I LOVED Rampant, so very, very much. It had kick ass girls, awesome killer unicorns, and didn’t stray away from hard subjects. The main characters would talk both about the right time to have sex and the morality of killing an endangered species. Even if said species was eating a couple of humans. So, needless…

And now we bring ourselves to the third book in the Penguin Five. I must say, I’m loving the Penguin Five. In fact, I’m just loving Penguin. They’ve done such awesome things with the marketing for these books. I hope we get a Penguin Five 2011. I loved so many things about this book that…

Before I even talk about these books, I just have to say that Sarah  Rees Brennan is 1) Completely adorable and 2) so funny I almost peed my pants listening to her stories on the Smart Chicks tour stop in Jackson, Mississippi (yes, I drove seven hours round trip to be able to meet some…
