Review: Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov
I bought this book not because I knew anything about it or because I’d heard it was any good but because I’d heard, via twitter, that the publisher was adopting penguins in the name of bookstores that sold a certain … Continue reading
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
In the collection of books that I bought for my nook immediately following 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I started reading them around Christmas. I think I was expecting more descriptions of action and … Continue reading
Reading Challenge 2012: Just Read Things

Review: White Cat and Red Glove by Holly Black
I normally do books in a series separately, but its actually been a month since I’ve read these two, so I’m going to do them together. Holly Black has created a world very much like our own except that this … Continue reading
Review: America the Edible by Adam Richman.
When Borders announced it was closing its doors forever, my friends Ash, Ali and I went to check out the sales. While there weren’t a ton of books I was willing to pick up for only 10% off (especially since … Continue reading
