I said to myself this weekend: What did I do to log myself out of my Simon and Schuster account of free ebooks? Of course, who knows what the password is as it is the only one that I have not put on my list of passwords (hiding in my hidden spot). So, what is a poor girl to do? Go old school with wonderful and amazing in your hand reader copies! Book one was Book Buddies V01 Ivy Lost and Found created by Cynthia […]

Did you know that there is such a thing as Mongolian Death Worms? Well, at least in this book

The Very True Legend of the Mongolian Death Worms by Sandra Fay

by Leave a Comment

I did not dig this book on worms. Or more specifically Mongolian Death Worms, as the title, The Very True Legend of the Mongolian Death Worms tells us. It is a bit cliché, and the “be friends with the odd-looking neighbors” has been done before. And the illustrations were so not my style; with the uncooked hotdog look, the fluffs of hair all over, bugged out eyes and teeth that are a lot sharper looking than “not so sharp.” With that said, I know several […]

I love you in my own special way

A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Perfect Valentine by Amy Young

by Leave a Comment

I am not usually a big fan of Sparkle and Lucy, but there was something about A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Perfect Valentine that “got me.” And I do not know how Amy Young did it, but they made me like Valentines Day. They made me want to make Valentines for all my friends right now and not wait until February. However, I do not want to make them in the special way Lucy makes hers (or not just the way she does them), […]

A perfect draw that’s enticed me to read the first novel

A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djèlí Clark

by 5 Comments

This is such an interesting place to start this series! It was very obviously written prior to the publication of the first true “novel” in the series (A Master of Djinn) but very much feels like the sort of novella you read after you’ve finished the main book and are just desperate for more content in the same universe. A number of my friends enjoyed The Daevabad Trilogy, but I unfortunately found the first book lacking some of that ‘draw’ that makes you want to quickly read […]

The first book in a series without much resolution, but a very strong start

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

by 2 Comments

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse is told through four points of view throughout the novel with some flashbacks here and there. Serapio is a member of the Carrion Crow nation who has been prepared by his mother to be the religious leader of their nation.

Xiala is a ship captain and a […]
