The Piper’s Son by Melina Marchetta | It Wasn’t What I Expected
Melina Marchetta once blew me away with her fantasy series, the Lumatere Chronicles. And her style hasn’t changed much, which I greatly appreciate because I loved those books.

The Best Strategy for Outlining a Story

Beauty of the Beast by Rachel L. Demeter: Hit or Miss?
Beauty of the Beast is such an interesting retelling, I’ll give it that. I have to agree with many others in their opinion that it IS kind of a mix between Beauty and the Beast + Phantom of the Opera. It was beautiful and haunting in that way. The writing is both its strenght and […]

Why Book Blogging Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means
When we think about book blogging, for most of us, that immediately equals book reviews, blog tours, ARCs and interviews with authors, it also means discussions, and tags, and having a currently reading section on our sidebar, and tapping into bookstagramming… But we’re all wrong.

Happy Endings vs Satisfying and Lyrical Open Endings
To begin this post, I want to make it clear that it’s entirely possible for a story’s ending to be both -a happy one, and incredibly aesthetically pleasing to read because it’s all thoughtful and lyrical.
