The Wake Trilogy by Lisa McMann

I’ve walked past these books in the teen section at the bookstore I work at for years. The covers always drew me in, and I did pick them up, and thought they sounded interesting, but just never got around to reading them. I once again have the Nook checked out from work, and so, decided […]

Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri

I’m a bit behind on my blogging, teaching two online classes and no snow days last week left me kinda too busy to blog. I promised myself if I actually got a snow day this week, I’d get my book blogged. And I have two to blog about, but I’ll just do this one today, […]

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

I almost forgot to blog about this one! I checked out the Nook from the bookstore again, and since I get to keep it for 2 weeks, I’m going to try to burn through as many YA books that I know I don’t need to buy, but want to read as quick as I can. […]

Mini-Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella/Nook Review

This blog will serve as two reviews. Since I read Mini-Shopaholic while I was borrowing a Nook from the bookstore, I will review both at once. Our main character Becky is back. This time she has a two year old daughter named Minnie, who seems to be a terror. She’s gotten them kicked out of […]
