Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan
I’ve just finished reading this series with my seven year old son. I’m going to get him to help me with the review.
First of all, I’m not sure I need a summary or how to go about that with an entire series so I’ll just give you [...]
A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle
A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle
The third book in L’Engle’s Time Quartet. I remember loving these books as a child. I didn’t like this one as much as the first two this time around. I still enjoyed it but I still like A Wrinkle in Time the best.
This book has skipped a lot of [...]
Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Read for: Banned Books Challenge
I’ve been meaning to read this book for a very long time. It’s been sitting on my night stand (where I keep my TBR in the next month pile) since September because I planned to read it for Banned Books Week. But I just never [...]
Book Review: Artemis Fowl
Read for: Orbis Terrarum Challenge – Ireland
Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer, read by Nathaniel Parker.

This one was almost as good as the first one. Right from the first page it was action, action, action! This time around the legendary ship Hyperion has been spotted in the air and Matt is the only one who knows the coordinates. The Hyperion [...]
Book Review: Airborn by Kenneth Oppel – A Perfect Ten!
Airborn by Kenneth Oppel
Read for: Canadian Books Challenge
Why haven’t I read this sooner?! I loved the Silverwing books and somehow I just forgot about Kenneth Oppel. Then just last week I read a review somewhere (sorry, I can’t remember where) for the third book in this series and remembered that Oppel is Canadian and realized [...]
Book Review: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
Can I just say that I love this series?! It’s everything I was hoping Twilight would be, but wasn’t. I know I always bash Twilight, but I have to say that I liked the story. I just hated the writing and the characters were so one-dimensional and sometimes everything was [...]
