The Book Thief

I know.  I may have been the last person to read this book.  I heard so much about it and kept it on my must read list for months before I got around to putting it on my request list at the library.  What can I say?  I’ve got a really long reading list.  But [...]

Angelology

So I read this next book after seeing it at Borders several months ago.  I was so excited.  Something about the blurb on the cover intrigued me.  And I loved the cover art.  It was dark.  And, sometimes, you’re just in the mood for something a little dark.  The book is called Angelology and was [...]

The Poison Diaries

I am surrounded by piles of books.  And I love it.  I’ve got books in the to-be-read pile, and books in the to-be-reviewed pile.  I could read all day and all night and never get through all the books I want to read.  Seriously, someone pay me to read and write about books all day, [...]

The Knife of Never Letting Go

This next book is making me seriously consider the idea that I should stop saying I don’t like science fiction.  Because I say that a lot.  I like fantasy, generally urban fantasy, but I’ve never been much of a science fiction fan.  But maybe that’s not necessarily true.  Maybe I like science fiction if it [...]

Sea by Heidi R. Kling

Oh, I am seriously excited to tell you about this next book.  It’s one I read about on another blog some months ago.  After reading the glowing review, I read the summary and thought the book sounded interesting but also sort of like the same teen romance I’ve read over and over.  I didn’t run [...]

Designated Ugly Fat Friend: The DUFF

I heard some buzz floating around the blogosphere about this next book, The DUFF by Kody Keplinger. The reviews were a bit mixed, but I was intrigued.  And let’s be honest.  I sort of loved the title.  With a title like that, it had to be interesting.  So I put it on my must-read list [...]

The Hunger Games

I know.  I know.  I may have been the very last person on the planet to read this book.  And I confess, until about a month ago, I hadn’t even considered reading it.  I have no excuse, really.  I had heard all the hype.  But then I read the jacket cover and thought — no [...]

Liar

I finished this book a little over a week ago and have been staring at the cover every day, trying to decide what to say about it.  I wanted to tell you I loved it.  Except that I didn’t.  I think I really liked it.  But.  I sort of finished it feeling unsettled.  I wanted [...]

The Sky is Everywhere

I have yet another book to gush about.  Wow.  I’m on a winning streak when it comes to books these days.  It’s like everything I pick up is fantastic.  And this, well, it really is.  The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson is a heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting story about a girl who loses everything [...]

Paranormalcy

Paranormalcy.  Is that even a word?  It is now. I heard of this latest book, Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, for quite a while.  The name crossed my Twitter, blog and Facebook paths a number of times, and I was super excited to get my hands on it.  So excited, that when I decided to drive [...]
