As much as I like to complain about all the Angel books being written recently, I sure do keep on reading them. Putting that aside, I enjoyed this one a lot. Angels are evil and are out to feed on humanity. Awesome. So, the story starts with Willow who can see people’s future. And when…

I know what you’re thinking, because I was thinking the same thing when I saw this on Net Galley. Another angel book? Why do publishers do this? I don’t understand it either. But I am glad they published this one. It’s so darn cute. It makes me want to squee. So, Clara is an angel-blood….

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can’t seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious…

As I’m sure you might be aware, the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie is released today, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve most likely seen the trailer. Yes it’s filled with danger and intrigue and countless other things I’m obscenely excited about, but one thing in particular stood…

It amazes me that Mr Popper’s Penguins was written in 1938. Did you know that? Because I didn’t, until I just recently. And it’s still beloved and read by children today. It boggles my mind. Strangely enough, I remember reading this book when I was young. It made that much of an impact. My mother…

Ok, so in elementary and middle school my nickname was “Pony Girl.” No it wasn’t a shout out to The Outsiders but rather an acknowledgment of the fact that I was a horse freak.  Now I wasn’t one of those “My Little Ponies” and Barbie horse girls- I held those in the upmost contention. I…

You know how, when you’re an adult, you stop reading picture books? Unless you have kids…but that’s different. You aren’t reading them for you. Well, I have a friend who’s never had this happen to her. She still loves to read picture books. And she has instilled in me the same love. So, when I…

One time, in second grade, my teacher said we were forming a foundation. That all the math and english and history we were learning may have seemed simple compared to what our older siblings were doing but it was a necessary foundation. Like a basement. We needed to learn the simple math so that later…

Raise your hand if you have a crazy family. No, not the “OMG my Mom drives me bonkers” kind of crazy; I’m talking the about your family is so ridiculous they’re practically caricatures of real people. Yeah, that’s a large contingency of my own kin, so when my sister (crazy in her own right) hands…

I came across this book in a different manner than most. I follow the author’s agent on twitter and she kept mentioning it. And, well, I loved the title. The plot was very different from what I was expecting, which I loved. The world it takes place in could almost be the past of our…
