Robot Rizz

Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz

by 2 Comments

When reading this book you will need to make sure you have immediate access to some incredibly delicious noodles because you will be awakening a vicious craving. A small group of robots unexpectedly reboot themselves in an abandoned ghost kitchen in post-war San Francisco. They were unexpectedly shut down before being left behind but due to an unexpected weather emergency they’re back online. After dealing with the immediate crisis the four bots- Staybehind, Sweetie, Cayenne, and Hands- are at a loss for what their next […]

It’s Questin’ Time!

Through Gates Of Garnet And Gold by Seanan McGuire

See you later Eleanor, Nancy’s back and we’re all going on a quest! It’ll be great. After all, how dangerous could the Halls of the Dead be for a gang of living teens? That’s right kids, Nancy’s back! Nancy’s been perfecting her standing stillness as a living statue in the Halls of the Dead since her Door reappeared way back in book three. She is still very sure that she’s where she’s meant to be. However the unquiet dead are suddenly on the rampage and […]

XOXO Tiffin Academy

The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham

by Leave a Comment

Spending a year at a prestigious New England boarding school would have been the dream of little high school me. Teaching for a year at a prestigious New England boarding school probably sounds a little bit more like a nightmare. It’s move-in day at Tiffin Academy. As the students return it is also the same day that school rankings are published. Amazingly Tiffin has made a seventeen spot jump to number two in the country. Take that Phillips Exeter! Just as everyone begins getting comfortable […]

Watch The Shadows

Book Of Night by Holly Black

Thief Of Night by Holly Black

by Leave a Comment

For my birthday this year I decided to read both books in the Charlatan Duology, Holly Black’s Book Of Night and Thief Of Night. I’m a lucky, lucky little shadow creature. Charlie Hall is a (mostly) former con-artist trying to go straight and send her little sister to college. She used to be the Charlatan, an intriguingly effective thief willing to work in the world of shadow magicians.  With just a little blood and a lot of trauma you too can waken your shadow for […]

Hooray for Magical Talking Plants

The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst

by Leave a Comment

What do you call a bee that’s been put under a spell? Bee-witched! Be kind, you can’t expect a magical talking rose who just woke up from a long enchanted sleep to be instantly ready for a comedy special. In which we get to meet Caz’s mom! Once upon a time a lonely little librarian named Terlu Perna cast a forbidden magic spell to create a friend (Caz the spider plant whose story was told in The Spellshop). Her punishment was to be permanently transformed […]

Asil the Great and Powerful

Blind Date with A Werewolf by Patricia Briggs

by Leave a Comment

In which we find out what happens when the most legendary (in his own mind) werewolf in all the land is set up on a series of blind dates. Asil is perfectly content living a reclusive life tending to his flowers. When a Concerned Friend sends him an e-mail informing him that he has been set up on five dates through various websites over the next three weeks, Asil takes it in stride. Who wouldn’t want to spend a delightful evening with all of his […]
