So What Does a Girl Have to Do to Get a Knight Around Here?
Review: The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa “My Name Is Meghan Chase. In less than twenty-four hours, I’ll be seventeen. Deja vu, right?

Of Gates, Gods & Magic
Review: The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card “Danny North grew up surrounded by fairies, ghosts, talking animals, living stones, walking trees, and gods who called up wind and brought down rain, made fire from air and drew iron out of the depths of the earth as easily as ordinary people might draw up water […]
Angelfire Takes a Kick-Ass Page From the Buffy Handbook {A Review}
Review: Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton “I held both of my arms out and willed weapons into my open palms. The twin Khopesh swords appeared out of nothing in a flash of shimmering light.

Something Short of Love at 13, rue Thérèse {a Review}
Review: 13, rue Thérèse by Elena Mauli Shapiro “She will give him the office with the tall useless empty file cabinet in the corner. He will probably not think to open all the drawers and look in them his first day on the premises. But he will, eventually, discover a box tucked all the way […]
Let the Delirium Commence {with a review}
Review: DELIRIUM by Lauren Oliver “Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing.

Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive […]
Reading Electra Aloud In The Dark
“Such is my story, – grievous to hear, if words can grieve; but for us, who beheld, the greatest of sorrows that these eyes have seen” – Paedagogus Confession I have always been a bit of a Greek classics geek. Meaning, I sorta love the stuff. The ever-meddling gods, the revenge, the pathos, the supernatural, […]
Harry Potter for Grownups
Review: Managing Death by Trent Jamieson “It’s not easy being Death. For starters, people keep dying. And then, they keep getting up again. Steven de Selby got promoted. This makes the increasing number of stirrers (and the disturbing rumors of a zombie god rising sometime soon) his problem. That time management seminar he keeps meaning […]

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars (I’ve been ruminating for over a week now on how to do this book justice in a review. It’s intimidating trying to say something fresh and new about a National Bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner by an author, Cormac McCarthy who is almost universally loved and respected. And so […]
