Young Adult Book Review: Prodigy by Marie Lu Prodigy is the second book in the Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu. This book has a fairly high rating on Goodreads, and I have some friends that just love this series. I think the books are okay, but I don’t seem to find them as engaging as …
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great New Year, and maybe found a bit of time for reading, much like I did. I’m glad that 2018 is here. The end of 2017 found me distracted and blue, and I’m ready for a new start. After a busy 2017 releasing Under Jupiter and …
Today is the last day of the year! That means it’s time to take a look at how I’ve done over the past year, and to look at my plans for next year. I set my Goodreads goal to 60 books for 2017, and reached that goal last week. I’m currently sitting sitting at 62 …
Young Adult book review: Leia Princess of Alderaan, by Claudia Gray. Not only am I a Star Wars fan, I’m a huge Princess Leia fan. I absolutely adore this book cover, and had to have the book.

I’m going to start this off by saying that I got this book as part of a conference “goodie-bag”. I love vampires, and it’s the right time of year, so I decided to give it a go. Amber Fang The Hunted by Arthur Slade is a nice, quick read. What I liked about it most …
Young Adult Book Review: The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The Darkest Part of the Forest is a beautifully written (and I mean pink-sunset beautiful) novel about a young girl, her …
Young Adult Book Review: The Savage Dawn by Melissa Grey I loved The Girl At Midnight series from the first, and really looked forward to the third book. While I enjoyed the Savage Dawn, I felt like not as much happened as could have, and the characters sat around for a long time thinking about …
Young Adult Book Review: The Death Cure by James Dashner It has taken me a long while to get around to reading the last book of The Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. This last book in the series definitely kept me on the edge of my seat as I wondered just how Dashner was …
