I am behind a bit on posting my September reading reviews but this book, and the rest of my Orilium readings, are too good to not talk about. This one, a middle grade mystery on a train through England and Scotland was excellent adventure I needed. SYNOPSIS In The Highland Falcon Thief: Adventures on Trains #1,... Continue Reading →
Y'all....this trilogy was a ride. From start to finish I struggled to put them down and the final book in the series had me sitting in my kitchen, perched on the edge of my seat. That kitchen seat is miserable! I just couldn't take the three seconds to walk into another room and get comfortable.... Continue Reading →
As my reading becomes my own again I want to merge back into being more a part of the bookish community. What better way than through Book Roast's new September Challenge - Orilium! I have participated in her Harry Potter themed reading challenges in past years and I am thrilled that she has re-designed everything... Continue Reading →

Both of these girls, their determination to help their families, and they openness to each other was such a joy to see. SYNOPSIS Sixth-graders Sara, a Pakistani American, and Elizabeth, a white, Jewish girl meet when they take a South Asian... Continue Reading →

Typically my entire month of November is dedicated to NonFiction reading. While I absolutely plan to participate in NonFiction November (I cannot wait to load up my TBR with more fabulous NonFiction!) but...I also know that I am better with things when I have balance. To achieve this balance I am going to participate in... Continue Reading →
I am always trying to work through my spectacular shelves of books and when I catch a reading mood I try to ride it for as long as possible. When Leslie @ Books Are the New Black mentioned that she was dedicating May to reading Middle Grade Books because there are two readathons, I knew this... Continue Reading →
The end of April is upon us and so is the due date for finishing our 2020's Magical Readathon OWLs. I finished all of my requirements even though I didn't follow my plan precisely proving, yet again, that I am more of a Ron than a Hermoine. I wanted to do all of the OWLs to... Continue Reading →
We could all use a little magic right now couldn't we? And, I'd like to think if anywhere is safe it would be Hogwarts. I really can't contain my excitement about this year's Magical Readathon and, if you find yourself needing a little reading motivation, look no further. The Magical Readathon is in its third...
