The science she writes about is always an integral part of the story and the characters […]
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 […]

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the Gracing Realm series by Kristin Cashore. Bitterblue in particular is a favorite character of mine throughout the series and so I was so happy to see that Winterkeep is another story that involves Bitterblue, years after she became the Queen. It is time to explore an entire new land […]
Let me just start by saying Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman…you dirty bastards! How could you end the story right there??? How??? It is so cliffy, it is like ending on that time when Jean Luc Picard became borg or the viewers saw Buffy the Vampire slayers tombstone or like 8 different times on LOST. […]
