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.

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…
