As a person who gobbles up fantasies as if they were candy, and therefore has explored many worlds and tropes, Reverie was breathtakingly original. Not that there isn’t anything wrong with not being original—I enjoy those stories too—but I have honestly never read of a concept like this one before. I was so enthralled in… Continue reading Review: Reverie by Ryan La Sala

Review: The Falconer by Elizabeth May
It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a book that pulls me in so deep, that I devour it. I first started this book on an airplane, which was a very bad idea.

Review: Snow in Summer by Jane Yolen
I got this book on Black Friday. Originally another book from this author caught my eye, so much so that the reviews on the back of that one brought me to this one. I bought both books that day and have since become a fan of this author. Snow in Summer: Fairest of Them All… Continue reading Review: Snow in Summer by Jane Yolen
Review: Rooftops of Tehran by Mahbod Seraji
I got this book at my school during orientation. Everyone at orientation was allowed to pick a book from the choices they had, and a good friend of mine recommended this book for me. It isn't the typical genre I read, so I was dubious, but I got it anyway. Though this book is not… Continue reading Review: Rooftops of Tehran by Mahbod Seraji
Review: The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine
My best friend suggested this book for me, and I read it because of her. But let me tell you, that's not the reason I enjoyed it.

Review on Defiance
Let me start off by saying that I didn't know if I wanted to read this book or not. I originally bought it because I really liked C.J. Redwine, and she was really great on Twitter. I bought this book with a mere glance at the blurb—and that's not like me. So when it arrived… Continue reading Review on Defiance
Review: Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
I had originally read Uglies 5 years ago. In fact, I read the whole series—so I knew what was going to happen. Because of The October Club, I thought I'd read it again.

Review: Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley
