The Rule of Mirrors was one of my most highly anticipated sequels this year and it did not disappoint! In The Vault of Dreamers, Rosie was a student trying to make it in the Forge school to help her family’s situation, but in The Rule of Mirrors things get much more complicated almost immediately. As […]

Blog Tour: The Rule Of Mirrors
Welcome to the blog tour for The Rule of Mirrors, the second book in The Vault of Dreamers series, which is out TODAY. The Rule Of Mirrors was an exciting and action-packed continuation of a story that gets twistier by the page! I am so thrilled to have Caragh O’Brien on the blog today answering […]
Ten Thousand Skies Above You By Claudia Gray
I am always skeptical going into a second book, perhaps even more so if I really loved the first book. Ten Thousand Skies Above You, much to my delight, provided more twists, more traveling, and more thoughtful romance that I could have hoped for. I’m not sure I have ever read a book with a […]
Ex Libris Audio: Red Rising
There are books that lend themselves well to the audio format, and some that are perhaps better when read. I think that Red Rising falls into the latter category. The extreme details and references to locations (the print version had a map) made me wish I had the book. I found myself vacillating between fascination […]
Ex Libris Audio: The Martian
I could go on for hours and hours about how well Andy Weir captured NASA. The bureaucracy, the passion of the engineers, the disdain the astronauts have for being told what to do…..all of it created a world that, while set in a place where NASA was adequately funded, is still realistic. At its core, […]
Stone In The Sky By Cecil Castellucci
I loved being back on Yertina Feray, and Stone In The Sky was a wonderful continuation of a book I really enjoyed. Once again, the world of the space station, with its multiple alien species and sometime dangerous blending of cultures, formed a world in which I could immerse myself. Tula survived […]
Polaris By Mindee Arnett
Polaris begins as Jeth and his crew are desperately trying to escape the jaws of the ITA, earn some money by selling valuable information, and find Jeth’s mother. Like Avalon, Polaris focuses a lot on Jeth’s determination to save his sisters and his mom. While it doesn’t necessarily shove it in your face, if you […]
A Thousand Pieces Of You By Claudia Gray
I was expecting a straight-up sci-fi story about parallel universes when I started A Thousand Pieces Of You, but what I got was a story that included that, yes, but ended up being so much more, as well. Marguerite comes from one of those quirky scientific families with parents that seem like your typical distracted […]
Review + Giveaway: The Body Electric By Beth Revis
As a big fan of the Across The Universe series, I was very excited with Beth Revis said she would be writing another book set in that world, but on earth. The world building was excellent and I was immediately able to understand the political and environmental changes that had taken place from the 2000s […]
The Taking By Kimberly Derting
We meet Kyra shortly before she disappears for five years, and then after when she wakes up to discover that her whole life has changed without her. The journey she goes on to find out the truth takes her back to old loves, new loves, a new family, and a father whose “crazy” theories […]
