So while reading up on LGBT writers, Alex Sanchez came up a
few times. While Rainbow Boys is one of his more popular novels, I chose to begin with Boyfriends with Girlfriends. Review and summary after the jump.

Rosemary's Baby- Ira Levin Reviewed
In honor of last week’s semi- entertaining miniseries loosely based on the novel, I thought I’d revisit one of my favorite horror books. I remember reading Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby for the first time when I was 14 years old. Kind of a young age for a book riddled with adult themes and scary sequences, but I was hooked on Levin and his works and would soon afterwards learn about his other wonderful novels. Summary and review after the jump

Light by Michael Grant-reviewed
It’s probably been just short of a year since I started with the Gone series. Michael Grant’s 6 volume young adult series practically had me from the start. Luckily all of the books had already been published by the time I started so I didn’t have to wait for new installments to come out ( I still have Harry Potter waiting trauma). I finally got the Light, the final installment last month, and started reading as soon as I could. Synopsis and review after the jump

The Man Who Was Thursday- Reviewed
So, sometimes I judge books by their cover- only in the
positive sense though- I may see a cover I really like and buy the book
regardless of it’s content. I really like the recent Penguin English Library
editions that came out a couple of years ago. I don’t have many, but I do have
this edition of G.K. Chesterton’s The Man
Who was Thursday. I finally got round to reading it. Synopsis and review
after the jump.
