Grown Up Thursday Review Victorian. Time Travel. Intrigued yet? Well, you should be because not only is it awesome, but also that’s essentially what Map of Time is about. It just toes the line at steampunk, though some might argue it easily falls into that category. And H.G. Wells is a main character! More literary…
Comic Con for the Young Adult Reader Part Two – Exhibition Hall Okay. This one is more difficult to describe if you have never been to Comic Con. But, if you know what you are doing, can be very, very rewarding. So, what is the Exhibition Hall? Well, it’s huge. I’ve never seen any pictures…
For some reason, I put off reading this book. I think it’s because I never actually looked at its summary, which is just silly of me. I liked the cover and then wrote it off as a thriller or suspense type book, which I usually don’t like. But no. It’s not. Well… it is. But…
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….
