When I first heard about this book I was very excited. A dystopian starring descendants of the current English royalty? Awesome. Royalty in danger, hiding amongst the common people to save their family and retake the throne? It’s like the what I love about fantasy in a dystopian setting. Yes please. A series of natural…
Recently the wonderful folks at Penguin Young Readers Canada hooked me up with a copy of The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. I may or may not have actually jumped up and down and squeed. Maybe done a little dance. I was gleeful at any rate. And immediately after reading it, I had to send…
Quite independently of each other, Christine and I recently read Glimmer by Phoebe Kitanidis. When we discovered that we’d both read and both liked it we thought we’d review together. This, good people, is that review. Caitlin: This is the second of three “idyllic town on surface, crazy evil magic below,” books I’ve read recently….
Very, very last minute I decided to take part in Dewey’s 24 hour Readathon today! Yay! This is going to be my updates post! My main goal for the Readathon is to get as caught up as possible on my Netgalley books because I am so bad at reading ebooks when I have real books…
I have such intense feelings about this book. And they’re not all good ones, so I’ve waited awhile before writing the review in the hope that my feelings will have calmed a bit.

Would you act differently knowing you might be able to come back? Would you, maybe, take more risks? As a little girl, Daisy Appleby was killed in a school bus crash….
I have no idea why I wanted to read this one as bad as I did. I mean, sure I love angel books but this one sounded…different. It sound like it would be less FUN and more, I’m trying to say something important about society. And, to a point, it was that…but it was also…
Article 5 was one of those books that drags you along through the muck and trees and rocks until you’re sure you can’t take anymore, but then you find that you like the muck and trees and rocks and soon after that, you find yourself screaming, ‘Bring it on!’ to whatever else is out there…
Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to be in the center of an international murder mystery? Have you ever watched a Bourne movie or read a James Bond book and thought, “Yeah, I could do that”? Unfortunately, for Nora, she neither asked for nor wanted the responsibility that was thrust upon her. She…
I was really excited for this book before it came out, mostly from the cover. It’s a gorgeous cover. Then I read the summary and I knew I had to read it. It just struck too many chords with me to ignore. After the first chapter, I knew I’d picked correctly because this book, guys,…
