First off, is anyone else completely stumped by the authors last name? I have spent the last five minutes staring at my computer trying to figure out how to pronounce it and my mouth doesn’t like it. Not at all. Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys; all the ones she doesn’t want. Ever…
On our sojourn down to Seattle for ALAMW earlier this year, we tried to stay for the Monday Hall opening…when the publishers give away all of their display copies! But we had to get back to Vancouver for various work and volunteer obligations. Except the nice people at the Little Brown booth had told me…
When I read This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith, I immediately fell in love. Not with the characters or the setting or the writing or the pretty cover or the love story or any of those normal things. I mean, I fell in love with those things as well, just not…
Clockwork Princess has finally made its way into our hot, desperate, fangirling little hands. As such, and as always when a book like this comes out, today I want to hear what everyone thought about Clockwork Princess. Are we sad? Happy? So filled with angst that our stomachs are bundled into nervous knots of OMG?…
The first thing you need to know about this book is the author’s first name is Rainbow, which I just can’t seem to wrap my head around. Do people call her Rain? Does she turn around when a child shouts ‘Rainbow!’ excitedly after seeing an actual rainbow? Did her parents know what they were doing…

If you’ve seen Memento, you might have a slight idea how jarring it would be for a person’s memory to be wiped every night. Now, London’s condition is not nearly so severe as that lead character’s is in the movie since hers comes with a surprising twist (and no need for tattoos covering her body)….
Congratulations to last week’s giveaway winners, Andrea and Meg! (Yeah, I decided to have two winners, just because.) These are the books available to select from this week: Middle Grade The Templeton Twins Have an Idea ARC by Ellis Weiner (The Templeton Twins #1) Laddertop, Vol 1 by Orson Scott Card (SIGNED) Young Adult *NEW Ripper ARC…
I picked this book up with mixed feelings. I’ve not been a fan of Claudia Gray’s writing in the past. I thought Evernight was rather silly and didn’t bother with the rest of the series. But this one is about witches! So. I had to. Obviously. When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly…
This book was rough going. I don’t know why I’m drawn to these books about people going through horrible ordeals. Maybe it’s the train wreck mentality, or how I’ve been programmed to perceive such things as ‘entertainment’ and ‘news’ all mixed into one (thanks, media!), or maybe it’s the fact that I need to know…
