This book came into my hands highly recommended and I only wish I could, in turn, place it directly into your hands. The characters alone have me cuddling the book tightly in my arms as I type. But the story...this story. Sigh. Well, there is a reason this book won both the Newberry Medal and... Continue Reading →
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is classic fantasy reading on par with The Once and Future King. Here, Beagle tells the tale of a unicorn who lives in the safety of her lilac forest. Death and age cannot touch her and so she has lived a peaceful life since before memory began. But now,... Continue Reading →
Everyone knows that women aboard pirate ships are unlucky. When I first saw Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller I assumed, erroneously, that the daughter from the title would be another left-behind maiden yearning to travel the sea with her father. I could not have been more wrong. Seventeen year old Alosa has been... Continue Reading →
"We are all children of blood and bone." Tomi Adeyemi's debut novel Children of Blood and Bone came into my hands riding a tidal wave of hype. It has been fraught with comparisons bent on convincing readers that this book is similar to something else they enjoyed. Truthfully, you will see some themes that are familiar... Continue Reading →
One of my 2018 challenges was to not purchase any books until I had read my already owned whole shelf of books. I did really well in January and February and then fell off the wagon....hard. I wrote down my newly purchased books for some of March but then I just couldn't even keep track. Now... Continue Reading →
The Cruel Prince has been everywhere. I love Holly Black and I was thrilled that she had a new book. But, I made a New Year's Resolution that I wouldn't buy any new books. Sigh. I resigned myself to waiting until after the backlog of books was taken care of and then I would zoom out... Continue Reading →
I know, I know. I'm falling further and further behind! But, you know whose fault it is? (Mine, really, because I apparently lack literary self control.) But some blame needs to be laid at Maggie Stiefvater's door for writing an engaging and epic series. It all started on October 15th when I started reading The Raven Boys.... Continue Reading →
I know, I know. I'm running behind. There have been some big changes to my life outside this blog that have created a little hiccup in my schedule. But, I have all day today to get caught up! So, lets start with the FGR for Saturday, October 14th. I have been reading some terrifying books... Continue Reading →
For today, my Frighteningly Good Read recommendation is The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Beginning with A Discovery of Witches, adventuring through Shadow of Night and culminating in Book of Life, the adventures of Diana the Witch and her Vampire soul mate Matthew were thrilling and fascinating. And, since it is soon to be a BBC television series (*squeal!*)... Continue Reading →
I read The False Prince when it first came out in 2012. Then, I somehow missed The Runaway King when it was published. Every since then, I keep seeing the trilogy and feeling badly that I didn't finish it. Just the other day I was wandering through my local book store and saw the trilogy and I... Continue Reading →
