, January 30, 2013
The Night Circus is a simply beautiful book that draws you in and you never want to leave. Brilliant storytelling, vivid writing... Readers travel a journey of suspense and wonder, magic and light--immersed in a world we've all dreamed of but never thought we'd get to experience. A classic from the very first page.

City & the City
by
China Mieville
Ariel Valladares
, January 01, 2012
What an amazing book! The City & Tbe City showcases two cities, side by side and even sometimes overlapping, with citizens that very carefully do not see the citizens in the other city. China Mieville tells this so-much-more-than a murder mystery wonderfully. I've become a great fan of his work, and highly recommend this novel. Enjoy!

Robber Bride
by
Margaret Atwood
Ariel Valladares
, September 22, 2011
An absolute must-read! Wonderfully written and so easy to sink into--the hours spent reading will fly by. Margaret Atwood tells how some people, like Zenia, are just plain bad. Then some people, like Roz, Tony, & Charis, can be cut off at the knees, hearts ripped out their chests, but then rise to live again.

Into The Wilderness
by
Sara Donati
Ariel Valladares
, September 22, 2011
Elizabeth Middleton moves from England, the heart of civilization, to a tiny village in upstate New York. She believed this to be a brand-new chapter in her life, but had no idea what surprises and wishes would arrive in the form of Nathaniel Bonner. So much more than a love story, "Into the Wilderness" takes the reader along a fantastical journey. Intrigue, battles, and forbidden love race across the page and into imagination!

Cold Mountain
by
Charles Frazier

, September 22, 2011
A truly beautiful book, "Cold Mountain" is exquisitely written and very moving. Historical fiction is a great genre, and this book just jumps right in, along with a heartbreaking love story. This is a novel that I've been drawn to again and again, being immersed in the language and the story, it doesn't get any better.

One of the best books I've ever read, and one that I will read again and again. It is beautifully written and an amazing story that grabs your attention immediately and will not let it go. The reader travels with Mundus on his fascinating journey and doesn't want it to end.

This book has long been one of my most cherished treasures. It takes me to a place I know in my heart I've been to before. For anyone and everyone that just wants to get lost in a book, "Ombria in Shadow" is one of the best choices that can be made.

Night Train To Lisbon

, March 03, 2010
What a wonderful, wonderful book... A beautiful woman and a special find in a bookstore lures Mundus out of his safe world of routine and into a whole new way of living. He takes the reader along every step of the way and makes them want to jump into the pages just to see what he is seeing. Before you start the first page, make sure you have a few hours available, because you won't want to put this one down.

A wonderfully woven tale of historical fiction and fantasy, Vonda N McIntyre takes the reader through a wonderful journey at the Sun King's court, and his search for immortality. The novel is beautifully written and very hard to put down--I loved every page.
