Of the 7 books in the Harry Potter series (I still contend that Cursed Child isn’t a Harry Potter book), HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE is my favorite. Now, maybe it’s not the best narratively (that’s probably PRISONER OF AZKABAN) but it’s the best to me. And why is that? I can explain in […]
2 Nuts John Green’s books run the gambit for me. You’ve got the good (TFIOS, OOKING FOR ALASKA), that bad (AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES) and the ugly (WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON). So where does that leave this middle book, PAPER TOWNS? Well, I guess somewhere in the middle. PAPER TOWNS is nowhere near as boring […]
4 Nuts You may remember that I was a childhood Harry Potter super nerd. I had 2 shelves worth of Harry Potter related literature, both from the pen of Rowling herself and not. This book was one of the ones I had, from the Harry Potter publisher Wizarding World Press. Of the Wizarding World Press […]

Here’s a few tips to keep those shelves for as long as possible before you finally go about replacing them. Help! My shelves are curving and bending! […]
Well, here it is! The cover for the third and final book in the LOOM series by Elise Kova! Are you as excited as we are for REBELS OF GOLD? A new rebellion rises from the still-smoldering remnants of the five guilds of Loom to stand against Dragon tyranny. Meanwhile, on Nova, those same Dragons […]
3.5 Nuts What? I’m only giving Order of the Phoenix a 3.5? HOOOOOW? I know, sacrilege right? But first let me point out that 3.5 isn’t that bad and I have plenty of reasons. When I first read this book as a kid, I think I was in middle school, it was like the pinnacle […]
When I was little in the heyday of the Harry Potter craze everyone spent hours and hours debating the future of the series. Who would die, who would get together, what was going to happen? There was a solid three years when this was all I thought about. My Harry Potter collection was not restricted […]
Before I had a decent tablet I did most of my ebook reading on my phone. Two apps made up the bulk of my books, Barnes and Noble’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle. Of the two I always preferred Nook. The Nook app is the better crafted of the two. Rather than the irritating carousel of […]
So yesterday, author John Green read the first chapter of his new book TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN. I have never made it a secret that while I like John, his books are often very hit or miss for me. In fact I was very wary of preordering TURTLES because I was worried it would […]
Since I was a little kid I loved to run away into fantastical worlds. Be it make believe or reading a fabulous novel of heroes and villains, my head spent more time out of this world than in it. And maybe that was a good thing. Sometimes growing up an only kid with a single […]
