The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just want to start off by saying that I never had any desire to read this book, so the fact that I'm giving it a five-star review is saying something. Overview: Way of Kings is an epic fantasy novel that takes...Read More

The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan My rating: 4 of 5 stars I found this book when I was searching for books similar to Eragon. I just really felt like a high fantasy adventure.

Book Review: Off the Page

Posted on September 14, 2017September 20, 2018 by annisezate

Off the Page by Jodi Picoult My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, I just want to say that most of the time I have a hard time with sequels. Series are fine, but often I feel like sequels are a flop, because usually the author never planned to make another one, so the author...Read More

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow, so I was apparently a little deprived as a child for not having read this. I guess I would have rather read about people than mice. But I've been looking for some third grade books to read aloud to my class...Read More

River Secrets by Shannon Hale My rating: 5 of 5 stars I freaking love this book! (And I have a lot to say about it.) River Secrets is the third of the Books of Bayern. The first book was The Goose Girl (one of my favorite books of all time!) and the second is Enna...Read More

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 3 of 5 stars I really wanted to like this book. It had a lot of great qualities. It had an intense plot, compelling characters, and a unique story concept. I loved how the story began and I was really excited to read on about the characters...Read More
