Review: After the End by Amy Plum

First thanks to HarperTeen and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  Now I’ve only read the first book in Amy Plum’s other series, Die For Me, but I did really like it.  So, when I saw this available on Edelweiss, I decided to request it.  This wasn’t too bad.  I […]

A to Z April – H: Historical Fiction

So yesterday I discussed a quick list of “all” of the genres of book that there are, or that I mainly read from or think about.  Today I am going to talk about one that is often my favorite, historical fiction.  While I wouldn’t say that I read a lot of historical fiction titles, the […]
