I don’t have a good intro for this one. Other than thanks to Penguin Young Readers, ALA and Comic Con for hooking us up with advance copies. The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But…

When I first read about The Predicteds, I thought I had it figured out. I dropped it into a category, thinking ‘it sounds like Minority Report‘. But oh, how wrong I was. Because while the premise is similar, The Predicteds is unlike anything you’ve read or seen before. Your future is not your own… “We wanted to…

Recently I read two books that I really, really loved. But they don’t come out until January 2012 and I wanted to wait until closer to the release before posting a proper review of them. But on the flip side, I do enjoy building buzz and also writing reviews when the read is fresh in…

I was really excited for this book. I’m not even sure why. I hadn’t heard of it previous to going to Comic Con but when it was talked about at the HarperCollins panel I decided it must be mine. Luckily they were giving out copies on Sunday so I snagged one. (Though I didn’t have…

Fall is almost upon us (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) and there is nothing I love to do more when autumn blows in than curl up with a blanket, a mug of hot cocoa, and a good book. I have chosen five books that I consider to be “must-reads” for fall, and here they…

I’ve been reading a lot of Very Serious Books lately. Heavy issues, heavy prose, and heavy thoughts. These reads are wonderful and can teach us so much and give us insight into experiences that we would never be able to experience otherwise. They can also be very taxing on you after awhile and that’s where…

Christine: I adore Jackson Pearce. Honestly, if you watch even one of her vlogs, you’ll feel the same way. She’s just so cute and perky and her dog is possibly the cutest dog EVER. So of course I have to read everything she’s written. How can someone be so adorable and NOT write great stories?…

Some of you might not know that I’m a NSYA (Not So Young Adult). It’s true and I did it. You know, that thing adults do when they worry about “the kids.” I did it while reading Ashes, by Ilsa J. Bick. I lost myself in reading this story and then somewhere about halfway through, I…

Kicking off the blog tour of The Predicteds by Christine Seifert, I got the chance to ask Christine (great name, btw) a few questions about her debut book and some other things I was interested in knowing about her. 1) The Predicteds sounds amazing. Where did the idea for it come from? Thanks! I hope…

If you haven’t heard of  Scars, you need to read the summary below because it’s an intense ride through Kendra’s traumatic and painful path to finding some even ground to stand on. Kendra, fifteen, hasn’t felt safe since she began to recall devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse, especially because she still can’t remember the…
