I loved this book. So much! It was so different from any other Angel book I’ve read. In fact, if the description/cover/etc hadn’t told me it was an angel book, I might not have even known. So, there’s this…spirit? I guess? Or soul or whatever. She doesn’t remember who she is, or where she’s from…

Twelve-year-old Kat Stephenson may be the despair of her social-climbing Step-Mama, but she was born to be a magical Guardian and protector of Society — if she can ever find true acceptance in the secret Order that expelled her own mother. She’s ready to turn the hidebound Order of the Guardians inside-out, whether the older…

Welcome to the second week of Pile of Shame, the fun meme where bloggers and readers come together to share what’s in their to be read pile. This meme was started by Caitlin of whatchYAreading and was greatly inspired by Kristi’s, of The Story Siren, In My Mailbox meme. Which I think was inspired by…

For some reason I started this book with the expectation that I wasn’t going to like it. Or that it was going to be inferior somehow. I’m not sure where this idea came from and it begs the question…why did I buy the book if I was so sure I wasn’t going to like it?…

Book Birthdays returns! Our first one of the new year…a day late… But whatever! I’m so excited for this month! There are so many fantastic looking books coming out! February 1 Light Beneath Ferns by Anne Spollen I have this strange sense that my silence is preparing me for something I can’t name . ….

Goblins seem more like a children’s plot, don’t they? Maybe I’m just too used to seeing faeries in every other book. Caitlin: To be fair, what this author calls…

As you might be able to tell from the Featured Authors section, I worship the ground Melina Marchetta walks on. She can do no wrong in my eyes. So, when a friend was going to Australia for Christmas I asked politely (read: DEMANDED) she bring me back a copy of the Piper’s Son. And then…

So, every Sunday, I love reading/watching  the dozens of IMM posts across the YA blogosphere. I’m not sure why, but I love seeing what people got in the mail and finding new books to look out for hearing people talk about the books they are excited to read. But I have never participated. Why? Because…

Angel books and dystopian novels seem to be my current weak spot. Although, based on the number of these being published right now, I don’t think I’m the only one with this weak spot. Wither was a dystopian. But it didn’t have to be. It could have been written as a fantasy, or as a…

This was so….I don’t even know if there is a word for it. Parts of it were beautiful, parts of it were ugly, and parts of it were uncomfortable. I’m not even sure I would classify it as YA. I got it from the YA section, and it is about two teenagers, but the style…
