In the Hopper -- June 2008

I did pretty well last month with reading what I'd planned... I'm the planner sort of person; I work best with a deadline, which is why the library works really well with me. On the other hand, reading books I own... not so much. Which is why Wilkie Collins is still on my TBR pile. :) For Fun: The Host, Stepehenie Meyer (though I may put this off) Ever, Gail Carson Levine The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World, e.l. konigsburg Woman in White, Wilkie Collins The Fall of… Continue

In the Hopper -- May 2008

I've been keeping a list of books I need to read on paper, but I figured it was just as easy to stick it up here, and share my future reading plans with the World. (Or at least the Book Blogs network...) I'll keep the links in my monthly totals post, but I'll cross them off here when I do finish them. I'll also add ones as I pick them up. For Fun: Airman by Eoin Colfer The Red-Haired Princess, by Ann Rinaldi The Off Season, by Catherine Gilbert Murdo… Continue

My Other Writing

I realized that I'd like a linky resource of all the non-reviews I've written for Estella's Revenge. So, here they are... Voice of Dissent: The Book Thief, April 2008 Not everyone gushed about The Book Thief. My thoughts on why I didn't particularly care for this beloved work. A Reader's… Continue
