Sorry blog readers, I’ve been seriously over-consumed by my  obsession with my current senior thesis about the Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials.    Anyways, I haven’t forgotten about this blog. Since the film adaptation of Warm Bodies is being released this upcoming Friday, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to re-post the link to an interview I conducted with…

    Clownish Scavenger                                                     Bodies Dumped daily outside    Bring me sweet, untainted warmth         Biding my time, I examine          Each ligament, every part…

        By now, I’m fairly certain that all my readers are more than abundantly aware of my Anne Rice fandom. If not,its very easy to peruse through my cache of past posts, and evidence my fervent appreciation for both her novels.     As a huge fan of her last novel, The Wolf…

   After my post yesterday about my re-read of Touch of Power, I thought to myself “Maybe, I’m being a little too unfair in my comparisons between Touch of Power and Poison Study.” I was comparing a book that I re-read more recently, and another series that I have much vaguer memories of. Before writing…

Shannon Hale’s Princesses are not just another derivative of “pretty, pretty” princesses Note: This book is not just geared for girls, though some insipid stigmas might tell you otherwise…..         Scoff if you want….the word “princess” has long been denigrated by others, and we cannot help but project this conventional image onto this book….

                Amazon (Kindle)/Barnes&Nobles (Nook)       The release of a new Maria V. Snyder is becoming a yearly event, and I’m one of those readers that keeps a close eye on both her “website” and emailed newsletters about any mention of upcoming new releases from her. I still…

Interview with Susan Heyboer O’Keefe, Author of Frankenstein’s Monster    Author’s Note: Its been awhile, and part of the delay stems from the fact that I’ve been resting for the last two weeks- I don’t think I’ve watched as much Carl Sagan’s Cosmos  at any other time in my life. I hope all you have had…

Review of Eve Mont’s A Breath of Eyre Amazon/Barnes and Nobles Disclaimer: Ignore the feminine cover and read it regardless of the targeted readership!    Of course, I started reading the book with certain preconceived notions, since it was a young-adult novel.  Lately,I have been a bit disillusioned with young-adult fiction, ever since the Twilight love-triangle become the predominant romance…

Blog Still Lives!!      Hi dear readers of A Bibliophile’s Reverie!     I apologize for the sparse number of posts here for the past few months. Unfortunately, my life has literally been barraged with far too many tasks that have taken away any time for book blogging. I am enjoying my busy semester nonetheless, along…

      Pie was their pride. The whole town of Pi had a whole festival, called the Pie Festival, where they celebrated the holiness of the pie one day of the year.    Some pies were rather holey, and had areas where the pie filling could be seen: delicious cherry filling or a tantalizing vanilla cream….

Zombie Princess                 Zombies have no idea what an oligarchy was, but their unrecognized notion of government was exactly that. It was a coterie of mindless flesh-eaters, arguing over who would get to eat the latest kidnapped victim. That is if you could call various octaves of incoherent grunting a type of arguing. They were…
