Bite-Sized Reviews: Crash Land on Kurai, The Star-Touched Queen and Death’s Queen

I’ve got three bite-sized reviews today—one for a book I loved and two for disappointing reads. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! This book is a spin-off of Pajonas’s Nojiku Series, but you don’t have to read that first series to appreciate it. In fact, I have to confess that I’m horrible with remembering details of books I read long ago and I was struggling to remember all […]

Scythe Review: AKA An Ode to Neal Shusterman

How has the entire world not recognized Neal Shusterman’s genius? Seriously, I am SO hoping that the Unwind movie comes out (I haven’t seen any news since May!!) and that it does the series justice because people need to talk about his books more. Scythe is one more example of Shusterman’s talent and imagination and his ability to shed light on humanity’s moral triumphs and shortcomings. Once again, he takes a look at a dystopian […]

The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid – Review & Giveaway

My 14-year-old son and I had the pleasure of attending a pre-pub dinner with S.J.

Bite-Sized Audiobook Reviews–Momotaro: Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters & Abducted: Escape From Kraile

Hopefully these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters by […]
