Readhead Reviews

Every month the readheads pick one book that all three of us read and review. Our book for August is Lev Grossman’s The Magicians.

I’ve been pretty bad about reviewing our past books of the month, which is unfortunate because I actually have read all of them! To save you from some epic tl;dr and as the only way to finally be done with these books, I’m jamming them all into one post! This way I can give some short commentary instead of headdesking my way through full-fledged reviews for each book.

Every month the readheads pick one book that all three of us read and review. Our book for June is Erica Bauermeister’s first novel The School of Essential Ingredients.

As Children’s Book Week comes to a close, it seems only right to consider how far children’s literature (everything from picture books through young adult) has come and how far it has yet to go.

What if someone looked at you, really looked at you, for the first time in 150 years? How would you feel? And what if you were a ghost, completely unaccustomed to any form of human contact only to get that all back in the span of a few hours? How would you react?

Every month the readheads pick one book that all three of us read and review. Our book for May is Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello.

Hey y’all, Readhead Reviews is happy to announce a new feature – video posts! In our first post, I give a brief review of a Jane Austen-based book and a preview for a book I’m starting to read about paleontology and dinosaur fossils.

First off, I apologize that my review has been a long time coming. I am in the middle of a big move, and I’m afraid my blogging has suffered as a result. However, I would like to offer a brief defense of A Game of Thrones.

This month I was really absorbed by other things and put off reading A Game of Thrones until a few days ago. I bulldozed straight through it over the past three days – and boy, is that the wrong way to read this book.

I’m not really a fantasy person. Or maybe I should say I’m only into fantasy if it’s a young adult book, and even then only if the book comes from an author I have been loyal to for years.
