Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
After reading To Say Nothing of the Dog last summer I knew I wanted to read more of Connie Willis but I’m just now getting around to it! (And I still want more!)
A few short years into the future (2054 to be exact) and time travel has been discovered (invented?). Kivrin, [...]

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
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: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Read for: Banned Books Week
First of all, can I just say that I think it’s truly ironic that a book about books being illegal is banned?! I had no idea what this book was about when I first picked it up except the whole dystopian future thing. It seems pretty common [...]
Book Review: Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel – Another Ten!
Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel (sequel to Airborn)
Read for: Canadian Books Challenge
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: The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Read for: What’s in a Name Challenge – book with a medical condition in the title (this might be stretching it a little, but someone else has already used this for this category so SUE ME!)
Wow. I don’t even know where to start with this one… This book is horrifyingly [...]
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
Ok, so this book was totally awesome. I don’t know if I can even attempt a summary. It’s a science fiction book about time travel where they spend most of their time in the victorian era so it’s got that angle. It’s also hilarious and there’s a [...]
Favourite Books II
Well, I wasn’t going to include this one, but I’m sure it’s the book I’ve read the most times, so that must say something about it right?
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
I believe it was Michelle that introduced me to OSC, and I know that Ender’s Game was the first one of his books [...]
