by Kiersten White (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
Didn't realize how much I had missed Evie! The tone is pitch-perfect throughout and excellent pacing, too. Definitely enough action, romance and humour to keep you reading. Definitely recommend this series to younger paranormal romance readers (like,...more

by Maureen Johnson (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013

Quite liked this sequel, but felt that there were some pacing problems for me, personally. There were different threads that I thought showed up late and could have been woven better throughout the book. Listened to this on audiobook and quite liked...more

Who Could That Be At This Hour? by Lemony Snicket
Kat rated a book 3 of 5 stars
Prophecy by Ellen Oh
This was an interesting fantasy steeped in Korean folklore and mythology. Aspects of it were predictable, but it was a fun ride anyway. A solid feminist novel with poc main character.

Reached (Matched, #3)
by Ally Condie (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013

I kept waiting for this series to live up to the phenomenal covers but it never did. Alas. Found the world building quite weak and the characters unconvincing. For a book that was supposed to center around romance, you really didn't get very much of...more

Lewis Carroll
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Lemony Snicket
“Well-read people are less likely to be evil.”

Lewis Carroll
“She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).”
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

Audrey Niffenegger
“How does it feel?
I feels exactly like one of those dreams in which you suddenly realize that you have to take a test you haven't studied for and you aren't wearing any clothes. And you've left your wallet at home.
When I am out there, in time, I am inverted, changed into a desperate version of myself. I become a thief, a vagrant, an animal who runs and hides. I startle old women and amaze children. I am a trick, an illusion of the highest order, so incredible that I am actually true.”
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
