Five for Friday: Being a Book Blogger Newbie

The Oaken Bookcase has been open for three months now, and what a busy three months it has been! I still consider myself a total newbie in this, but I’ve read so many great books and met some lovely people along the way. I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned by chucking myself […]

Review: Dark Kiss, Michelle Rowen

Title: Dark Kiss (Goodreads) Author:  Michelle Rowen (@michellerowen) Rating: I don’t do dangerous.  Smart, über-careful, ordinary Samantha-that’s me. But I just couldn’t pass up a surprise kiss from my number-one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me…something strange. Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It’s like part of me is missing-and […]

Review: Birdie Down, Jim Graham

Title: Birdie Down (Goodreads) Author:  Jim Graham (@jimsgraham) Rating: The Outer-Rim rebellion stumbles into its second day …and in the wrong direction.

Ex-Resource War veteran, Sebastian Scatkiewicz and his colleague, Andrew ‘Birdie’ Goosen, have dared to take on the biggest […]

Review: Talisman of El, Alecia Stone

Title: Talisman of El (Goodreads) Author:  Alecia Stone (@Alecia_Stone) Rating: When 14-year-old Char­lie Blake wakes up sweat­ing and gasp­ing for air in the mid­dle of the night, he knows it is hap­pen­ing again.

Review: Cinder, Marissa Meyer

Title: Cinder (Goodreads) Author:  Marissa Meyer (@marissa_meyer) Rating: Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, the ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl… Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with […]

Review: The Six, K.B. Hoyle

Title: The Six (Goodreads) Author:  K.B. Hoyle (@kbhoyle_author) Rating: Darcy Pennington hates her life. She is an insufferably average teenager with no real friends, crushing social anxiety, and an indescribable sense of not fitting in anywhere. A change in her dad’s job forces her to attend Cedar Cove Family Camp the summer before her eighth-grade year, and Darcy once […]
