HOW TO LEAD A LIFE OF CRIME by Kirsten Miller

December 11, 2013

It took me a few days to recover from this one. Don’t take it the wrong way. I have so much love for How to Lead a Life of Crime! I can’t think of a book I have read the past couple of years that can even remotely compare! Reading this book caused an internal…

KITE SPIRIT by Sita Brahmachari

August 28, 2013

There are books that entrap readers—they can’t put them down until they have read them cover to cover. Those books don’t allow readers to do anything else but read because they must know what happens next. This was no such book. No, it was great in a different manner. Plot was not what drove the…
