It really bites when you just can’t get into a story and it has nothing to do with the book itself. I just experienced this with The Burning Dark by Adam Christopher. Since I had rare moments of free time to read, I never connected to the story-line or the […]
Knowing that Lover Reborn was about Tohr moving on from the loss of Welsie, made this one of the hardest novels to begin reading. I love the boys in the Brotherhood and I don’t want to see them suffer any more than they already have. Ward’s writing is amazing at making you […]
Someone picks up your book, flips through the pages and comments “How can you read this? There are no pictures!” I’ve heard this a bunch of times, as I’m sure so have many of you. My favorite part about this ‘joke’ is that it’s more insulting to them, not you, […]
Nikki and I hope you’ll join us today for Story Time with Literary Escapism, a bi-weekly feature where we showcase various children books that fall directly in the fantasy & science fiction genres, as well as books we’re enjoying with our young children. We’re talking boardbooks, picture books, those books labeled […]
Wicked by Douglas Nicholas, had a lot of promise and I was looking forward to reading it. I gave it a chance as long as I could, but it wasn’t able to capture my attention. The mesmerizing and highly anticipated sequel to Something Red transports readers to the harsh and […]

I was in the mood for a good heart breaking read and I totally found it in The Tyrant’s Daughter by J. C. Carleson. Now it’s not part of LE’s usual fare, there are no werewolves or vampires or robots, instead it’s loosely based on factual events and the world […]
If you like ghosts, with a dash of romance and topped with some murder mystery intrigue, then Spirited by Mary Behre just might be the novel for you. It is jam packed with activity from start to finish, making it a rather quick read. While, I can’t say it’s a new […]
It’s rare to run into another wanna-be writer, but occasionally I get the privilege, though sometimes it’s more of a headache. Like the time I ran into a guy who told me about his favorite authors/books and what he loved about them. He also went into great detail of a […]
The hubby – a non reader but trying to change that – and I were talking online recently about novels, when he mentioned how he doesn’t like dramatic writing in a book. Example (not a quote from a book) “I could taste his fear as he cowered before me. It […]
