BOOK REVIEW: Verbosity’s Vengeance by Tony Noland

Tony Noland was one of those authors who kept showing up as a retweet in my Twitter stream. I had no clue who he was or what he was talking about, but it became apparent fairly quickly that he was an author, and one with a sharp sense of humor to boot. I bought his … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Verbosity’s Vengeance by Tony Noland

BOOK REVIEW: An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet

I received an ARC for this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. If absolutely nothing else, the initial blurb of this book is enough to make me grab it off the shelf. Dark things happening! There was a war! Ugly truths! Risks being taken and secrets being kept! Woo! What more could … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet

BOOK REVIEW: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer

I've never read any of Jodi Picoult's work before, though a quick look at a Books-A-Million the other day showed me that I'd be willing to at least give them a shot. So when Between the Lines and its sequel Off the Page started showing up in my BookTube world, I didn't quite know what to expect. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer

BOOK REVIEW/TALK – Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

This book came into my world view from a few people I was once friends with, who were discussing the possibility of it becoming a movie. I hadn't heard of it, and was willing to get it when I later found it in a store. When ARMADA came out just recently, it spurred my interest … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW/TALK – Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

BOOK REVIEW – The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

The Winner's Curse is a book that I walked by in a library and the cover caught my eye. I'd been in looking for a different book (which I didn't find) and saw the gorgeous red-pink cover and had to see what it was about. The blurb was interesting enough, and since I wasn't finding … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

BOOK REVIEW – Of Gods and Madness: The Faithful by Justin D. Herd

I had originally been a portion of a blog tour for this book (as you saw my promo post for it a post or so back) and was scheduled to give a review on that day. However, there was a stipulation in the tour (understandably) that if you could not give the book a 3-star … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – Of Gods and Madness: The Faithful by Justin D. Herd

BOOK REVIEW – I’m Not Her by Cara Sue Achterberg

Take a person who is the opposite of everything you are, or try to be. Now imagine suddenly being that person. That's what happens to Carin Fletcher one day as a Valentine's Day display at the local supermarket comes crashing down on her head: she body-swaps with Leann Cane, the cashier in her line. As … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – I’m Not Her by Cara Sue Achterberg

BOOK REVIEW: Trust Me by Earl Javorsky

Jeff Fenner's life is on the brink of collapse. He owes the wrong people too much money, anything he might call his own he's losing his grip on, and his estranged sister has just committed suicide. The police are on his trail and it won't lead anywhere Jeff is ready to go. There's no light … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Trust Me by Earl Javorsky

BOOK REVIEW(?) – The Crocodile by the Door

I'm only roughly calling this a book "review" because I'm less writing this as a review of Selina Guinness' work and more simply because I want to talk about the story at large. As many of you know, I don't commonly read non-fiction, but after visiting Tibradden last year during my final residency of graduate … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW(?) – The Crocodile by the Door
