I just finished my reread of Lord of Shadows fifteen minutes ago and I scurried to get out the laptop because everything is so fresh in my mind. People ask me all the time what my ultimate favorite book is and honestly I can read all the big classics and the “must read before you die” books but honestly I think these books, this series, the sub-series and the whole chronicles collection are my favorite. As I’m rereading The Dark Artifices, I am falling in love with this fictional world […]
I was bored and I was looking at the free Apple Books when I found The Canterville Ghost. It sounded interesting and it was quite short! I don’t usually read short stories out of the blue like this. I am typically a strict 300pagesisconsideredashortbook typa gal. The Canterville Ghost may be a short read but I think she’s worth it! Some Details Paperback, 72 pages Published October 31st 2019 by Daunt Books (first published February 23rd 1887) Genres: Classics, Fiction, Short Stories, Fantasy, Humour. Synopsis This is Oscar Wilde’s tale of the […]
Just last week I ordered the paperback box set of The Dark Artifices. Sure, I do already have a hardcover first edition of Queen of Air and Darkness but I read Lady Midnight and Lord of Shadows as library books because I knew when the time came I would buy the paperback editions because i just love the spine art they make together and I already have the paperback box sets for The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices and I would really like it if all my books matched formats. Anyway, […]
The Darkest Minds was a series I had never even heard of until the day I was bored and decided to watch that god awful movie adaptation where Amandla Stenberg is put into clothes four times smaller than her size. That day still bring me shivers at night. Although I thought the idea of the movie was really interesting and I felt like they had just played it wrong on screen. I did some research and found a trilogy? I had no idea at all these books existed and I was […]
I am always loosing my mom at the grocery store. When this happens, I always go for a stroll to the book section of any bookstore in hopes that she’ll think I’m there and also because I want to see what’s in stock. For some reason, grocery store books are always on some 30% deal whichever store I go to but that same book is selling full price at Chapters. This is still something I’ve got to figure out but for now I will enjoy my discounted hardcover of Where […]
A couple weeks ago I was browsing free ebooks on my phone and landed on Frankenstein. Although I’ve obviously heard of Frankenstein I have never read it nor did I think I would want to read it, since the premise of the novel did not seem to my great interest. But I can affirm that I was surprisingly mistaken and I am happy I gave this one a chance. Some Details Author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Original title: Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus Published: January 1, 1818 (this edition: March […]
Four years ago I walked into my local chapters waiting to get picked up after a day of shopping excursions with some friends. As I roamed the stacks of books aimlessly – since I wasn’t that big of a bookie and usually relied on the box sets my parents chose for me as Christmas presents – I was very ill informed on the big books of the literary world. But there, in this amazing section of the store; Young Adult Fiction, I almost knocked over this big cardboard box filled […]
