Death, a sardonic and articulate character who is afraid of humans, narrates this WWII coming-of-age story about faith, love, hope amidst tragedy.
Zusak has created a work that deserves the attention of sophisticated teen and adult readers. Death himself narrates the World War II-era story of Liesel Meminger from the time she is taken, at age [...]

One thing that I found interesting about the Southern Vampire books by Charlaine Harris is that there was a bridal shower that followed the absolute norm. You would think that in a series of books that features vampires, they would have different things as gifts instead of honeymoon lingerie and appliances.
Sure, the bridal shower [...]

Books are good for anything that ales you. Seriously. I tend to forget that sometimes, but it’s nice to read once in a while. Even just listening to an audio book is satisfying for me.
I have finished 2 books this year, which is pretty paltry. But they’re good books, to me at [...]

It’s not a well kept secret that I love books. It doesn’t matter the genre, as long as it catches my interest. And it’s not a well documented secret that if I could, I’d be buying books all the time. But, I can’t do that, so I take advantage of the great [...]
