News Nemo April has been a slow month for me, with not much to report. Although I think it’s been my biggest unsolicited review book haul since I started blogging, so maybe that’s something. Wrestlemania was on near the start of April and for non-wrestling fans it’s basically like the Superbowl but bigger. It was […]
This book continues on from where Silver Brumbies of the South ended, with Baringa growing up and Dawn with foal. Baringa has to battle all of the elements, it seems, so he’s faced moving to a new kingdom, fire and snow and storm. The only thing left to conquer is flood, and unfortunately the flood […]
I put off reading this book for more than a week. Not because I needed a break from the series, I didn’t. But because I was scared. Memories of this book flooded back to me, memories of staying up at night and reading under my covers with my pocket torch. Memories of the dummies, Mr. […]

I had the most evil genius plan I was going to enact since that time I… wait… I’m in my late 20s and this was my first evil genius plan ever. That’s sad. Anyway, in case you didn’t know, there’s this thing called Overdrive which is basically an app for your smart phone or maybe […]
I’ll be honest with you: Lirael is over 500 pages of largely non-action, worldbuilding, and characters who make terrible mistakes and have to overcome them largely by their own fortitude. But the difference between Lirael and other books with little action driving the plot is that Nix is consistent with his characters. He doesn’t tell […]
No Post on Sundays is Young Adult At Heart’s Sunday link dump, a collection of posts from other bloggers we’ve found interesting or share-worthy throughout the week. This isn’t a real blog post.

Well hello once again… *The lights burn brightly over Archer’s head as he looks around, the sandy heat sapping all the energy he has. Taneika is bouncing around excited to be at a pyramid, Nemo too is happy to be here.* The heat is killing me but the backdrop of pyramids seems appropriate… I’ve just […]
Changing Attitudes to Hype I’ve been blogging about books since 2010, so I’ve seen a few hyped books come and go. I still remember the massive campaign for Divergent, and man I fell so hard for it. Luckily I liked the book! But living in Australia means I miss out a bit on the big […]
