OUT OF TUNE by Michelle D. Argyle

December 31, 2013

Out of Tune is the last book I finished reading before the new year, and I am glad that it is also the last one I get to review this year because it’s a good book to remember the end of 2013 by. I thoroughly enjoyed it for the depth it offers alongside the roller…

LET IT SNOW by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle

December 28, 2013

Book cover of LET IT SNOW by John Gree, Maureen Johnson and Lauren MyracleEven though Let it Snow was published as a single book, it contains three stories told by each of the three authors. In that sense, it’s more like three novellas but with a twist. They’re not entirely stand-alone, even though they could be. One can in good conscience choose to read just one of these stories and forgo the other two but I wouldn’t recommend it. I say, read all three, and be taken in by some Christmas magic! And why pick it up now that the 25th of December has passed? Take it from Mayzie (you’ll meet her in The Patron Saint of Pigs.

SNOWED OVER by Angie Stanton

December 24, 2013

Book cover of SNOWED OVER by Angie StantonMaybe romance books just aren’t for me. Romance novellas even less so. Or I just haven’t found the kind that makes me go all soft inside. While I didn’t launch into eye rolls as I had feared, sadly, I didn’t really feel Snowed Over either.

NORTH POLE REFORM SCHOOL by Jaimie Admans

December 15, 2013

North Pole Reform School is a very imaginative book that takes a lot of Christmas traditions, reinvents them and adds a lot of unconventional ideas as well. I think that is the one thing I would laud this book for. I mean, zombies and Christmas when the point of the book is to spread some Christmas…

DECKED WITH HOLLY by Marni Bates

December 1, 2013

Happy First Advent! What better way to get into the Christmas season than with holiday-day themed books? So I picked up Decked With Holly by Marni Bates to get into the mood. It was a little less Christmassy than I had expected because one of the main characters, Holly, is of Jewish descent, so Christmas wasn’t…
