review 1: Queen Elizabeth I. Pretty much everyone knows she was a good queen and some people know what she accomplished during her reign (like outlawing wife-beating after 10:00pm, according to one of my Bathroom Readers), but not many really know much about her childhood and teenage year...

review 1: I collect owls. I love (good) children's books. I enjoy series where you can follow the lives of the characters as they face more trials and more excitements and learn and grow. So it was a no-brainer in the past to read and collect all the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books. Then m...

review 1: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS. This book/series has a lot of bittersweet memories for me. When I finished it(and cried) it was Christmas Eve. Ezylryb will forever remind me of my grandfather, who was a true book lover. Right about the time I read the part in the series wher...

review 1: My opinion- could be better. It was good, but not good enough, I believe that the earthquake was a bit silly, as an earthquake the size to destroy a volcano, it would make the volcano erupt, a tsunami would happen, and well, survival in an earthquake to destroy a few giant volcan...

review 1: In the previous book, Faolan was undoubtedly the hero of the story. In this one, Edme really steps forward as a major character. She is so unlike other MacHeaths as well as other wolves of the Beyond – cheerful and kind despite all the sorrow she suffered, and yet she is strong a...
