So, whenever someone asks me what this book is I always reply in with, “It’s a dystopian X-men.” Which, as I LOVE X-men is basically the best thing ever. Also, my favourite of the X-men is Rogue and the main character here has a similar problem to Rogue’s. All things considered I was beyond excited…
Hey guys! Today we’re hosting a Blog Tour for Shut Outand I got to interview the author, Kody Kelinger! Shut Out‘s blurb: Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it’s a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it….
This book was so not what I was hoping it was going to be. Though I can’t really explain what about my expectations was so very different from the actual book. I remember asking some friends I was chatting with while reading this “why am I reading this?” over and over. Sasha is desperate to…
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?…
