Hush, Hush

by Becca Fitzpatrick
- Rated 3 stars
“I picked this book up because it has a gorgeous cover. The story turned out to be pretty predictable and cliche though and I thought Patch was a bit of a jerk. Still not sure why the book is called Hush, Hush...”

Banewreaker

by Jacqueline Carey
- Rated 3 stars
“There were definitely some conspicuous similarities with Lord of the Rings -- even the world was reminiscent of Middle-Earth. Nonetheless, Jacqueline Carey still manages to create a vivid and intriguing story. It's a bit like hearing a story from the 'misunderstood' side and I love it. Cerelinde is annoying, but there are some great characters. Off to read the sequel!”

Kushiel's Avatar

by Jacqueline Carey
- Rated 4 stars
“I feel like I have been reading this for ages. I must have started over a year ago! Truth be told, it was quite slow in the beginning and this is what accounted for my not being able to continue. The second time around, I sped through the beginning and realized that it gets so much more exciting after that! I loved the Darsanga scenes. Once you get over the speed bump, the plot of this book is actually much better than that its predecessors. Glad I finished this, though not sure I'm up to tackling the Imriel series just yet.”

“Wow. I loved The Hunger Games but this sequel is all of that and more! One of the best plot-lines I've encountered in a while. I couldn't put this down!”

The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins
- Rated 5 stars
“So good -- I couldn't put this down! Reminded me a lot of Battle Royale, but much, much better in its own way. Great characterization and thrilling plot. Can't wait to read the next installment.”

Once Was Lost

by Sara Zarr
- Rated 3 stars
“Definitely an interesting take on the life of a pastor's kid. At first it seems just downright depressing and makes you really lose faith in many things (especially from a Christian perspective), but by the end I realized that there was a lot to learn from this story. About the ending -- I'll just say that it was a very resolute conclusion.”

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

by Lewis Carroll
- Rated 4 stars
“I really love this book in a I-have-no-idea-what-just-happened kind of way. It's so fantastical and full of randomness -- how can you not love it?”
