3 Reviews for the Price of One! (One re-read project)

15. The Magicians by Lev Grossman (a re-read) ★★★★ Upon second reading it gave me the opportunity to love certain characters more, and like certain characters even less. The normal world becomes mundane and boring in this tale, and so does the magical world until, as per usual, something is at stake. While embarking on this… Continue reading

Fast Reviews (In which I read a lot of Ilona Andrews, like seriously, a ton)

Here are some quick reviews: 6. Geek Girls Unite by Leslie Simon This book is not exactly what I thought it was going to be but I’m not going to complain about that. It was a humorous look at Geek culture, and how we’re received by the world. I did find it funny in this… Continue reading

Currently Reading

Here is what I’m currently reading, just in case anyone wants to know! Shifting Shadows by Patricia Briggs I have a hard time letting go of series reads and this is no exception.

I recently downloaded the Delicious Library, and using points bought a little bluetooth scanner because I am a total nerd who wants to catalogue all the things. I decided to give it a go, and using this program catalogued the books on my shelves… Continue reading

Reading Project January-February Kelley Armstrong

I love Kelley Armstrong. I met her before I loved her writing, before I’d read a single word and she was a warm, friendly person. I wish I could meet her now to tell her that I’ve tried to read every word she’s written and it’s still an ongoing project for me, and that the… Continue reading

But someone is killing women in the tunnels, and Joe’s moral compass is spinning. This book is chilling, and oh so well written.

3. The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory

————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Plot This novel gripped me quite quickly, as I read about the fictitious beginning of one of the royals I have always been most intrigued about. The unraveling of the beginning of Catalina’s life was quite well written, and her love for Arthur definitely believable. Characters I read this novel for Katherine/Catalina of… Continue reading

The discovery of a dangerous device, created by none other than Nikola Tesla himself really does drive this… Continue reading
