I don’t even know where to begin with this one. I was very excited for Hunter’s story before starting this one. Excited for more world building and learning about the other side of things and all that. Plus I really liked the way Hunter was turning out in Spark. With power comes enemies. Lots of…
Christine was a big fan of Stacey Kade’s Ghost and the Goth series, so when I saw a copy of this at ALA I thought I would grab it for her. Because I am a nice friend. But then I forgot to send it to her because I am a bad friend. So then I…
Despite this books overwhelming presence at ALA Midwinter, I wasn’t excited at all. I’ve previously read about half of the Monstromologist (also by Rick Yancey) and while I was impressed by his writing style, I didn’t care for the characters at all. And…well, other things that made me put the book down.1 But a friend…
Guys! It’s my third Read-a-thon! Yay! And I’ve made myself a blanket nest and I’m currently snuggled into it with Princess Snapples. All is well. Find me on Twitter when I’m distracting myself from reading! And go here to find out more about the Read-a-thon and it’s long history. Now if only I could…
You ever have that thing where a friend posts a review of a book (or just talks to you about a book) and they have all these criticisms. And you agree with every single one of them. Except they really disliked the book and you really enjoyed the book. That’s what happened to me when…
First off, is anyone else completely stumped by the authors last name? I have spent the last five minutes staring at my computer trying to figure out how to pronounce it and my mouth doesn’t like it. Not at all. Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys; all the ones she doesn’t want. Ever…
On our sojourn down to Seattle for ALAMW earlier this year, we tried to stay for the Monday Hall opening…when the publishers give away all of their display copies! But we had to get back to Vancouver for various work and volunteer obligations. Except the nice people at the Little Brown booth had told me…
When I read This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith, I immediately fell in love. Not with the characters or the setting or the writing or the pretty cover or the love story or any of those normal things. I mean, I fell in love with those things as well, just not…
Clockwork Princess has finally made its way into our hot, desperate, fangirling little hands. As such, and as always when a book like this comes out, today I want to hear what everyone thought about Clockwork Princess. Are we sad? Happy? So filled with angst that our stomachs are bundled into nervous knots of OMG?…
The first thing you need to know about this book is the author’s first name is Rainbow, which I just can’t seem to wrap my head around. Do people call her Rain? Does she turn around when a child shouts ‘Rainbow!’ excitedly after seeing an actual rainbow? Did her parents know what they were doing…
