This was a book that I was in fact very excited for and was on the top of my to read pile for a reason. Frankenstein is one of my favorite books. In fact that and Dracula are the reason I have love for the monster books, gothic style genre, and Frankenstein was the first book to truly creep me out...
Another book that I ended up finishing with a mix of various reactions, although in the end I did enjoy the book. What drew me to this one was the unusual story line, quite unlike anything I have encountered before. I have a love for Italian crafts, especially glass, and to read a book that was lo...
I don't know how to characterize this book, except to say that it's perfect. Heady, consuming, brilliant; written in verse; what better way to honor/write about the life of Sylvia Plath than to do it through the style of her own poems?
As seen on Ed and Em's Reviews!Sisters of Glass was very, very short. I read it in less than two hours. Just because I read it quickly, does not mean that I enjoyed it.

THREE FOUR WORDS: Good Story, Wrong Execution MY REVIEW: I really had no expectations (positive or negative) at all when I starting reading Sisters of Glass by Stephanie Hemphill, and while I actually enjoyed much of the story itself, I think the overall execution was lacking.Sisters of Glass is a h...
Posted on Book Chelle.The cover for Sisters of Glass by Stephanie Hemphill is gorgeous. The doves, the glass vase, the ribbon, and the gondola. It screams romance to me. It’s different, and I think, a great representation of the book and story itself.Sisters of Glass is a historical novel written in...

Knopf BFYR (via NetGalley) for the e-galley of Sisters of Glass.Maria is the youngest daughter of a glass-blowing family on the island of Murano. Per her father's will, she's supposed to marry into the nobility, even though her older sister, G...
I will preface this review by saying that I know absolutely nothing about poetry. When I hear about famous poets I say "I must read those some time!" but as you all know, I never do. I know they're those strange people that don't fill the page like normal writers do, and sometimes just put maybe two...
