Welcome to the Oldsoul Blog Tour, hosted by CubicleBlindness. This is my first Blog Tour, so I’m pretty happy to be a part of it. There are two parts to this post: first, my review of Dan’s book Oldsoul. And after the review, a giveaway of a signed ARC of the book and a bookmark! […]
The Taker has been on my to-read list since it came out last September, but I only recently found time to fit it into my reading schedule. I’m so glad I did, because this is a book that should not be missed. Although the cover design is lovely, it didn’t really prepare me for the […]
She has grease stains on her face instead of ashes. She’s looking for the mechanical foot that fits her best. And she drives to the ball in a beat-up gasoline car instead of a magical pumpkin. Welcome to Marissa Meyer’s inventive re-imagining of Cinderella, the first of four books in the Lunar Chronicles. I finally […]
I received a review copy of Curbchek from the author, and was immediately struck by the intriguing cover. Curbchek describes the gritty, day-to-day working life of a cop on the city streets, and that cop’s name is Zach Fortier, just like the author. Now, I’ve actually read quite a few books where the author decides […]
This week I would like to introduce C. G. Bauer, author of Scars on the Face of God: The Devil’s Bible, which was originally published by the now-defunct Drollerie Press in 2008. It has recently been reissued as an e-book, which is lucky for us, because hopefully more people will have the chance to read […]

Jay Asher is known for the bestselling Thirteen Reasons Why, and Carolyn Mackler has published five other young adult novels, including The […]
I read Sick and Exit 9 back-to-back in one frantic, tense, and exciting week, and I’m glad I did. Sick is the first book in the Project Eden trilogy, and introduces us to a group of bio-terrorists who want to rid the world of 99.9% of the population in order to start a new and […]
If you’re planning a trip to Hell to get back your lost love, the best way to get there is by Checker Cab, because if you live in Los Angeles, the entrance to Hell is probably not where you think it is. This particular cab driver, however, knows the way and will get you there, […]
Brett Battles is just like a carnival juggler. Imagine one of those burly guys with a bare oiled chest, juggling impossible objects in front of a stunned crowd by torchlight. Imagine a chainsaw, a sabre, a fiery club, all flying in air at the same time, and Battles below keeping the whole thing spinning with […]
So, after reading Ready Player One, it turns out I’m a geek. I suspected I was, since I’ve always had a fondness for all things geeky. But although I was never really into video games (I do remember, however, obsessively playing a game called “Castle” sometime around 1988 or ’89. It was loaded on my […]
