Review: Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone #1) by Laini Taylor

Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone #1) by Laini Taylor I got this book from Kay @K-Books for my birthday Blurb from Goodreads: “Errand requiring immediate attention. Come. The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. ‘He never says please’, she sighed, but she gathered up her things. When Brimstone called, she always came.” In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she’s a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature […]

About Me # 2: Writing Reviews

These reviews were just a few sentences of what I thought about the book. I thought it was nice to help other people decide whether this was a book for them or not. […]

Trailer Reveal: Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn

So this is the first time I actually participate in a trailer reveal. The trailer reveal of Open Minds. I guess it’s very similiar to a cover reveal, only then with a trailer. With the help of over 20 cast and crew members, award-winning director Beth Spitalny has brought the concept of the bestselling Mindjack Trilogy to life on the screen. You can also watch the trailer on YouTube ! I do have to say it is very different than I expected. It doesn‘t has the same feel as the book, but I do like how in the trailer you […]
