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…
In the days leading up to our most wonderiferous trip to ALA last month I’m sure my friends got absolutely sick of…well…every word that came out of my mouth. See, there were three books that I simply HAD to get. Three books that would make or break the weekend. If I got these three and…

Caitlin: It’s going to be so hard to talk about this book because all I want to do is yell and scream and rant about the ENDING. Christine: Yeah, I’m pretty much going to be huddled in the corner, sobbing, during this entire review. So. Where to start. I guess the beginning? The Madness Underneath…
Christine: The Indigo Spell, the third book in Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead, came out yesterday and of course Caitlin and I were VERY EXCITED about it. Caitlin: Despite it being less than a year, it feels as if I’ve had to wait forever for this book. I don’t even think The Golden Lily ended in…
Okay. So. I loved The Goddess Test. Really. I thought it was great how it was inspired by Greek myths but didn’t feel the need to stick to closely to them. I loved the characters and the mystery and how not all the questions got answers at the end but we still weren’t left hanging….
