Centuries of June by Keith Donohue

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
Sorta liked it: Seraphina is an original, clever, political novel about a medieval society in which dragons take human form and interact fairly freely with the rest of the population. I found the world of Goredd fascinatingly real and well … Continue reading

The Hobbit (2012)
Ok, so I make no pretenses that The Hobbit has ever been my FAVORITE book. I enjoyed The Lord of the Rings movies as much as the next gal, but would never reread the books (too long, involved, and BORING), … Continue reading

House of Shadows, by Rachel Neumeier – DNF
