the zero and the one

NA Fiction | Contemporary | Mystery
3.5 Stars
Blurb:

“A gothic twist on the classic tale of innocents abroad, THE ZERO AND THE ONE is a meditation on the seductions of friendship and the power of dangerous ideas that registers the dark, psychological suspense of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley and the intellectual and philosophical intrigue of John Banville’s The Book of EvidenceContinue reading

Fiction | Short Story Collection

“Set in the early nineteenth century, A Tapestry of Tears is about female infanticide, and the unmaking of tradition. If a woman gives birth to a female child, she must feed her the noxious sap of the akk plant. That is the tradition, parampara. Veeranwali rebels, and fights to save her offspring.
The other stories span a spectrum of emotions and also bring to life the varied culture and social spectrum of India. Woven into this collection is the past and the present, despair and hope, and the triumph of the human spirit.”

I am so excited that ROSEBLOOD by A.G. Howard releases today and that I get to help share the news!
If you haven’t heard about this epic book by A.G. Howard, be sure to check out all the details below. I’m a massive fan of The Phantom of the Opera musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber so of course when this book popped up on my radar I was beyond excited to read it (seriously, just say the word and I’ll sing the whole musical for you including the instrumentals). Howard gives this story plenty of unique twists that I think are going to be absolutely incredible.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Down the Rabbit Hole by Julia Crane (2016)
-NetGalley Review-

Down the Rabbit Hole

YA Fiction | Fantasy
2.5 Stars
Blurb:

“Down the Rabbit hole is a twisted tale of two sisters bound by blood and separated by magick.

Alice is not the lovable girl the stories depict. A lifetime of pain and illusion has left her disturbed. Unpredictable. Dangerous.  Continue reading

Emma

Emma by Jane Austen (1815)

Emma

Fiction | Romance
4.5 stars
Blurb:

“Beautiful, clever, rich – and single – Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen’s most flawless work.”

It was so incredibly hard to choose but I’ve finally come up with this year’s updated list of my favorite book series and stand-alones (as of 2016). There are so many amazing books that I’ve read so it was incredibly hard to narrow some of the categories down to just one series or book. Some were easy long time faves, but others…it was a challenge to choose!
