Gladiatrix by Russell Whitfield
When I found this book and read the plot summary, my first thought was “Holy crap! It’s like Spartacus/Gladiator for girls!” Awesome! Since Spartacus is one of my favourite TV shows and Gladiator is an epic film, I had high hopes for this book. But […]
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Plot Summary My review After hearing all the rave reviews, I actually thought I would love this book more than I did. I still really enjoyed the book (hence the four stars), I just wasn’t “Z0MG CRAZY” about it. I suppose my biggest gripe is […]
Is Anyone Else Not Into eBooks?
I guess I should begin by saying I totally understand why people are into eBooks. Having all your books digitally stored on one small device is fabulous for travelling, it’s nice having all your books in your pocket when you’re on the go, and it’s […]

You have no idea how much it pains me to write this review. This is the book I was looking forward to. The one that made me squeal like an excited 6 year old when it arrived in the mail. People raved about it (it […]
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Plot Summary My Review Note: If I could give this book 3.5 stars, I probably would. But I’m trying to stay away from half stars and fractions, so I’m going with 4 stars. I whipped through this book practically in one sitting! It was actually […]
The Perfect Cover (1) – The Selection
I’ve always judged books by their cover. I know people might not like that, but I honestly just can’t help it. Although in my defense, it has worked out quite well for me thusfar. My first perfect cover is The Selection By Kiera Cass. I […]
The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan
Plot Summary My Review Rick Riordan.. that guy has an amazing way of making characters come to life. Like the first book in the series — The Red Pyramid — the chapters alternate between two different points of view: Sadie’s and Carter’s. They both have […]
