Review: Ash and Quill

Ash and Quill by Rachel Caine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great book in the Great Library series. The story moves quickly covering events on two continents and ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you checking for the release date of the next book.

We helped too!!!

You might remember in Term 3 this year I asked if anyone still had some five cent coins that they would be happy to donate to author John Green for his book tour. His new book 'Turtles all the way down' has a tuatara in it and he was intending to give them away to people he met while he was promoting his book. Well the original goal was to collect a few hundred but over five thousand were collected and sent to him. Below is a posting on his vlog about those coins.

Review: One of Us is Lying

One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Terrific whodunit. Takes High School stereotypes and adds a closed room murder mystery plot. If you are all in the room together and one of you is murdered it must be someone in the room, right????

Review: The Empty Grave

The Empty Grave by Jonathan Stroud
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great end to a great series. The plot played out well, all the loose ends tied up and even the skull was happy. Looking forward to whatever Jonathan Stroud writes next.
