Me and My Love Affair With the Library

Summer Reading, HERE I COME!!!!!

I am already taking full advantage of my time to read and have started posting my reviews of recently read books below (a tradition I hope to continue here on the blog).

All is well here on the East Coast - Kev and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. More to follow.
The Hourglass Door The Hourglass Door by Lisa Mangum


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ooooooh...loved this one. Very Twilight-esque. Great romance, fun fantasy, good plotline and interesting characters. Pretty much inhaled it from start to finish. I can't believe I have to wait until next summer for her to publish the next book! (What is it with me and series'?!)

Wildwood Dancing Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fun retelling of the "Dancing Princesses" fairytale. A little slow because she digs so deep into Romanian/Transylvanian history, but that gives it a really authentic feel you don't find in most books.

Looking Glass Wars book review

The Looking Glass Wars (Book 1) The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is Alice in Wonderland turned on it's head! The Mad Hatter is really Hatter Madigan, bodygaurd extraodinaire, the Cheshire Cat - a deadly assassin, and looking glasses become a true method of travel. Fun, quick paced and action packed - can't wait to read the next one in the series.
