Whew!

I feel so refreshed- a new blog (check out my personal one at http://coranne.livejournal.com/), most (ok, maybe half) of my blogs copied over to here, and a fresh start!

So what is this blog?  Well, I know that from being a voracious reader- I don't have time for book reviews that are 2 pages long.  I like my reviews short, sweet, and to the point- without loads of spoilers.  I mean, really, who wants to read the entire plot on a website?

I don't do e-readers.  I love the feel of books in my hands.  There is something special about a book (maybe the new book smell?) that can't be replaced.

I don't garuntee a positive review.  To be honest, in the last few months- I have had quite a few stinkers.  I will try and even out those stinkers with books that I have really enjoyed.  Most of the time, though, if I didn't like a book- it wasn't because it was horrible.  It was most likely because it wasn't my style of book.

I hope that this blog will excite you into finding new authors and new books to read!

Happy Reading!

Aru Shah and the End of Time By  Roshani Chokshi Published on March 27th 2018 Published by: Disney/Rick Riordan Presents Source: Publisher Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from their latest archaeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur? One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again. But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it i...
