In Fabula-divino by Nicole Murphy
" Nicole Murphy has done a fantastic job as editor of this anthology. I felt that each story was strong and true to it's theme whether funny, tragic, emotional, etc. I haven't read any of Nicole's novels yet, but I certainly intend to now.

I've defin... " Read more of this review »

The Diviners by Libba Bray
The Diviners (The Diviners, #1)
by Libba Bray (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
Never have I ever read a novel that was both quite so enjoyable and in quite such a need of editing. That's not to say that there was anything wrong with the writing, I really enjoy Libba Bray's style, but it was too long, in a way where I feel like...more

Avalon High by Meg Cabot
Avalon High
by Meg Cabot (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
Without fail, Meg Cabot writes incredibly kickass teen heroines. They always control the narrative and the action even when, as is the case in this story, it seems unlikely given the heroine's background.

Despite fitting their necessarily...more

This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel
I really can't decide my own opinion of this book.

Oppel's writing is beautiful and quite hypnotic. The premise is interesting (a look into Frankenstein's teen years) and Oppel follows through with the concept really well. We get insight into Victor F...more

How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
Fantastic! This book had me grinning from ear to ear throughout the entire adventure.

Though the plot is very different from the film adaptation of the same name, the original How to Train your Dragon is clearly the source for the lovely David vs Goli...more

The Last City by Nina D'Aleo
The Last City
by Nina D'Aleo (Goodreads Author)
read in February, 2013
The Last City is an intense combination of fantasy and sci-fi with a touch of noir. I have never read anything quite like it.

I will admit that the combination of genres made it initially a little difficult to get my head into the story, but D’Aleo’s...more
