A Whole New World started off painfully similar to the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the movie Aladdin, but I want something different from a book. I don’t want a book to feel like someone is sitting there, watching the movie, and describing […]

Review: A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas
A Wicked Thing is my favourite fairy tale retelling in a long time! It felt like a breath of fresh air. It kept pretty true to the Sleeping Beauty story I knew, but it breathed some fresh life into it. There were subtle (and not […]
Review: The Sin Eater’s Daughter by Melinda Salisbury
I could cry a thousand tears over The Sin Eater’s Daughter. 🙁 I was initially drawn to this book by the GORGEOUS cover, then I read an AWESOME synopsis which backed up my first thought of, “HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!” I had such high hopes for […]

Okay I need to take a deep breath. Inside a paper bag. Because this book is like.. yeah. This was my single most highly anticipated novel of 2012. I’d been looking forward to it since.. well, maybe not that long compared to some people, but […]
The Selection by Kiera Cass
Plot Summary My Review I knew I was going to love The Selection. I read the plot summary, I read the reviews, and I just knew it would be a five star book. And for me, it definitely was! I read this book in one […]
