Review: The Scroll, K.B. Hoyle

The Scroll (Goodreads) Author:   K.B. Hoyle (website) Follow @kbhoyle_author Rating: Darcy Pennington may once have been an average teenager, but not anymore.

Roundup: September 2013

It’s time for a look back at the past month on the Oaken Bookcase. Can you believe it’s October already? It’s been a very busy month and seems to have flown by. I’ve read a fair bit more this month but the towering to-read pile still doesn’t seem to be getting any smaller. It’s a […]

City of Ashes (Goodreads) Author:   Cassandra Clare Follow @cassieclare Rating: Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal.

Happy Hour in Hell (Goodreads) Author:  Tad Williams (website) Follow @tadwilliams Rating: I’ve been told to go to Hell more times than I can count. But this time I’m actually going. My name’s Bobby Dollar, sometimes known as Doloriel, and of course, Hell isn’t a great place for someone like me – I’m an angel. They don’t […]

Roundup: August 2013

It’s time for a look back at the past month on the Oaken Bookcase. I realise it’s already the 5th and I completely missed the end of August. No excuses, it’s just that things have been so frantic around here that I totally forgot. Several things have been going on that have disrupted both my […]
