Quick Impressions I enjoyed The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton but had a hard time feeling anything for the characters. Both Archer’s and Ellen Olenska’s disappointments where their undoing. The pair had no one to blame but themselves. Although both did the honorable thing in the end. To be honest, I only was concerned […]

Penguin Books with the help of designer Coralie Bickford-Smith are sprucing up literature’s great works, “ditching their stuffy dust jackets for smartly embossed canvas covers. Perfect for replacing well-thumbed favorites or creating a bookshelf piece de resistance”. I love me a good classic, and these covers are so beautiful they are something to stand back […]

Impressions While Reading I had mixed feelings throughout New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I have come to the conclusion, that I am a Jacob fan. Jacob as Bella’s new love interested me more than the chilling cold but vampire with a heart of gold. While both boys care and despite her klutziness would never let […]
First Impressions Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay was incredibly sad and no matter how fictional tears your heart. Impressions While Reading First, I thought Tatiana de Rosnay did a good job describing the backdrop of that time in history. She excelled in getting the point across of these horrid times. Through Julia, we get […]
Review What to say about Twilight? I read this a few years ago because of all the hype it was receiving. I wanted to see what it was all about. I must have gotten caught up in the book’s popularity and entertaining storyline to realize how poorly it is written. Twilight had a tendency to […]
