Rapunzel’s Wedding Day

3 stars It has been a while since I read this book, but I remember liking it. It’s a funny misadventure about Max and Pascal running all over town, trying to get the wedding rings back and making a mess. It’s a fun and quick read with an interesting story.

War of the Whales: A True Story by Joshua Horwitz

4 stars It is unfortunate that many of the events this book details took place, however Horwitz does a remarkable job of piecing them all together to create a narrative of the struggles against the use of Navy sonar. Well-written and remarkably detailed, this is truly an outstanding book. It really sucks the reader into…

Paisley Mischief

4 stars I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing inexchange for an honest review. This is a perfect little satirical novel. The loathsome characters and high society facades are reminiscent of The Great Gatsby set in modern New York. I loved the little mysteries and tricks to tie everything up at the end. This was…

Deadly Class, Vol. 1: Reagan Youth by Rick Remender

2 stars I was really excited to finally read this graphic novel, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. Very good idea for a story. A school for assassins seems like a story that promises to be captivating, however the rest of the book just did not reach the same level as the concept….

Dead(ish) by Naomi Kramer

1 star (Free book through Kindle store.)Easily the absolute worst book I have read this year, possibly my entire life. I can’t even fathom how it is possible to write something so absolutely awful.Bad writing. Poor plot development. No character development. I hate writing negative reviews, but there is no way around how poorly put…

Ashes to Ashes and Cinder to Cinder by Cameron Jace

2 stars (Free copy through Kindle store.)I did enjoy this book a little more than the first prequel. The writing style was much more fluid and not so drawn out. As with the first prequel, I enjoyed the retelling of the fairy tale. Jace is very gifted in making connections between fairy tales, folk lore,…
