Now that my living room is free of boxes (please notice, I didn't say the whole house), I am getting back into my regular routine. Next week, I will be posting my review of Emma by Jane Austen.

Apocalypse Babes
Review of the Z-Word by Bella Street I really wish I had picked up this novel before I went on winter break so I could have read more in this ingenious six book series. As it is, I am committed to reading at least five novels before I can get back to it. I would … Continue reading Apocalypse Babes
The One I Was Supposed To Read…
Confession time. There was one Jane Austen novel that I was supposed to read in high school; Northanger Abbey. My English teacher suggested that for my senior research paper that I read it and compare it the Mysteries of Udolpho, which I was supposed to read as well. I did read that one, just didn't … Continue reading The One I Was Supposed To Read…
Sense and Sensibility without Sea Monsters
As my first unabridged, non-zombie version of a Jane Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility has taken a firm hold of my mind. It didn't let go last night until around 1:30 in the morning.

Ties That Bind (A Madison Knight Novel) Review
It took me a while to accept that I am indeed a mystery novel fan. I really couldn't go on denying it after ripping through it this mystery by Carolyn Arnold. Her police detective Madison Knight is a fan of Hershey bars and working herself to the bone. Like all good protagonists these days, she … Continue reading Ties That Bind (A Madison Knight Novel) Review

Mini Review of Girl Genius – Book 1
A couple of weeks ago, I sent message out into the dark realms seeking some book recommendations in the Steampunk genre. The universe yielded two results; one of which is this week’s review.
