Word Nerd Review: Renegade by Trisha Quezada *Graphic novel provided for review by Plough Publishing House Normally my reviews are on books that I’m reading already and you’re stuck with the genres and topics that I already know I like.

The Witchwood Crown (Last King of Osten Ard) by Trisha Quezada Technically, The Witchwood Crown is a continuation of the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series though it is set about 40 years after that series ends.

Word Nerd Review: The Breaking Light (Split City book 1) by Trisha Quezada I’m a sucker for the occasional romance novel (Hey, no judging!

Word Nerd Book Review: Blackflame – Cradle Series book 3 by Trisha Quezada I’ve been working my way through the Cradle series by Will Wight for about a year, reading each of them as they’ve been published and I just finished reading Blackflame, the third and most recent book.

Word Nerd Book Review: Monster on the Hill by Trisha Quezada I have small nerds. 2 of them! They’re 9 and 6, and while they love to read, I’ve found that this is a tough age when it comes to finding books that have a challenging enough vocabulary, but still have pictures or subjects that…
Romeo and/or Juliet and To Be Or Not To Be – Chooseable Path Shakespeareby Trisha Quezada Ryan North, of Adventure Time and Squirrel Girl fame, took some time out of his schedule to bring us two of the most entertaining books I’ve read in years.
