An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge rated it 5 years ago
The problem with reviewing books months after I've read them is I can't remember anything. I think there was a weird thing with Hazel's adoption (or another adopted kid) in this book, but I can't remember what. The story itself was just kind of eh. It didn't feel that innovative, but it also wasn...
Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality!
Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality! rated it 9 years ago
Her class at her old school looked out on a small patch of woods, and Hazel had always thought that there was something magical about them, that it was the sort of place she and Jack were supposed to go into together. They would bring breadcrumbs, and they would cross through the line of trees to se...

This sort of re-telling isn't my jam, but I suspect it will be one of those amazing books for my niece to read.

“A boy got a splinter in his eye, and his heart turned cold. Only two people noticed. One was a witch, and she took him for her own. The other was his best friend. And she went after him in ill-considered shoes, brave and completely unprepared.” I wanted this book to never end, and I'd have sat i...

I really liked this book about an adopted girl from India who can't seem to adjust to her new school without her best friend, Jack. It stays true to the story of the Snow Queen while adding elements of more modern fairy tales, particularly aspects of Coraline and wanting a complete family. The paren...

Where do I begin? I feel as though anything I write about Breadcrumbs won't do it justice. That all the feelings that are wrapped up inside of me are entirely too large to fit into a review. Still, a review is the only way I know how to show my appreciation for this magical book, and so I'll do my b...

Let's just say that the blurb, is somehow right, and somehow not. :) I expected immediate fantasy and a search throughout a forest that is enchanted. Instead, we get about 50% before that happens stuff, filled with just friendship, friendship breaking, a wonderful girl with too much imagination and ...

Pro:Das Cover gefällt mir sehr, sehr gut. Es ist mal etwas ganz Anderes und gibt das Märchenhafte der Geschichte wunderbar wieder! Was man auf Fotos nicht sehen kann: die Schneeflocken glänzen, was das Titelbild nochmal richtig hübsch macht.Märchen sind in den letzten Jahren wieder in Mode gekommen,...

A Reading Vocation

This book was beautifully written, with believable characters and motivations. For me its main drawback was how long it took to get going; for half the book, it's really just literary fiction rather than fantasy or fairy tale retelling, which makes the occasional fantastical elements feel out of pla...
