A 2013 Reading Resolution
It’s 2013! Can you believe it!? In 2012 I made the lofty goal of reading 70 book and I exceeded expectations - I read 92! However, while I loved a lot of the books I read, I find that jumping from one book to the other didn’t give me enough time to digest what I just read and, I had to write reviews for those 92 books as well and I found myself far behind because I didn’t give...

In the Night Kitchen & Goldilocks and the Three...
This is the last of my reviews for the year! I know, I know, I’ve been slaughtering you with reviews, I just wanted to finish it before the year was over. However, there are only two remaining and I thought I’d do them together! First, In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, then Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems.
In the Night Kitchen is a wonderfully illustrated book...

For Darkness Shows the Stars is based...

Review: Among the Nameless Stars by Diana...
A Good beginning
Set before the story found in For Darkness Shows the Stars, Among the Nameless Stars is narrated by Kai and shows us what happened to him after he left Elliot and her father’s estate.
It’s a pretty quick and action packed read, it also allows the reader into Kai’s head and allows us to experience the pain and betrayal that he felt from Elliot. This also...

Review: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
More romance than action
If you are a fan of paranormal romance, then Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater is the book for you. If you want a bit more adventure than romance - like I did when I picked this book up - Shiver might be a bit of a drag.
When Grace was younger, she was attacked by some wolves at the back of her house. After one of the wolves saved her, Grace became obsessed with the wolves,...
