Going into this book, I knew it had the potential to be preachy. After all, it’s a book whose main character is struggling with her life and is given the opportunity to change it to almost anything she wants. Immediately, you know that there’s going to be an attempt at being deep, at having sincere lessons or insights thrown in the reader’s direction. But somehow, … Continue reading Reading Material
I considered not writing a review for this book because I don’t want to give anything away, and the only way to truly explain why I love this book is to write about all of it. I’m going to do my best, though. This is one of my go-to holiday books. I’ve been reading this book once a year for at least the last 7 … Continue reading Simple Traditions
“Tick-tock. Welcome to the Clock.” Holy cow, this book. At first, I thought this was just going to be a random fantasy novel, complete with monsters and magic. And I was still willing to read it, because I wanted to know more about Lucy. Okay, I also just wanted to finish a darned book. Ya happy?

I’ve enjoyed the Peter Pan story, though I’ll be honest that I’ve really only seen the films/musicals. Disney’s Peter Pan, Hook, Peter Pan the musical, Finding Neverland… I own the book based on the play by J.M. Barrie, but I haven’t gotten around to reading it. I thought this book would be an interesting take on the story, and having read things like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I was game for a different take.
Boy, was I WRONG. Spoilers ahead, because I can’t talk about this book without going into details.
I ended up choosing two books for October’s Book of the Month – one that will probably be a bit more thriller-ish, and this one. After spending about a month reading a book that was pretty thought provoking, and, dare I say, depressing and dark, I needed something that was going to be light, fun, and fast. After all, I need to get through my Goodreads challenge, and I’m really, really behind. 🙂 And so, I ended up reading The Ex Hex in about 2.5 days. Potential Spoilers ahead…
