Life is just a bowl of (sour) cherriesFinding a book for this CBR10Bingo square was oddly tough for me, as nothing in my TBR list really jumped out at me as being obviously about food. When I started pulling my books off the shelf, one by one, and saw those gorgeous yellow cherries on the cover of D...

Viet Thanh Nguyen serves as editor for a short but impactful collection of essays about refugees and the refugee experience. I read a lot about immigration. I'm not entirely unaware that many of these stories are actually about refugees, but it's interesting that people often morph themselves into "...

This was hobbled a bit by having to take in really disparate threads from the first two novels. However, it didn't fall into the trap of the second novel, and seemed far less disjointed. Part of this is although it employs some of the same techniques, it limits itself a bit more. In Another Pa...

Another Faust was far better than this book, in my opinion. It did get a little slow as it set up the world, but this book was much more disjointed, and had issues where it mined Egyptian history and mythology in a way that made me feel distinctly uncomfortable. Peter Pan and Egyptian mythology...

*sigh* What to say about this book? I don't want to be negative, but it just didn't work for me for a variety of reasons I won't get into. If I had been reading this instead of listening there is no way I would have finished it. With that little bit being said I give this 2 Stars, it wasn't bad just...

First I want to thank both Netgalley and Candlewick Press for the chance to read this egalley. I don't think I reviewed either of the first two books on Goodreads, you'll have to go to my blog at http://misclisa.blogspot.com/ to find those reviews. But I really enjoyed the first two: Another Faus...

Review first posted at Bewitched BookwormsI’d first like to clarify that although this is part of a series it totally can be read as a Standalone. In fact, I read it without having read the other two books. The stories are not connected to each other, so I just realized today (yes..lol) that it’s pa...

Katherine Kellgren has an extraordinary talent for accents. Russian, French, Italian, British (various kinds), American, you name it she's got it down pat. So with all the different voices in Another Faust, it was necessary to have a narrator with this sort of talent. Kellgren has the type of voice ...

Going into Another Pan, I was lost. I do not know if I am the only one, but for some reason I thought Another Pan was going to be a continuation of Another Faust. I was wrong. The tale still centers around Marlowe School and the creepy, evil nanny / nurse lady from the previous novel. Where Another ...
