  • “Take Me With You” by Andrea Gibson

    I’ve finished this book finally. I had gotten this book because it’s small enough to fit into your pocket. I liked the idea that I can carry this around with me and read it whenever I wanted. However, I had a hard time connecting with most of the stuff in this book. I think the poetry in this book…

  • “Stargazing at Noon” by Amanda Torroni

    This is a new author for me and a little different when it comes to the type of poetry I’ve come to enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s bad. It’s just different and different can be a good thing. My favorite from this book is titled “Or Maybe I Am The Moon” but there were…

  • “The Pale House Devil” by Richard Kadrey

    I finished reading this novella today and thought I’d share. I liked this story…….I just kind of wished it was longer. The banter between the two main characters is pretty funny at times and adds an element of laughter to this horror story. By the way, this is kind of an adult only book and I wouldn’t recommend…

  • “The Doll People” by Ann M. Martin & Laura Godwin (pictures by Brian Selznick)

    I finished this one last night before going to bed and thought I’d share. Even though this is a book meant for the kiddos, it’s got a nice story to it (enough to keep me entertained, at least). I also liked the artwork provided throughout the book. I think it depicts the characters and what is going on…

  • Shipment #3

    Well, this book showed up in the mail today. I have all of my order now except for one book and that last book is a pre-order so I won’t receive until it’s release date. But, other than that, I’ve got everything I’ve ordered. I kind of wished everything showed up all together…..each shipment must have come from…

  • Shipment #2

    Well, the other half of my order came in today. It was waiting for me when I got home which gave me something to look forward to when I got home from work (other than my wonderful hubby and my cat). Now I’d better get reading, hadn’t I?

  • Shipment

    When I was at the local book store last, I got myself a gift card. Since I got a gift card, I can use that to purchase stuff online (as well as in the book store obviously). I decided to buy online because there were some books that I was looking for that was not available in…

  • “Darkness” by Christopher Krovatin

    This is the first book of the year for me that I finished reading last night before I went to bed. This is a middle grade horror book, if I was a kid then I would have probably read this around 5th or 6th grade. If your kid likes scary stories (and aren’t easily scared) then this…

  • Latest haul…

    I got to stop by the bookstore yesterday afternoon and came home with three new books. The first book was something I picked up on a whim because I thought it looked interesting. The other two books were books that were on my list. I’m one of those people that think there’s no such thing as too many…
