The Writer's LibraryI am a literature geek with a Bachelor's degree in English with a writing concentration. I love to read, and I'm always itching to write, especially creatively. I started "The Writer's Library" in high school, previously working with a Blogger platform before moving over to WordPress. While I mainly post reviews of books, occasionally I will go ahead and review works in other media forms as well, such as music and certain television shows. No matter what I'm doing on here, I love to share with anyone who is willing to listen, and I'm excited to finally be on WordPress!
The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. KingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I definitely enjoyed this. Mary Russell, a dauntless heroine, is likable despite her character flaws when matched up to Sherlock Holmes. It took her longer than I expected to decipher a message left by the antagonist, and I see that as a flaw […]
Sherlock Holmes End Justifies? by Cavenagh Tom CavenaghMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Well. I did not see that ending coming, and that redeemed the book significantly in that I was able to award it one more star. I wish I could say that this book is on-par with the likes of Anthony Horowitz, but […]
I’m very excited – I honestly don’t know why this didn’t come to me when I read The House of Silk. I present Project Sherlock. I will first file Anthony Horowitz’s fabulous tributes under the project (because the first novels to be endorsed by The Conan Doyle Estate in over one hundred years deserve as […]
Biplane by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “What shall I be, this moment?” I’ve been an avid Bach reader lately. I’ve read everything from Johnathon Livingston Seagull to A Gift of Wings. Bach’s Zen-like prose touches someone like me and seduces me into following the story through to the end. There is always […]
Nothing by Chance by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Unlike Richard Bach, I may never know the true freedom of flight. I used to think that flying was mainly commercial, that there was no way it was a hobby for anyone. Yet if you have the good fortune to fly a small, simple […]
Moriarty by Anthony HorowitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Internal screaming No, wait. Give me a moment. I’m not done yet. Screams more. What the heck did I just read? I’m afraid this review won’t do the book justice. This story is like a rollercoaster with twenty loops. I felt sick on it…. and I loved […]
The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel by Anthony HorowitzMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I keep reading the preface in Martin Freeman’s voice now. Oh, God…A novel that takes a beloved character and puts a different twist on him/her can be tricky territory. The readers scrutinize the character and make sure it stands […]
Challenger Deep by Neal ShustermanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m not an avid Neal Shusterman reader. The only other novel of his that I’m familiar with is Bruiser . I’ve read a couple of novels with mental illness as the main subject (one fiction, one memoir) and I can’t call myself an expert, but […]
Rules for a Knight by Ethan HawkeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Well, I honestly do not know what to say… and unfortunately in this case, that’s not a good thing. I liked it, it was touching, but it didn’t blow me away like I expected it to. I wanted to learn something I hadn’t […]
A Gift Of Wings by Richard BachMy rating: 4 of 5 stars I am no pilot. I don’t know about fuel gauges, aviation, airports, or turbulence. I’m not a mechanic. Nuts and bolts are just objects to me; meaningless objects. Yet somehow this book grabbed me and refused to let me go until I’d finished. […]
