As the oldest of the Pevensie kids, Peter has lots on his shoulders. Most important being keeping his siblings safe. I can relate to Peter as an older sibling myself. However, I also didn't like his character very much. Which is very interesting considering that is a bit how I act sometimes. What irked me …

It took me a very long time to really get into this book. I think I was going through a kind of reading slump. But by the end of the book I was hooked. The writing got better as I kept reading and I slowly became attached to some of the characters. Francine Rivers did …
(First of all, so sorry for not posting on here very often. I just haven't had the motivation to write, also; Netflix is a big distracter.) I've decided to continue on with my "Narnia Rant" series, and since I have finally finished reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" I can continue having all the details. As …
I realize that everyone read The Chronicles of Narnia when they were in middle school but for some strange reason, I purposed in my heart never to read it. (Probably because someone I hated in school read them. Petty, I know). But I have finally decided to give it a go. I've seen all the …
It's officially summer! So bring on the pool parties, road trips, and hammocking in the shade (with a book of course). So, here are my summer recommendations to get you started. It's interesting that when I think of summer, I think contemporary books (or the like). Maybe because during the summer we like to read …
So it's about the middle of the year. So that means I'm checking my progress on my Goodreads challenge. And honestly I am very sad. I have only read 11 books so far. This summer turned out to be busier than I had anticipated so I only have time to read on weekends. So without …
After much waiting, we finally get to see the new cover for Melanie Dickerson's newest book in her Spies of London series. I think that in comparison to the other two covers in this series, this one is my favorite. I adore her blue dress and she looks the most realistic. (In The Viscount's Proposal …
I haven't finished reading The Chronicles of Narnia yet. (I just started Prince Caspian) But I would like to take some time to talk about Edmund as a character. I have seen him in the first three books and the Narnia films. I can pretty easily say that Edmund is my favorite character along with Lucy …
“The Beautiful Pretender” is a medieval fairy-tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast and the Princess and the Pea and is the second book in the Thornbeck series. Rating: 5/5 Melanie Dickerson chooses to narrate the book through both of the main characters, Avelina and Reinhart. Every couple of chapters the perspective switches; and I …
This is the first book in Melanie Dickerson's Thornbeck series. This is also the first book of Melanie's that I read and I loved it more than I thought. I had read that these books are fairy tale retellings and are written in medieval times so I could not resist buying this one; when I …
