Five Stars I adore Holmes and Watson retellings because … Continue reading My Sherlock-loving self is quaking
I read this book for a college class this semester which was exciting because YA books rarely are used in college classes since they're so often not considered "literature." BOO.

Spinning Silver was a phenomenal retelling of a story I … Continue reading Rumpelstiltskin Returns for Another Incredible Retelling

I want to read about 20 somethings since that's where I am at in my life, but … Continue reading Adult Section Recommendations: I need help!
