I have been keeping an avid fan of this series ever since I was offered to read an ARC of it. Since I am a big fan of the Greek mythologies, I say why not? I have never been a big fan of Medusa, but after reading this series, I found a soft spot for her in my life. I watch (read) her grow through out this book, and being humanized by the...

Book Review: The Fairy-Tale Detectives; By Michael Buckley
I really need to stop giving great books several doubtful glances before I actually read it. That’s what happened here. I almost missed the chance to read this one. Geez, you think I wouldn’t waste a minute over a giant hand reaching out to two running girls through a forest scene on the cover. Would you? I should be curious! Anyhoo!...

*Note*
*NOTE* I can’t update as frequent as I should until my local ISP Telbru’s Espeed stop messing up and give me a stable connection rather than all this bullshit time outs every 5 seconds. Until they fix it, I can’t update much. =/ sucky!...

Being a librarian, and a school librarian, as my full time job, that pretty much gives me this huge opportunity to actually do promote Reading Culture to students. I can mold a limited budget supply (once a year, very limited) into giving them...
