Christine and I are going to Comic Con! It’ll be our third time! We’re very excited. There is so much at Comic Con this year for readers and fans of Young Adult Literature to be excited about. Panels, authors, publishers, announcements! I’m jumping for joy (in my computer chair) in excitement ….and sadness because of…
So, a friend of mine read my copy of this before I got a chance to and she thought it was okay but not nearly as good as Jackson’s other work. I think this helped me because I went into with lower expectations and ended up really enjoying it. Before her mother died, Shelby promised…
A friend of mine, Stacee, runs this blog where she details her adventures in going to author events and getting books signed. I love reading it because I love going to events and getting books signed. And I guess I enjoy inciting the green burn of envy in my veins because I read all of…
I thought I knew what this book was going to be about based off the summary. Oh, it’s another one of those “Freaky Friday” switch-a-roo books, I mistakenly thought. The only real reason I picked it up is because Roxanne St Claire wrote it as her YA debut novel. But I was wrong to force…
Remember this feature? Well, I’m bringing it back since I’ve been reading a lot more “adult” books that aren’t necessarily romance. Up first is… Amped by Daniel H. Wilson Technology makes them superhuman. But mere mortals want them kept in their place. Enter a stunning world where technology and humanity clash in terrifying and surprising…
I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Bosworth during the Fierce Reads tour and was glad that I was able to read Struck before the event. It was a fun, fast read with sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, and paranormal elements. But somehow they all worked very well together. Mia Price is a lightning addict. She’s survived countless…
There are certain subject matters I’ll always gravitate toward, and one of those is ghost love stories. It might have something to do with how I was exposed to Ghost at a very young age, or the fact that every single time Heart & Souls comes on, I have to watch it. I don’t know….
Yesterday I went to the Fierce Reads tour stop in Bellingham (and didn’t take a single picture because I fail at life!) and it reminded me that I hadn’t yet posted my review for Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. And I loved this book, a lot, so I wanted to post my gushing review…
Christine: I’m always nervous about reading second books in a trilogy. They can either disappoint you or live up to the first book, or on a very rare occasion, exceed expectation. While Goddess Interrupted didn’t exceed expectation, it did a good job trying to live up to the first book, which is hard to do…
I’m of the mind that summer books can be heart breaking. I know it seems perverse, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, hopefully waves are lapping at your feet and life is beautiful- so why would you want to read about heart fail? Well think of it this way, would you prefer your…
