The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was always my favorite of the Chronicles of Narnia. It’s a lovely story of a voyage into the unknown. We begin the story with Edmund and Lucy Pevensie having been sent off to stay with relatives while their parents and sister Susan tour America, and their older brother Peter […]

Read for the Vampire Reading Challenge. I didn’t hate this book. But I can definitely see why a lot of people did. In the first three books, there was always some level of sacrifice going on. I mean, we’re dealing with humans, vampires and werewolves here. This kind of thing is not meant to go

Read for the Vampire Reading Challenge So I managed to stay up about forty-five minutes late on a work night so I could finish Eclipse. I suppose I’m smitten. I’ve been trying to put my finger on why exactly I enjoy this series as much as I have been, and it’s been tough. As a

I really wish I’d know about Marion Zimmer Bradley’s various short story anthologies back when they were being published. I was in my teens at the time, but she usually had at least one teen in each anthology, and my head is often full of might have beens when I read these books now. At

Ok, I have to admit it. Stephenie Meyer spins a good tale. I can’t say I’m teenage girl-level obsessed with this series, but despite the fact that I felt like slapping a little sense into Bella a couple of times in the beginning of this book, I occasionally had a hard time putting it down.

Silver on the Tree is the final book of the Dark is Rising Sequence. It falls third in my ranking list. In the book, Will, Bran, the Drew children, John Rowland and Merriman all come together in the final battle against the Dark. I’m of two minds on this book. On the one hand, I
