Agatha has all the tricks up her sleeve! I'll give Five Little Pigs 4 out of 5 birds. I was intrigued by this novel because it was opening up a SUPER old case... Which is something I'm implementing into my own novel. I wanted to see how Agatha threaded the information in and thought she... Continue Reading →

Alright Elizabeth George Speare, I'll give you five out of five Blackbirds for this novel. I'm not biased either because I'm part bird and part witch.

Neil Gaiman deserves four out of five ghost birds for his novel The Graveyard Book. It was such a UNQIUE storyline and fresh. I thought it was a good starter for horror- since it starts out with murder. Other than that I didn't feel like it was graphic. It was interesting to read it from... Continue Reading →

Dear Truman Capote you deserve 4 out of 5 birds for In Cold Blood. This book covered such a bizarre crime. A crime that really had no motive, just pure idiocy... In my opinion. I thought some of the facts were dragged out and that in the end something was still missing. How do you... Continue Reading →
