Review – Harry Potter, The Character’s Vault
So. Obviously this is a beautiful book that I’m more than glad to add to my (overflowing) Harry Potter shelf. My only problem with it is that I already knew about 70% of what was in there. Actually, I feel as though they regurgitated info from the big Page to Screen book (that is over…
Book Review – Locke and Key by Joe Hill
I read the 6 Locke and Key volumes over the span of 2-3 months, because I bought them one at a time. This series is definitely amongst my favorites along with SAGA in the realm of graphic novels and Trade paperbacks. The story was complex and mysterious without being all over the place and…
Book Review – Y The Last Man by Brian K Vaughn
Before I start this review, I might want to mention that I binged read the 10 volumes in about 5 days. I do think that the experience or the appreciation of a series can vary whether you read it over a longer span of time, with other books in between, or all at once without…
Top 5 Wednesday – Books you wanted to read yesterday
I haven’t posted a review in 1 month. I’ve been reading big fat sequels so 1- my reading challenge isn’t going really well and 2- I can’t really review them without spoiling (the Oulander series, I’m on An Echo in the Bone right now), and 3-I’ve been lazy. I thought that participating in this Top…

Book Review – Asleep Into the Darkness
The author K.F. Zacharias was kind enough to contact me and offer me an ebook copy of her first novel called Asleep into the Darkness, the first one in the Sleeping Beauty Begins trilogy. I was curious about this retelling of Sleeping Beauty, especially because a few weeks prior, I watched Maleficent, the new Disney version…

Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira Like a lot of people, I was really excited about this book. The premise is that Laurel is in high school and she get assigned the writing of a letter to a dead person for her English class. What she ends up doing is writing a lot more than…

Wanderlust and Books
We all know that books have the power to take us anywhere; give us real emotions from their fictional worlds, but also letting us travel to destinations we never have physically been to.Some places are so inviting and such an important part of the story that we feel a pull to go there, whether it…
Book Review – The Merciless by Danielle Vega
The Merciless by Danielle Vega is the author’s first novel. It was published on June 12th of this year (2014) and its marketed as horror. The book is a bright pink hardcover with a gold pentagram on the cover, no dust jacket and deckle edges. Physically, the book stands out and that’s what made me…
