Okay, so I'll admit. I'm a huge fan of Wicked, both the musical and the book. I've seen The Wiz, both on stage and the movie. I haven't actually seen the original Wizard of Oz movie all that often, and nor have I had a chance to read the books. But I love the story, and the characters, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

I've not made a secret out of the fact that character development is something to which I've devoted way too much of my life. I was obsessed with character surveys. I've done star charts for characters--and then altered things depending on how accurate it was. I did my entire undergraduate thesis on the concept. And yet … Continue reading Tell Me What You Remember
Book twooo! I continue to be way too excited to read this trilogy. I've waited so long... *sniff* But particularly after where book one left off, I was particularly interested in what was going to happen next. (Note: spoilers for book one below the cut, because it is literally impossible to talk about book two … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BLIGHTBORN by Chuck Wendig
I've been excited to read this since I first found out that the book existed and was going to be published. As with too much of the rest of the country, I have a strange fascination with tragedy and why it happens, so a book about a school shooting is right up my alley. (Particularly … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp
This is book one of the Heartland trilogy. I've finally obtained, and read, a book one of a Chuck Wendig series. yesssssssssss But in all seriousness, my ongoing battle with Barnes & Noble, Chuck Wendig, and my propensity for obtaining book threes in trilogies has been the topic of some discussion on both here and … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: UNDER THE EMPYREAN SKY by Chuck Wendig
I've always been torn on how I should approach book reviews: whether to write the review immediately after reading the book, or waiting a bit and seeing how the book stays with me and then writing the review. Sometimes however, the decision is made for me just because of my schedule--and that's the case with … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly
I can't recall exactly where I came across STARGIRL for the first time, though my guess would be I saw something about it on Goodreads. I'm not usually a reader of anything bordering on Middle Grade; it has a tendency to amplify everything I dislike about Young Adult. (This doesn't surprise me, of course. The … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli
When I got my Kindle for Christmas, I went on a bit of a spree trying to find books I could track down for either free or very low cost. I can't recall how I tracked this one down--I'm guessing it showed up somewhere in my library as a free download, but the blurb looked … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR by A.J. Banner
Look at this. LOOK AT THIS! What a cover, am I right?! I KNOW, RIGHT?! You've got it in one, Dean. As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of Deaf culture and ASL in general, so when I got a chance to touch base with Laura Brown about her writing, I was thrilled … Continue reading COVER REVEAL: SIGNS OF ATTRACTION by Laura Brown
It's no secret that I have an incredibly long TBR list. Thus, when I talk to my friends about books they enjoy, I have to take any time they say "oh gosh you HAVE you read this book/series/etc" very lightly. If I read every book that everyone told me I should, I would genuinely never … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: IN THE WOODS by Tana French
