Rachel Reviews: Killing Lizards by William Boyd

Rachel Reviews: Eve and Me: The Shadow that Spans 3,000 Years by Karen Gilden
I love reading books about women and nothing pleases me more than discovering new female characters from history who have pushed the boundaries or been courageous in the face of hardship, all in the name of women's rights. And this is one of the things that Karen Gilden does in this book: she points her reader towards influential figures, a lot of them women (but not all) who have furthered the reputation of women or been proponents of the search for equality or even just been exceptional people (who happen to be women).

The Thief of Always - A Book Review
I must start this review in utter awe and amazement. Where on earth does Clive Barker get his imagination, and can I buy a bottled version of it? The Thief of Always is absolutely chock-full of fierce creativity, whimsical dread, and masterful storytelling. While it is technically intended for a middle-grade audience—as a few imagery-heavy scenes might be a bit too spooky for elementary schoolers—it is a fable that can be thoroughly enjoyed by readers of any age. It is a slim, punchy book that you can easily devour in a single rainy afternoon, though its sharp imagery, captivating story and poetic- like prose will likely linger in your mind for much longer.
