House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig: A Book Review
Have you ever ordered a large Ultra Cheese Dominos pizza with one kilogram of cheese on it, and then proceeded to voraciously consume the whole thing by yourself in one sitting? No? Oh good. Because uh…*starts to sweat nervously*…neither have I. That would be a totally irresponsible thing for a responsible adult, such as myself, to do. And believe it or not, House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig has a lot in common with this COMPLETELY HYPOTHETICAL situation; it sounds like a wonderful idea in theory, but is decidedly less so in actual execution.
A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer: A Book Review
Do you remember that scene in Anne of Green Gables where Anne accidentally serves her friend, Diana, currant wine instead of raspberry cordial? Well, reading A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer was kind of like that. I was expecting one thing, and what I got was vastly, intoxicatingly different.
Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee: An Audiobook Review
Do you like trusty steeds, sheriffs, and shootouts? What about cowboys, dusty trails, and a good old-fashioned Western? If you do, then you should read Under A Painted Sky by Stacey Lee. If you don't, then you aren't alone; I don't particularly like them either. That being said, you should still read Under A Painted Sky by Stacey Lee and let me tell you why.
The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee: A Book Review
What makes you go all moon-eyed and starstruck in love with a book? For me, it's the characters. And boy oh boy, does The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee have some amazing ones! Exhibit A: Jo Kuan. By day, she's a lady's maid to one of the richest, most stuck-up debutants in all of Atlanta. By night, she's Miss Sweetie, the anonymous author of the local newspaper's advice column. But no matter the time, Jo is full of spunk, sparkling wit, and undying courage. Believe you me: you won't want to miss this timely story chronicling her patriarchy-toppling, stereotype-smashing adventures!
The Storm Crow by Kalyn Josephson: A Book Review
So, birds are pretty cool; they're basically like little miniature airplanes that defy the laws of gravity by doing nothing but flapping their arms up and down. That's some mind-boggling stuff right there. Now imagine a bird that's as big as a horse and can even control the weather. If you can imagine that, then you can imagine 'The Storm Crow' by Kalyn Josephson. Click to read my full review.
