by Leave a Comment

I have read It Began with a Page: How Gyo Fujikawa Drew the Way before. However, I had forgotten what a gem Kyo Maclear’s story was. Therefore, it was like finding it all over again.

Come experience me

You Are the Loveliest by The Hagens

by Leave a Comment

I really cannot say more about You Are the Loveliest than what the publisher said.

Wild Seed

Wild Seed by Octavia Butler

by Leave a Comment

When I first read this book and series, I read them in chronological order. This time around I more or less read them in publication order, though I think this book came out before Clay's Ark, and I just read that. Regardless, I do remember spending a lot of time and energy in my first reading of … [Read more]
