Review: Carry On

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. St. Martin's Griffin, 2015. Ok, so I know I'm late to the Carry On party, but maybe those of you who read it can shed some light on why it was such a disappointment to me. But first, a little background: I read Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl about 2 years ago, and I really…

Rose Recommends: March | The Great Good Thing

For March, I'm going to recommend one of my favorite young reader books: The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley. If I remember correctly, I got this book through one of those Scholastic book order catalogs  that my school would send home each month (which were the BEST, am I right??). Thankfully my parents had the means…

The Magician King by Lev Grossman. Viking, 2011. The Magician King is the sequel to The Magicians, which I reviewed here. There will be spoilers. I will start by saying that I enjoyed this book much more than the first. In my review of the first book, I mentioned how I was disappointed in the…

Review: The Magicians

The Magicians by Lev Grossman. Viking, 2009. I had high hopes for this book because of the amount of publicity it has received. It's been talked about as a "Harry Potter for adults," which naturally sparked my (as well as many others') attention. I would have to say that I liked it, but I didn't…
