November was a little slow… I think it was because of all of my school preparations I was doing.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction with a little fantasy Age Recommended: 12 and up This story was a little creepy at times but overall it was great. It was set in the time of WWII and I really liked that the author combined the idea of witchcraft with WWII, making it seem as if they were related. Read below to see my interview of the author, Lisa Goldstein. — WWII has begun. Kicsi is a young girl who lives in a rural village. One night, a man named Voros comes to her village, and speaks of death and … Continue reading Book Review and Interview with Author: The Red Magician by Lisa Goldstein
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 13 and up “Love was supposed to be easy, wasn’t it?” I think that Fallen’s plot was a little better than Torment’s. This book had too many new characters and the story became hard to follow. Also, if you haven’t read the book review of Fallen (book one of the Fallen series), you can check it out here: https://priyankareads.com/2014/10/20/book-review-fallen-by-lauren-kate/ —————————————————— Luce is now at a new school. This one looks rather friendly and the students there seem decent too. Daniel visits Luce, breaking the rules, and tells her that her two … Continue reading Book Review: Torment by Lauren Kate (Book two of the Fallen series)
Hi! I recently joined the Every Breath blog tour and along with receiving a hardcover copy of the book (courtesy of Tundra Books), I also got to interview Ellie Marney! These are my questions for her, along with her answers: Q: What inspired you to start writing? A: Just the normal thing, I guess, and a very overactive imagination. I was always one of those kids who was genuinely convinced that teddy bears came alive at night when everyone else was asleep, and that fairies lived at the bottom of the garden. My paternal grandmother had a store of Irish folk tales … Continue reading Blog Tour: Every Breath by Ellie Marney
