The Reader was such a wonderful, magical book that I wanted to be a stop in the ReReader campaign, so I could talk a little bit more about why I loved this book!  In just a few weeks, The Speaker will be released and I am looking forward to continuing the story.     For […]

Blog Tour: Haven

Blog Tour: Haven

    I have always loved Mary Lindsey’s YA, so I was very excited when I heard about Haven.  The books starts when Rain, who lives life in the margins, loses his mom and is shipped off to live with his aunt in a small Texas town.  (Honestly, anything set in a small Texas town […]

Blog Tour: Haunting The Deep

Blog Tour: Haunting The Deep

I enjoyed How to Hang a Witch and its blending of family drama and history.  In Haunting the Deep, I think the same feel was achieved, but this time it was a different ancestor of Samantha’s that was involved.  Instead of witch trials, everything at the high school seems to be trying to bring the […]

Ex Libris Romance (78)

Ex Libris Audio: The Great Hunt

Ex Libris Audio: The Great Hunt

One of my favorite Child Ballads is The Two Sisters, a story about jealousy that ends in one sister murdering the other and subsequently getting busted by a harp made from her sister’s bones.  (No, really.)  The Great Hunt is very loosely based on the dude version of this ballad, and the two stories are […]

Blog Tour: Wonder Woman: Warbringer

Blog Tour: Wonder Woman: Warbringer

I know I date myself by writing this, but my introduction to Wonder Woman was the show starring Linda Carter in the 1980s.  I would lasso my brother hoping to get the truth (it didn’t work) and spin in circles hoping my clothes would change.  Watching the show now, it can be painful in its […]

Blog Tour: Odd & True

Blog Tour: Odd & True

Odd & Tru is my first Cat Winters book and I was enchanted and entertained by every page.  The non-linear timeline and the dual narrators gave the book the feel of a fabulous puzzle that slowly pieced itself together. At the heart of Odd & True is the relationship between Trudchen and Odette, sisters who […]
