I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I finished Madeline Miller's first book, The Song of Achilles. That book tore something in my heart and for days afterwards I carried it around the house as one would a beloved stuffed animal. When I learned that she had a new book I... Continue Reading →
Trollhunters is written by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus. Most people have heard of Guillermo del Toro either for Pan's Labyrinth or the more recent Academy Award willing film, The Shape of Water. Less have heard of his co-author Daniel Kraus who, along with del Toro co-authored The Shape of Water. But, before The Shape of... 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 →
This book has been on my radar for years. I was never assigned it in high school or college but everyone I knew had read it and found it to be profound. I have picked up copies at library books sales through the years (two to be exact) but it took listening to the audiobook... Continue Reading →
Some books are so well written that I find myself transported to another place or another time. When I finish the story, I always close the book, hold it in both hands and look back to the cover. I smile because just a few days ago this book was a stranger to me and now... Continue Reading →
I will be honest, as a kid I was never a fan of Wonder Woman. Before the fabulous Gal Gadot, the different variations of Diana Prince were underwhelming for me. She had so many things going for her but I was really stuck on the cleavage bearing outfit and the invisible plane. Both made me... Continue Reading →
This book made me happy cry...three times. Now, maybe it is because the book reached directly into my geeky little heart and plucked at my fan-fiction loving heartstrings. Or, perhaps this delightful little re-telling of Cinderella was just swoon worthy enough to push my frazzled emotions over the edge. Either way, I love this book!... Continue Reading →
I argue that since grownups were once children we have locked inside all of us the memories and feelings of being younger. Reading children's literature takes you back and reminds you of things forgotten or pushed aside during day-to-day adulating. Beautifully written children's books are for everyone. But, I feel that a great deal of what... Continue Reading →
Throwback Thursday was started by Renee at ItsBookTalk.com to showcase books that were published over a year ago and have been languishing on your to be read shelf. I actually found her throwback because she did a lovely feature of Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl for today's post. We all know I am obsessed with Kinsella! MY PICK: Angelmaker... Continue Reading →
