SUPER SPOILERS. here goes. honestly, i read this out of necessity. almost. sort of. the truth is, for my children's lit class i'm required to read something that's by an award-winning author. and from the get-go, there was a library hunt assignme...

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis

it probably doesn't matter what edition i have up here. there are probably a million different editions out there, and so i'll just stick with the first thing i find that's not the movie tie-in. anyway, with this book it wasn't so much a matter o...

so i finally took the chance to finish this book, which i was about four chapters away from finishing this summer, because i caught the flu and was limited to staying in bed last weekend. i can't say as to what took me so long to finish; part of ...

Alanna: The First Adventure, Tamora Pierce

i decided to read this, or rather, to borrow this from the library because someone made a comment in passing that this was a good book, and that someone's opinion was something i could trust. the cover gave me a slight bit of pause, and the summa...

i will start this off by saying that having read "the hero and the crown" and "the blue sword" both, i felt i had a taste of what this author has to offer in her earlier style of writing. i guess the main problem in that little conclusion is that...

The Hero and the Crown, Robin McKinley

nobody@vox.com(Kit) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:26:00 -0400

this is a prequel to the book "the blue sword," but written and published after, which is the main reason i picked this up to read. i enjoyed the adventures of harry considerably, and figured that having a prequel about the legendary hero mention...

EDIT: to be fair, i do know i was overly harsh in this little rant here. it's just so hard not to be, when i was expecting so much.. and the characters keep changing faces on me, which frustrates me beyond belief and seems to be for no other purp...

to be honest, i'm not even really completely sure why i decided to start reading this book. aside from hearty blurbs from kim harrison and vicki pettersson, there was no other real reason, i guess; the plot sounded somewhat cliched and cheesy, an...

Succubus Heat, Richelle Mead

so, i wanted to start off by saying that something seriously kept me from logging this, and i have no idea what it was. laziness? suddenly learning how to copy wii games? who knows. but in any case, i guess i mostly just wanted a break from readi...

Steal the Dragon, Patricia Briggs

i already had a copy of this lying in my TBR list, but didn't want to damage my own copy with any wear and tear, so instead borrowed a copy from the library instead. the cover of the library copy is a lot more updated and colorful, so it probably...
