2015 Book Reviews by Title
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger: Book Review
Sophronia Temminick is a tomboy in Victorian England. The youngest of innumerable sisters, she is left alone to pretty much do as she pleases. What pleases her is climbing dumbwaiter shafts, spying on her sisters, and generally acting in ways not becoming to a lady. When she is packed off to finishing school one day, […]
Time Stops for No Mouse by Michael Hoeye: Book Review
Hermux Tantamoq is a quiet, rather shy watchmaker who just happens to be a mouse. His world is turned upside down when the lovely Linka Perflinger walks into his shop and asks him to repair her watch. She never returns to pick it up, even though it seemed to be important to her. When a […]
Meeting the Authors: Sarah Addison Allen

Movie Review: Into the Woods
I adore musicals. And that’s probably all I need to write. But here goes. My husband made a point of showing me this trailer a month or so ago (I usually have no idea what’s going on in the movie world). He knew I would be excited by it and I was. Fairy tales, a […]
