Random Things About Me

If You Even Care to Know...

My friend, Erin, across the Pond at wrathsqueen.com, nominated me for an Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. Apparently, she doesn’t know me that well, but hey, I can go with it. Particularly since there’s a luscious, virtual strawberry cake involved. Now that I’ve finished it off, I’m turning my sticky fingers to my keyboard to FOLLOW THE RULES: Post my own 7 Random Facts About Myself and nominate 10 others. Here they are… Continue reading

Book Review: The Girl of Fire and Thorns

By Rae Carson

I loved Unearthly (Hand) and The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Carson) so much, that it left me anxious about my next reading choice. Ever get that way? Thinking, “How can it possibly live up to…”? I’m so happy both that both books have sequels coming down the pike, and the sequel to TGOFAT (you gotta love the acronym Go-Fat, it’s almost as good as River of Times’s RoT) probably is my #1 anticipated 2012 read. Continue reading

Book Review: Unearthly

By Cynthia Hand

Wow. I’ve been reluctant to read in the angel genre because of my own interpretation of Scripture. But I loved this book. LOVED. It made me want to dive back into the Bible to see what it says about the Nephilim, but I took what Hand wrote and went with it, suspending disbelief (the major factor in any fantasy novel) and the result is that I cannot WAIT for book 2, Hallowed, due mid-January. So much so, I’ve preordered it. Seriously, people, this was a perfect escapist YA read. So much entertainment as well as thought-provoking turns and heart-wrenching romance… Continue reading
