The idea of abuse in a teenage relationship, for some, is a topic that never really comes up in thought or conversation. It is a serious issue, though. Teen dating abuse is just as serious and real as any other type of abuse. But I Love Him takes a hard look at this issue, from…
A few weeks ago Leiah reviewed Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren and it inspired me to buy/read the entire trilogy. Time travel and romance with knights? What’s not to love? Now that I am done I thought I’d do a review on the end of the trilogy (so far) and what I thought of the…
Last June Christine sent me a couple boxes full of books and ranted and raved about this ALA conference she’d gone to and pretty much I decided I had to be at the next. And, lo and behold, the next one was where Christine lived, so I could visit with my awesome friend and get free books….
Surprise, surprise! I’m reviewing a book that scared me because of its horrifying plausibility. I’m such a glutton for mental-punishment. This time the damage was caused by Megan Crewe’s chilling novel, The Way We Fall. It starts with an itch you just can’t shake. Then comes a fever and a tickle in your throat. A…
You wouldn’t think from the cover of this book that it has dragons. Lots of awesome dragons. But it does, my friends, it does. Oh yes. What else do you need? NEWSOUL Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences…
I’m not a big fan of angel books. I’ve read a few and, to be honest, the “angels” didn’t seem that “angel-like.” Angels aren’t human. Angels are terrifying beings that have the ability to turn you into salt, they aren’t “Edward with wings” who want to make out with cute teenagers, so when the buzz…
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel Grace has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. For the record, I cried…
I loved Angelfire! It had all the things great books should have, action, romance, mystery, fun, a car named Marshmallow. All the good things. So, I was so very, very, very excited when Wings of the Wicked arrived on my doorstep. And then I didn’t have time to read it FOREVER and I nearly died…
So, last January a book came out called Across the Universe. This book had a LOT of buzz. It was a sci-fi, romance, mystery…which sounded AWESOME! Plus whenever I thought of it I got a Beatles song stuck in my head. In short, I was very excited to read it. And, while I loved the…
It’s been noted by my blog partners that I like to read the scary books. This is a true statement. There is something about being terrified by the written word that I can handle much better than I can visually. It’s one of my quirks. Last year’s most scary read for me was Ashes, this…
