As usual I will begin my review with thanks to both Netgalley as well as Bloomsbury USA Children’s Books for allowing me to read this as an e-galley. I was unsure on whether to give this book a 4 or 5 on Goodreads, but I ended up rounding up, as this book had so many […]
I will start by thanking Netgalley and Flux Books for allowing me to read an e-galley of this. I also got to read the first in the series, Ripper, as an e-galley. I was very into the first book because it was supposedly about Jack the Ripper which is a subject that has always fascinated […]
Oops, remember how I said I was only going to do one giveaway hop a month? Guess I signed up for this and forgot about it! Oh well, it’s kind of a fun one, but since I did $20 on the last one, and then one of my giveaways before I’m still waiting for the […]
Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Pen to Paper Blog, in which feature a book we can’t wait to get off of our wish list and onto our shelves! I normally participate in Waiting on Wednesday sponsored by Jill at Breaking the Spine, but she doesn’t seem to have one posted for this […]
You know how sometimes I’ve talked about how the 2nd book in a series is slow and hard to get through? Not true in any way, shape, or form for this book!! I was sucked right back in! I just love Gabrielle Zevin’s writing style I guess! And of course, if you haven’t read the […]
Can I just say, WOW? Why in the world have I waited so long to read yet another ARC that was sitting on my shelf since before it was published? I mean this came out in September 2011, so I got the ARC before then, and it sat on my shelf. I’d only wanted it […]
When I first heard about this book through the Shelf Awareness email newsletter, I was instantly intrigued. As someone who has worked in a bookstore since 2000, I had often talked with other booksellers about the crazy things our customers did and said. Some annoying, some just way out there. So I had to buy […]
I finally got around to reading this!! It’s been so long since I read Divergent, in fact it’s been since April of 2011!! I tried so hard last year to win an ARC, because I’d gotten to read Divergent as an ARC. And then I didn’t get to meet the author at BEA, and I […]
Again, thanks to Scholastic and Netgalley for letting me read this egalley in the fall of 2012. I have to say I really liked this one! I’m not always sure about books that are about witches. Sometimes it is too hokey or I just can’t get into the story. But this book was really good! […]
So I think I’m going to try to participate in one hop a month that is sponsored by Kathy at I Am a Reader, Not a Writer. And the co-sponsor of this hop is Jinky is Reading. And this month I’ve chosen the Leap Into Books giveaway, because as a teacher, I like the idea […]
