Ender’s Game by O.S. Card

13 December 2008 Jesse 1

So I’ve had pretty mediocre luck with the past few books I’ve read – it’s been quite a while since I’d found one that I couldn’t put down. With all my hobbies (guitar, writing, software development, art, etc), it’s hard to find time to make it through a book. The […]

Twilight

29 November 2008 Jackie 4

I made it to the theater last night and saw Twilight and I have to say I’m impressed.  I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed reviews, but I really don’t have any complaints.  Whenever anyone tries to bring a novel to life on the silver screen, there’s always something that […]

Varjak Paw by SF Said

20 October 2008 Jesse 1

Every night, I try to read to Ian for a few minutes before he goes to bed.  It’s hard finding a book that I find interesting, yet will keep his attention. One thing I’ve found is the language has to be simple enough that I won’t stumble on it while […]

Wicked Lovely by M. Marr

5 October 2008 Jackie 6

It’s been an odd couple of weeks. For some reason, i just haven’t been able to get into any of the books I have been reading and I really needed something. After all the praise I kept hearing for Melissa Marr’s Wickedly Lovely, I decided to pick it up since […]

Breaking Dawn by S. Meyer

5 August 2008 Jackie 1

The final novel in the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn starts off with the wedding of Edward and Bella, which is kind of different in my opinion. How often do we get to read what happens after the wedding? Normally, that’s when the story ends, when the wedding […]

Eclipse by S. Meyer

6 June 2008 Jackie 3

I finished Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer today. I’m not really sure why I waited so long before reading this series. The third novel picks up pretty much right after New Moon and we find out that graduation isn’t that far off. Bella makes a decision when trouble starts brewing in […]

New Moon by S. Meyer

5 June 2008 Jackie 1

I told you I went out and bought New Moon by Stephenie Meyer last night; well I had it finished by this afternoon. And that was after spending the morning out and about. I was so enthralled in this novel last night that I completely missed the first part to […]

Twilight by S. Meyer

4 June 2008 Jackie 7

Okay, I admit it, it was a mistake to not read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer before this. Sadly, this novel was recommended to me last fall, and I had bought it, but I ended up returning it for some other reason. I know, stupid move on my part. Classified as […]

The Dead Girls Dance by R. Caine

6 February 2008 Jackie 0

The title of the second novel in the Morganville Vampires series, The Dead Girls Dance by Rachel Caine is kind of misleading. There is a party where goth is the theme, but it was a chapter in the novel and that’s about it. The main plot revolves around a biker […]

The Hunt by S. Sizemore

21 January 2008 Jackie 0

I’m honestly not sure about The Hunt by Susan Sizemore. There are times when the plot seems forced and other times when Sizemore felt she needed to add something, but couldn’t think of what to add. The story itself was okay. It wasn’t a chore to read it, yet it […]
