Book Review: The Girl in the Steel Corset

So. The Girl in the Steel Corset. Let me start off by saying that I don’t think this will be a book for everyone. I don’t know how I know this, but I just know. It’s already gotten a few negative reviews, which I guess I can understand, even if I don’t agree. It could be seen as boring to some if you aren’t interested in Victorian times, automatons (creepy), and Steampunk fashions. I didn’t find it boring at all. In fact, I quite liked learning about the world of Steampunk and all the details. Yes, nearly every outfit worn more »

Book Review: Devon Delaney is a Dirty Liar

  This isn’t a new book. I realize that. But since I am new to book blogging, I have had to go back quite a few years to find books I’ve wanted to read. Which is part of the reason I have almost 1300 books on my TBR list. This one was published in 2007. And it really was a very fun read. It’s definitely a tween/middle-grade novel, and I didn’t really know that until I started reading, and at that point I sighed and was disappointed. I decided to forge ahead anyway. I’ve got no problem reading fantasy middle-grade more »

Book Review: Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks

  What do you get when you put a totally annoying protagonist (at least most of the time), a totally adorable (and desired by boys everywhere because of her giant rack) younger sister, some plastic friends, cute boys, and a prestigious Christian school together? You get a book full of total awesomeness and win. I could praise this novel forever and ever and it wouldn’t be enough. This book made me sad I was an only child and missed out on all that sisterly drama. I seriously wish I had had siblings now. And it’s not like it showed siblings more »
