Zone One by Colson Whitehead
This one was SO almost a DNF. (Actually, I probably would have been happier if it had been!) It took me weeks to get through and completely obliterated my chances of meeting my Goodreads goal this year and it’s only … Continue reading

The Fiery Cross (Outlander #5) – Diana Gabaldon
Ugh. I just…I don’t know what to say about these books anymore. It’s so difficult to review these since they’re SO FREAKING HUGE and they don’t necessarily have a theme. So much stuff happens that things that happened in the … Continue reading

Little Women series by Louisa May Alcott
So, I loved this as a little girl, and decided it was time to try it as an adult. I was shocked to find that apparently I’d never actually read the original and instead had just read a VERY abridged … Continue reading

The Lord John series – Diana Gabaldon
These all seem to be mysteries, which is not generally a genre I’m drawn to. I don’t entirely understand why there are so many books about Lord John, who I always considered to be a rather boring character, but Gabaldon … Continue reading

Voyager (Outlander #3) – Diana Gabaldon
So at the end of the last book, Dragonfly in Amber, Claire realizes that Jamie didn’t die after Colloden and so he could still be alive in the past, 20 years later. Well, I don’t really think I’m giving too … Continue reading

Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2) – Diana Gabaldon
So this is an enormous series of books, and it’s got all kinds of novellas and short stories, so the author actually has a chronology on her website, which is really helpful. And for Dragonfly in Amber, she writes: “It … Continue reading

Two Dorks, One Book: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Michelle says: So this is an enormous book in a ginormous series and I really wasn’t sure I was going to like it. Unfortunately, I was also afraid it would take me a long time to get through, so I … Continue reading
The Shadow Throne – Jennifer A. Nielsen (Ascendance #3)
So sad, this is the last book of the series. Carthya is finally at war with all it’s bordering countries, and Sage must once again figure out a way to save the day (and his country). He still doesn’t share … Continue reading

The Leap Year Boy by Marc Simon
BORING. And unfortunately, that’s the BEST I can say for this one. I kept waiting for the big reveal, the big a-ha, the big so-THAT’S-what-this-book-is-about. I never got anything remotely like that, so blargh. The Leap Year Boy is a … Continue reading
