New Author Theme: Sarah Monette (Meghan)

I have been getting a friend of mine from work to read a TON of my favorite books. First I had her read Gregory Maguire’s Wicked (February’s book I see, yay!), and then I got her hook onto Laurell K. Hamilton. She decided to return the favor just in time for January’s theme and gave [...]

New Author Theme: Brandon Mull (Amanda)

For January’s New Author’s theme month I read Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. I picked up this book a long time ago, I think because the name sounded cool and it had a shiny cover. :) I read it this month because it looked short enough, and easy enough to get it done quickly, to be [...]

New Author Theme: Meg Cabot (Joni)

I love trying out new authors so this was a fun theme for me.  The author I picked is Meg Cabot.  I know she’s been around for ages and has published many, many books but I’ve never read one until now.
The book I chose to review is The Boy Next Door, by Meg Cabot, which [...]
