This Friday during the 2015 Fall of the Pages, I’m falling back to February 2015 and the fantasy dystopia Red Queen.

Book Review: A Madness So Discreet
I was entranced with the concept of this book from the first, and I could not put down the eARC once I got approved for it- it was one of those books that I just had to read from start to finish. It’s a dark corner of history in which women were treated horribly and put […]
Book Review: Believarexic

While it’s not necessary for readers to have read Tricks recently, or even to have read it at all, it does help to have a […]

Aside from work for the Lil’ Maverick committee, […]
