At least, she is in the fairytale inspired novel Cinder by Marissa Meyer. When I picked up this book I figured it was going to be your usual fairy tale adaptation. They are pretty common these days. Once Upon A Time on ABC does it with a campy, family friendly flare that’s really gotten […]
Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down…
Everyone knows that fast moving zombies are the most terrifying of all the zombies. I don’t think we quite realized that, though, until the Dawn of the dead remake came out and introduced us to those most terrifying of creatures. And then 28 Days Later came. Then 28 Weeks Later. […]
Divining the Core of Libba Bray’s Diviners
Being a law student doesn’t leave you a whole lot of time to do anything that’s not, you know, reading for law school. But I do my best. Picking books can be difficult because if I’m going to read a book it either needs to be a.) good and well […]
Beautiful Creatures Was Robbed This Valentine’s Day

I have read the first three of the Twilight books, and I did enjoy them when I read them when I was in middle school and I enjoyed […]
Every Day Book Review
For A, every day brings something new. A new home, a new family, a new body. In Every Day by well known young adult author David Levithan, every morning A wakes up in the body of someone the same age. I would say the similarities would end there but age […]
