Puck Chemistry Author: Ava Jackson Reviewer: Sophia Rose Rating: B What I’m Talking About: She's made a scientific breakthrough only to have the university shut her down; he's at the end of his career and struggling to stay in the game let alone go out with a win unless they can get some Puck Chemistry going.

How I ended up being an author... Writing a novel is hard. Don’t “Duh!” me, and don’t you dare quote that “writing is easy, you just sit at a typewriter and bleed” line. (Looking at you, Hemingway’s ghost.) Think about it for a second. Actually, think about it for several months, because that’s how long it’ll take. The amount of time that goes into research, planning and outlining the novel, preparing character sheets (which look suspiciously like D&D character sheets), and the endless cycle of writing, re-writing, and re-re-writing (re-re-re-writing?

The Séance Garden Author: Juliet Blackwell Reviewer: Sophia Rose Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: When a skeptic professor of the occult loses a bet and finds herself on a cheesy ghost tour, of course, they find a body buried under a witch tree in the yard of a house with a dark history where she sees something inexplicable. I’ve seen Juliet Blackwell’s books around and had every intention of trying one, but I found one set in old Monterey, California and oozing gothic atmosphere was just the book for me.
