THE PARADOX OF VERTICAL FLIGHT by Emil Ostrovski

February 26, 2014

There is something terrifying yet absolutely comforting about coming across a character that seems to be of equal mind to mine. Or maybe it’s the author’s thoughts that might as well have been pulled out of my very own mind. Not that I could have written this tale but the voice! That voice was like…

OUT OF THE EASY by Ruta Sepetys

February 24, 2014

Historical Fiction is not usually my preferred genre. Unless the history that is involved is from two centuries ago or so, then I’m more likely to reconsider picking up such a book.

MY LIFE NEXT DOOR (My Life Next Door #1) by Huntley Fitzpatrick

February 19, 2014

I’m not sure if I would’ve enjoyed My Life Next Door as much as I did had I read a physical book of it myself. There’s no doubt I would’ve liked it just not quite as much. As it is, My Life Next Door is the kind of book I very much enjoy listening to…

ALTERED by Gennifer Albin

February 15, 2014

I had such a tough time finishing this book. So many times did I consider just not finishing it but I told myself I should give it another chance. I know I had trouble with Crewel but this whole weaving business that supposedly kept order in Arras was too original for me not to continue…
