Book Review: The Nameless City
You may have heard me say before that graphic novels are not my favorite format to read. I read very quickly and it’s almost as if the images get in the way of the text. But, I appreciate graphic novels and although I may not be drawn to them, many…

Book Review: Last of the Sandwalkers
I had no idea what to expect when I opened up Jay Hosler’s Last of the Sandwalkers. I’m not a huge fan of graphic novels, mainly, I think, because I am a very quick reader and I think that the format slows me down a little and I really don’t spend…

Book Review: Book Scavenger
Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman is my favorite type of story – focused around books and a treasure hunt! Emily moves to San Francisco with her family and meets James, a next door neighbor who loves puzzles as much as she does. She’s excited to be in the hometown of…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 8/24/15
I don’t know what happened this week, but I got very little reading accomplished. I was expecting to read a lot on Monday (I had the day off) but instead ended up at a pop-up concert with Stevie Wonder in Philadelphia. It was a lot of fun, very hot, and…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
I started off the week with a light read called, Clayton Stone, At Your Service which was a fun, adventure story about a young boy who finds out his family works for the secret service. It’s not necessarily an earth-shattering story, but a quick story, perfect for a reluctant reader. The…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
This week I was able to get back on track with three books I read! The first book I read was called The Entirely True Story of the Unbelievable FIB by Adam Shaughnessy. A great story for those kids looking for mythology books – a specific focus on Norse mythology as…

It's Monday (*Tuesday), What Are You Reading? 5/26/2015
As I expected, I got very little reading done this weekend, but I got to spend a lot of time with family which was so nice, since my family lives about 5 hours away from me. I was able to finish Dangerous by Shannon Hale and ended up being a little…

Book Review: Seven Wild Sisters
Seven Wild Sisters: A Modern Fairy Tale by Charles De Lint is actually a companion novel to The Cats of Tanglewood Forest (which I never realized until after I read this one) and Seven Wild Sisters can easily stand on its own. Reminiscent of a classic fairy tale story, Sarah…

The Iron Trial
I’m still battling a wicked cold/flu thing that forced me to spend time relaxing this weekend, which allowed me to get a lot of reading done! And boy, did it feel great! I finished The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare and read all of I am Malala:…
