***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: A charming parallel-world fantasy that by itself is not much of a story, but lays a fun foundation for the sequel. What's great. I really enjoyed the language in this book, the oddness, and the playful narration. Th...
I had a bit of trouble at first, because Elliot in the Kingdom of Cello seems so much more realistic, more probably than Madeline in Cambridge. The differing story lines and perspectives weren't a problem, just how much more concrete Elliot's life was than hers.And then there are complications, and ...
2.5In moments of extreme conceit and hubris, sometimes, things click with me and I become them. A pair of dragonfly wings catch my eyes and I decide that's what I'd be if I were a pair of dragonfly wings. Not a vein different, not a vein prettier. That's how [b:A Corner of White|8661987|A Corner of ...
When I was a little kid, I used to love Alice in Wonderland. I mean, it had a talking cat, a singing mouse and daily tea parties - what more could one possibly ask for? But what I saw strangely seemed to make less and less sense to me as I got older. The more I returned to that old story, the more t...

So, let’s talk about why this book didn’t work.There’s actually a lot of reasons why, most of them small and rather ignorable. Having a cast of identically ‘quirky’ characters is rather bland, but to a reader who likes their quirk, it’s enjoyable and ultimately harmless. And if a few concepts here...
I love Jaclyn Moriarty’s writing. I may not always love her books but her writing is superb. She has this way of linking words, thoughts and pictures that is seamless, beautiful and sometimes heartrending. When I heard that Moriarty was writing a new book, I was happy. I did a happy dance to prove m...
This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesCover Impressions: At first glance, this cover looks like just another contemporary romance but, after finishing the book, I can appreciate the little touches. Madeline's outfit is exactly as described in the book - a whimsical plethora ...
I did not finish this book. There is a lot that seemed intriguing to me, but a lot that just wasn't getting it done. After getting to about 55%, I didn't want to read any more and my interest definitely waned. I will finish this book eventually as I do want to know what happened to Elliot's dad, I'm...
