You may recall that back in April I participated in Dewey’s 24hour Read-a-thon. Well, Saturday, October 13th is the autumn run of the Read-a-thon and I am once again getting up ridiculously early to participate. This post will be my updates post and I think I’m going to try to steal some of my friend…

This was a super quick read, so if it intrigues you at all I encourage you to pick it up. It really isn’t going to cost you much (in time, I mean) and the cover is rather gorgeous. In the beginning, there was an apple- And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury,…

This is the episode where we really show our love for all things Melina Marchetta by focusing on one of her books and going on and on and on about it for an hour. And I cut out a lot of talking. Remember, on our Book Club episodes we SPOIL EVERYTHING ! Show Notes -Christina…

If you’ve read Ender’s Game, which you should because it’s completely brilliant and amazing, then you might have wondered, like me, what happened to Ender right after. Speaker of the Dead doesn’t answer all those questions, so thankfully we now have Ender in Exile to provide them. Warning: This review will contain a few spoilers for…

I have conflicting feelings about this book. I definitely liked it but it wasn’t at all what I was hoping it was going to be. After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers…

The third book in Jackson Pearce’s Fairytale Retellings series, Fathomless focuses on The Little Mermaid version from the Brothers Grimm more than the Disney version most of us know and love. I like to think of this as the book that brings the series together, since it all comes full circle once you meet the…

I can’t really quantify why I like this books. I just do. When Jax and Sasha first see Jordan Ellis, they know she is no ordinary teenager. She’s the daughter of the President after all, but she’s also Anabo – a descendant of Eve. What they don’t know is that Eryx plans to kidnap Jordan…

When I reviewed The Girl of Fire and Thorns I called it “a Hunger Games for fantasy fans.” Not because it was an arena battle to the death with magic, but because it was an intense, page-turning, emotional adventure with an awesome heroine. And Crown of Embers does not disappoint in the slightest! In the…

Susan Dennard’s Something Strange and Deadly is a book that somehow manage to combine almost all of my favorite things: zombies, Victoriana, steampunk, spirits, and a plucky heroine and a smart boy. What made this book work for me was that it had a unique take on all of those things. Please, don’t let the…

On this most wonderful episode we discuss our favourite Australian authors and why we think Australian authors are so very awesome. And we are joined by the most wondiferous Wendy from The Midnight Garden Show Notes -We didn’t know any Australian bloggers to guest on this episode, so we found an American one who has…
