Book Review: One Day a Year by J. Lamont Jones
YES! What a breath of fresh air! I was of course, immediately captivated by the gorgeous cover, and then reeled in through the content of historical fiction with a time-travel theme.

Book Review: The Graveyard Riddle by Lisa Thompson
This book came as a surprise to me. Here I was thinking, “Oooh! It had graveyard in the title. And it talks a bout a plague house on the back cover…It must be spooky!”, but lo and behold, I find out that it doesn’t have all that much to do with hauntings or spooky thingsContinue reading “Book Review: The Graveyard Riddle by Lisa Thompson”

Book Review: The Girl in the Lake by India Hill Brown
Browsing through the new library that recently opened in my hometown, I came across this middle grade title.

Summary Celeste is afraid to swim, so she is naturally apprehensive toContinue reading “Book Review: The Girl in the Lake by India Hill Brown”
Book Review: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates
I wanted to branch out to other authors of the genre I like to write, supernatural/suspense, who, like Mary Downing Hahn, tell stories (for children, teens, or adults) that involve the concept of overcoming fear. I’ve found that Darcy Coates’ books fall under this umbrella. This is the first book of hers I’ve read, andContinue reading “Book Review: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates”

Book Review: The Thirteenth Cat by Mary Downing Hahn
I started this week reading a book from a MG detective series, but after catching a lot of grammar errors and seeing it had WAY too much dialogue, I abandoned it and read a book from Mary Downing Hahn (in 2 days!!). She never fails to disappoint so I knew I could finish one ofContinue reading “Book Review: The Thirteenth Cat by Mary Downing Hahn”

What a unique piece of historical fiction! I read this book a few months ago, so I am epically behind blogging.
