It's New Year's resolutions time, and here at The Honest Bookclub we are nothing if not resolute. We make bold, lofty promises. We aspire to greatness and world domination . We pledge to read our way through the Library of Alexandria on days off, and to write the Great American European Novel. And then w…

'Tis the season... to attempt to stick twelve Christmas trees in your living room and decorate them with a levitating charm. 'Tis also the season for owl post. Much as we hold out hope for Christmas letters with our initial(s) and a certain wax-sealed letter of admission into a certain magic school, once agai…

Happy first-night-of-winter, fellow snowflakes (because, let's face it, the day is short  here in the northern hemisphere on this date in particular)!

When we do, however, we make sure to devour them whole in a span of few hours, then proceed to flail about their deliciousness for at least a year.

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here.
