This book almost flew under my radar, and I am so glad that it was brought to my attention. It’s hard for a post-apocalyptic book to make it on my crowded reading list in this somewhat saturated market, but the plot and pacing of The Fire Sermon drew me into its brutal and interesting story. […]

Review + Giveaway: Stone Rider By David Hofmeyr
I don’t usually pay too much attention to the comparisons that publishers make when describing books, but in the case of Stone Rider, Mad Max meets The Road is a very accurate description. With a bare bones narrative style, Stone Rider tells the story of three riders who take on a no holds barred race […]
Ex Libris Audio: End Of Days
I thought I was done with angels until I came across this series, and so I was sad that it was coming to an end a few books earlier than I originally thought. However, End Of Days did not disappoint. Penryn’s quest was first to survive, then became a search for her sister, and […]
The Island Of Excess Love By Francesca Lia Block
The first book, Love in the Time of Global Warming, was a loose retelling of the Odyssey, and in The Island of Excess Love, we take a journey that somewhat follows The Aeneid. I am not as familiar with the Aeneid, so I can tell you that if you have never […]
Red Queen By Victoria Aveyard
I am always a little more forgiving of first books in a series because there have been some series that didn’t entirely grab me at first, but that really came into their own in the second and third installments. This is the situation I found myself in when reading Red Queen. The world of […]
Dead Of Winter By Kresley Cole
Although this really isn’t my typical reading, The Arcana Chronicles has been a series that I am surprised, and pleased, to say that I really enjoy. After the cliffie at the end of book two, I was eager to dive in and see what terrible things Evie and the gang would have to endure. Spoiler […]

Vivian Apple At The End Of The World By Katie Coyle
When I was at the Texas Library Association convention last year, I asked the rep at the HMH booth which book she was most excited about and she handed me Vivian Apple. I thought it was going to be another YA contemporary about a teen questioning her faith, and perhaps there was an […]
The Forever Song By Julie Kagawa
The heart-wrenching ending of book two made me very anxious to read the final installment in this bleak vampire series. The teacher and his two students are forced on a journey to stop Sarren, who puts the psycho in psychopath, even for a vampire. The journey starts out as you would expect, […]
Into The Still Blue By Veronica Rossi
When I first picked up Under The Never Sky, I admit that I wasn’t expecting enjoy it as much as I did. I confess that to you now because I have totally and completely changed my mind about this series. It has become one that I recommend to readers of all ages. Into The […]
