| Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany | Play Review

Review: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Disclaimer: Light spoilers in this for the beginning of the play and its concept. If you don’t want to know ANYTHING at all, please stop reading now. If you don’t mind a bit more than the synopsis, read on. Reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is strange thing. On the one hand, it was a complete and total joy to be back in the wizarding world again, to see all my old favorites and to see brand new characters really spring to life. On the other hand, it’s a very strange to […]

The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood | Review + Blog Tour

Hi guys, today I’m excited to be part of the Canadian Blog Tour for The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood. This is a really unusual young adult novel, chock full of science and heartbreak, but with beautiful and quirky writing. Read on for a short Q&A with Harriet (about Dawson’s Creek, because Harriet did her Ph.D on it!), and then my review! Who is your favorite Dawson’s Creek character and why? Harriet Reuter Hapgood: Jen Lindley. Without question. I loved her from the get-go. She had such an awful time of it – sexualized way too young, […]

“Call Me, Call Me, Any, Anytime”: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Landline Author: Rainbow Rowell (twitter | website) Publisher: St. Martin’s Press (MacMillan/Raincoast Books) Source/Format: ARC from BEA14 (thank you, MacMillan!) Publication date: July 8, 2014  My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.  Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems besides the point now. Maybe that was always besides the point. Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up […]

Waiting on Wednesday: Time After Time by Tamara Ireland Stone

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that book bloggers are eagerly anticipating. This week’s WoW pick is a no-brainer for me: Time After Time Author: Tamara Ireland Stone Publisher: Disney Hyperion Expected publication date: October 8, 2013 Goodreads synopsis:  Calling Anna and Bennett’s romance long distance is an understatement: she’s from 1995 Chicago and he’s a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn’t. And they found a way to stay […]

Review: Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone

Time Between Us  Author: Tamara Ireland Stone Publisher: Hyperion Books Publication date: Oct 9, 2012 My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars Summary:  Anna is a 16-year old living in Evanston, Illinois in 1996.

At the beginning of the novel, a woman (whom we can easily presume is 32-year old Anna) goes to Bennett in San Francisco and gives him a letter. As you can already tell, this is a love that will be fraught with problems. Anna and Bennett meet for the first time in 1996 when […]
