Goodreads Review of The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling

First, an apology.

I apologize in advance for all J. K. Rowling fans everywhere, and to J. K. Rowling herself. I did give her new book a fighting chance, but in the end, I just didn't like it.

Here is my review over on Goodreads, where I discuss exactly what I thought worked and didn't work in J. K. Rowling's latest book, The Casual Vacancy:

Has anyone else read the book? What were your thoughts on it? Feel free to leave your comments, as I'd love to discuss what everyone who's read it thought about it here.

Goodreads Review of The Vindico by Wesley King

I'm taking a break from writing reviews for the ARCs I received at BEA this year to bring you a review of The Vindico by Wesley King. I highly recommend this YA book about a team of supervillains known as the Vindico who take on 5 teens as they proteges and the hijinx that ensues afterwards.

Come check out my review on Goodreads, here:

Stay tuned for reviews of the ARCs for Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer, Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You by Joyce Carol Oates, Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart, and The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I also need to review Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz and The Host by Stephenie Meyer, which I have also read recently. I'll get to all these eventually.
