I just finished The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe. I was intrigued when I first read about this book. I knew she was a good writer after I had read her first book The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. I had high expectations for her follow-up. I was not let down. In…

Anyone addicted to reading…please stand up
I confess…I am a book addict. I love to read. It actually seems that I have developed more of an addiction more recently. I now am reading 2-3 books at a time. You may be wondering how are you reading so many at once. Well, when you have acquired a new taste for audio books…
Review: Enraptured (Eternal Guardians #4) by Elisabeth Naughton
As a follow-up to my author profile of Elisabeth Naughton, I am reviewing her newest book in her Eternal Guardians series Enraptured. This one follows Orpheus. Orpheus, half-Argonaut and half-daemon, is the newest of the Guardians and a very reluctant one at that. This story follows Orpheus after his brother Gryphon loses his soul and his body is captured…

Movies vs. TV
I have been away from my blog for a while. That is partially due to the amount of new books that came out in late March and April and just life in general getting in the way. So, I figured I would divert a little from books and talk movies and tv. I have noticed…
Hunger Games Before Movie vs. Hunger Games After Movie (part 2)
******Possible Spoilers****** A week ago I posted my inaugural blog about the Hunger Games trilogy. This was leading up to the release of the movie this week. I saw the move yesterday and I am happy to say that it will not disappoint. I am always weary of movies made from books I really like. …
Reading…Does it really matter what?
I have noticed through a lot of the media that they are really coming down hard on certain types of books and the stereotypical people who read them. These books tend to be on the romantic side and some have sexual undertones. My question is does it really matter what your reading as long as your…
Review: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
I just finished listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain. This book was recommended to me by a friend who is an English teacher. I thought well she couldn’t be wrong since she is teaching the English language for a living. She wasn’t wrong, but I think I would have liked this book…
