Unearthly by Cynthia Hand, 2011 Book
I found this book on Goodreads in my recommended section. I have read a lot of novels similar this one, and although none of them were good, I was hoping this one may be different. At least for once, the girl was not going to innocently fall in love …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix - Book

Make Every Man Want You by Marie Foleo
Make Every Man Want You, written by Marie Foleo, is a bit tall order for me to follow, but I enjoy reading this book nevertheless. Really, and I mean it. It is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek sort of book and it is not only smart, but …

Chasing the Dead
Chasing the Dead by Joe Schreiber was a considerable let down. Granted this is his first book but the whole idea seems as if it were originally a short story. It works hard to be a cross between Stephen King and Richard Laymond but falls short. It …
Spring Things Children’s Book
