The Secret of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien

5 stars I vaguely remember watching the movie when I was little (and being utterly terrified). I always wanted to read the book (but was probably too scared) and I am so glad I finally got around to it. This was such a fantastic read. This was one of those books that when you are…

Snow White: A Graphic Novel by Matt Phelan

5 stars I received a copy of this graphic novel through Book Riot.I think “Snow White” as a story is horribly creepy, so I am usually pretty hesitant about retellings. But this book is everything graphic novels should be.First of all, the artwork is simply beautiful. I loved the minimal color usage in the beginning….

But it just doesn’t feel developed enough. A lot happens, but everything feels disconnected. The shifting narrators…

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

5 stars I absolutely loved this book! I read this rather quickly as I had jury duty and had plenty of time to read. I was also able to read it quickly, because it is a hard book to put down. I did not want to stop reading. I read it during waiting periods and…

Grey Matters by Rachel DeFriez

4 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. I really loved the concept of this book. I wasn’t a huge fan of all the romance and high school drama elements (We get it, Evelyn, you love your darn hair.), but the origin of the zombie virus…

Mommywood by Tori Spelling

2 stars So I don’t really know that much about Tori Spelling, but I saw this in The Little Free Lending Library and thought I’d give it a try. Overall, it was okay. There are funny parts, there are annoying parts. It seemed a little rushed to me and filled with allusions to the same…
