I decided to read another page and got sucked into the vortex of this book, not too bad as it's a novella but bad in that I just couldn't stop. In a school for children who have returned from worlds they fitted in, Nancy is a new girl. Eleanor West is the headmistress and while she looks in her 6...

The Wayward Children series explores the what-ifs and uncomfortable questions behind portal fantasies where children are brought to a magical other-land, save a kingdom or perhaps conquer their fears, only to wind up home again once the adventure is over.

Series: Wayward Children #1 I probably should have know better than to try another book by Seanan McGuire, but this was available at my library so I figured I'd give it a shot. This wasn't the book for me. It started out with an interesting concept (kids travel to weird worlds and then back to t...

Full review on my blog.I loved the concept of this book. I've always wondered what it would be like for kids like Alice or the Pevensie kids who fell/stepped/whatever through a doorway to another world, but then came back here, and I think this book did a nice job with that.I liked a lot of the char...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I LOVE THIS!Okay, so a few moments I had to backtrack and wonder who's perspective I was reading. But beyond those rare incidents where it could be me that's the problem, everything was perfect. I'll be back with a full review shortly.

A melancholy story about a school/sanitarium for young people who have visited fantasy worlds and now find themselves unable to return to the Other World they consider their real home. Their parents believe them to be psychologically traumatized runaways or kidnapping victims, but all any of them wa...

When I get to considering my favorites of 2016, there's no way that Every Heart a Doorway doesn't make the Top 10 (see my initial post), so when I saw it available on the library's audiobook site when I needed something to end the week with, I grabbed it, certain I was going to have a lot of fun. ...
