I’d never read any of Holly Black’s books before I picked up White Cat. Faeries were never my favorite, but I bought White Cat because it was about magicians. Curse workers, to be precise. And, because I’m me, the cover sucked me in. It was cool and magician-y while still being kind of mysterious and completely fitting…

Raise your hand if R.L. Stine scared the bejeezus out of you at some point during your childhood. *takes a look around at all the raised hands* I thought so. Well, it was the same for me. I started on the Goosebumps series when they first came out, starting with Welcome to Dead House. Now…

There was something comforting, in an overly strange way, about reading  a vampire story over Halloween weekend. Rachel Cain’s Ghost Town, the latest in her Morganville Vampire Series, while not exclusively about vampires – fearless child prodigy Claire is our protagonist after all-  most of the vampires who are in it are frightening and by…

Another month another group of fantastic books about to come our way. Sigh, this is why, if I had a super power I’d want it to be the ability to stop time. Then I could read all the books. November 2nd Pegasus by Robin McKinley Because of a thousand-year-old alliance between humans and pegasi, Princess…

I get the feeling that I’m in the minority when I say Will Grayson, Will Grayson is my favourite John Green book. Everyone I’ve talked to about this seems to the one of his first three is the best. John Green even, arguably, seems to think this as his vlogs in the year coming up…

I was so excited to read Behemoth, that when I held the ARC in my hands at Comic Con, I seriously considered running off with it. Christine had, apparently, planned out an escape route for us. Alas, I didn’t get to keep the ARC (legally or otherwise) but I was able to gaze lovingly at…

It’s of little surprise that a twenty-something in the early years of her career and graduate school would be really into Peter Pan stories. The concept of never growing up and old, living forever as a footloose and fancy free child or teen (depending on who is interpreting it) sounds just about fantastic every morning…

On to today’s review and GIVEAWAY … Warning: If you have not read the first two books in the Strange Angels series (Strange Angels and Betrayals), then not only will you probably not understand what’s going on, but…

Last year when Beautiful Creatures came out I’d been coming off a long streak of really bad books. Then as if by a miracle here was this book that was everything I was craving and didn’t even know. It was full of the small town Southern atmosphere as thick as the heat and humidity in…
