The Fault In Our Stars Movie Review

The Fault In Our Stars Movie Review

Description: Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel’s other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in […]

Splintered Review

Splintered Review

 Julie’s Review: Splintered is kind of hard for me to review because I both found it unique and exciting, but at times a little overwhelming. Maybe that’s why I only rated it 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the premise and thought the idea to have the modern day retelling be centered around the descendants of Alice […]

Shadow and Bone Review

Shadow and Bone Review

 Julie’s Review: I met the author Leigh Bardugo at the Houston Teen Book Con in 2013. I got the hardback of Shadow and Bone signed then! Unfortunately, I just didn’t get around to reading it. I know, bad me! So I finally decided to buy the audible version so I would finally get to experience […]

Ignite Me Review

Ignite Me Review

 Julie’s Review:   Let me just start out by saying that blurb is misleading… “Heart stopping?” No. “Thrilling?” No. “Shocking?” No. “Satisfying?” Yes. I loved the first two books in this series. LOVED Juliette and Adam in book 1, and LOVED even more having Warner get redeemed and all the feels of the triangle. But […]

Every Day Review

Every Day Review

 Rose’s Review:   This book was unique, which I appreciated. This book was thought provoking and made me ask questions of myself, which I also liked. Starting every day out on a new day, with a new main character? Did NOT like. The story is told from the first person narrative of A.  A is […]

Secrets and Lies Review

Secrets and Lies Review

 Julie’s Review: Well this book was one intense ride let me tell you. We learned so many secrets about Cassie’s family and why she was disowned as well as some more family history. We even got a glimpse into why she might not have magic, and who might be responsible. Just, WOW. What a trip. This book […]

Enders Review

Enders Review

 Julie’s Review: Reading Enders was a struggle for me. I started out reading the e-galley, but put it down around 20% or so. Then I just didn’t pick it back up for quite a few months. Eventually I decided I have other books with higher priority to read with my limited sit down and read […]

Unravel Me Review

Unravel Me Review

 Julie’s Review: I can’t even begin to gush about how much I enjoy Tahereh Mafi’s writing style in this series. I loved Shatter Me, and really feel the same way about Unravel Me. Like in the first book, the writing was excellent. There are so many good quotables and really unique imagery in this book. […]
