Audiobook Review: The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan
Posted on July 7, 2013 1 Comment
The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan First of all, let me get this out of my system: dead people aren’t tossing anything. They are being tossed. In my head, this book is more accurately titled The Wave-Tossed Dead. Secondly, this was an audiobook listen and while Tara Sands did a good job and her voice […]

The Curse of the Wendigo byRick Yancey I loved Rick Yancy’s The Monstrumologist so much (my review here) that I quickly picked up this one, the second book of the series. Now that I’ve finished it, I’d probably hesitate to say that it was as strong as its predecessor, but nevertheless I wasn’t disappointed. This […]

Seraphina byRachel Hartman Know how I’ve always marveled and pondered the many ways authors handle the subject of dragons? Well, in Seraphina, they are intelligent, possess advanced technology, and have a magical ability that lets them take human form. The book takes place in a world where humans and dragonkind exist in a constant state […]

Thanks to my book hoarding habits, I found that I actually own the first books from both […]
Book Review: Will in Scarlet by Matthew Cody
Posted on June 16, 2013 Leave a Comment
Will in Scarlet by Matthew Cody I really enjoy books about famous fictional heroes that aren’t actually about the famous fictional heroes. Will in Scarlet is a Robin Hood story told first and foremost through the eyes of the young lord, William Shackley. Later, the voice of Much, the miller’s daughter turned son, is added. […]
Book Review: The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson Huge fan of Brandon Sanderson here, which is why I was all over this book even though I knew it would take place outside of his Cosmere universe and be a little different from his usual epics. I admit I was mostly curious as to what reading a young adult […]
