I’m working my way through T. Kingfishers entire catalog and picked up Sumer in Orcas when it was a kindle deal. I’ve enjoyed every story by her that I have read so far and Summer In Orcas is continuing that trend. A portal fantasy in the same vein as Narnia but with a little extra […]
I chose the series after reading the first book as part of COYER book club. Berls and I are doing our Series in a Month as a buddy read. I enjoyed this short setup for the series. Kill Joy introduces the group of friends as they play a murder mystery type game. Pip isn’t […]
White Cat is a charming, modern tale of love and magic written by one of my favorite young adult writers, Holly Black. The first in The Curse Workers series, it is set in a world where magic is real, but only certain people have the power to use it. The story revolves around a young […]

The series explores the lives of children who don’t really fit into this one and the magical doors that find them. Doors to worlds that fit them better, places they can be themselves whatever that is and […]
I’ve really enjoyed the trilogy for the Arc of a Scythe series. It is necessary to read these books in order. I do think the most pleasure from these stories comes from knowing the characters from reading the trilogy already. There are many moral issues involved from immortality to artificial intelligence.

The Luminaries is the first book in The Luminaries; it started as an experiment on twitter where the audience got to direct some of the choices the heroine made and then was converted into a novel.
