This was my next audiobook download from the library.  While I didn’t love it as much as I loved Rule, I’m still really in love with this whole series, and getting even more excited to get to meet the author at the NOLA Story Con in September!  For the most part, all of my problems, […]

This was the next audiobook I chose to listen to.  I had owned a copy of the book, but traded it for something I couldn’t wait for awhile back.  So I had to borrow the audiobook from my public library.  It was a pretty good story. The narrator did a good job with different voices […]

Thanks to HarperCollins Children’s Books and Epic Reads, I won this ARC from a contest in the Shelf Awareness email newsletter.  I haven’t read a lot of Neil Gaiman books, American Gods was one that I read and did really like though.  So I knew that I was interested in this.  The really cool thing […]

Well, when I finished this book I have to say my opinion improved. I still like Hunger Games better though. The book starts out with the man Jack who has just killed a mother, father, and child, and is looking for the baby of the family to finish the job. Somehow the baby crawls out […]
