Lynn’s Review: The is the second book I’ve read recently with tarot cards as major plot line. (Read my review of Book of Speculation here.) The two books are completely different, however. Starting with the fact that I actually enjoyed Poison Princess. Instead of reading the cards and family curses, the characters in Poison Princess […]
Julie’s Review: What a ride. For those of you not familiar with this series, it is absolutely frightening because of how realistic it feels while reading it. This type of thing feels like it really could happen and that makes it so dark and so eye opening. It really makes you think about the horrible […]
Lynn’s Review: Is it odd that I’ve recently read an alternate history book and a book about a girl pretending to be a boy? And Leviathan had both. Let’s start with the format review: Julie listened to the audio. But I read a hardcover copy of the book. With all the amazing drawings […]
Julie’s Review: Unwind caught me by surprise and blew me away. Seriously, it tackles a very sensitive topic head-on (abortion) and creates a scary world where unwanted children can be “storked” (abandoned on someone’s doorstep) and can later be “unwound” rather than aborted. Unwinding is taking someone apart organ by organ to use for transplants […]
Lynn’s Review: If you haven’t already read it, you can read Rose’s review of Ten Tiny Breaths here. One Tiny Lie is the second in this series. Livie is the main character here. She’s always had her life together, big plans, no parties, no boys. And then, Livie goes to her first college TOGA […]
Lynn’s Review: Have you ever wondered why so many different ancient cultures have myths about dragons? Did you think after reading Jurassic Park that velociraptors that hunt in packs are tame? Do you need a genre break from all the romance books? If you answered yes to any these questions, read The Great Zoo of […]
Julie’s Review: So I really hate that I’m even writing this review because of how much I love this author and her previous works. I’ve just about loved all her books I’ve read in the past so I’m quite sad that this one didn’t do it for me. But, I think it is […]
Julie’s Review: Uglies is a pretty good dystopia where at age 16, everyone gets an operation to make them pretty – as opposed to the uglies they are now. I liked that the novel explored what we as people think is beauty (symmetrical faces, little body fat, etc) but also explored the truth behind the […]
Julie’s Review: Maybe Someday is such a unique experience. It has to be the first book I’ve ever read (or really heard of) with its own soundtrack! Yes, that’s right, the amazing Griffin Peterson (you know, the yummy musician who posed for the cover of Losing Hope) has written some really cool songs for this […]
Julie’s Review This will be more of a mini-review since this was a mini-read. I LOVE Colleen Hoover’s writing style. It flows so effortlessly, and it reads so well. I read it on the plane, sitting next to my co-blogger who was also reading it. Yep, that’s how we roll. Every time she laughed out […]
