was fabulous! Fast paced, lots of characters and mystery and time travel. Much awesome. And I…
