A different sort of Flashback Friday than usual. This book was published when I was teenager (I think…it’s pretty close anyway) but I didn’t read it until just now. So, it’s sort of like a Flashback…right? *squidges by on a technicality* I loved this book. I loved it’s fast pace, it’s cast, and it’s flying…

Hey, guys! Remember the other week when I talked about On The Edge by Ilona Andrews for a Grown-Up Thursday post? Well, I’m back with the follow-up book, Bayou Moon! *Yay* Summary (from Ilona Andrews’ website): The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Walmart and magic is…

November seems to have been super long, but also, super short, and Book Birthdays has crept up on me this time! But as the holiday season approaches, these are the new books you will see on the shelves. There’s a lot gorgeous covers this month! Gorgeous covers always excite me. December 1 Fixing Delilah by…

It’s so strange to me that the year that is over. It snuck up on me this time. All of a sudden I noticed various blogs doing “Best of 2010″ lists and the like. And then I had a lightbulb! As a “Best of” list would difficult with the four of us, I thought I…

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….

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…
