Boy oh boy did I not enjoy this book. It was very clearly a debut novel. There was too much going on. Too many characters that we followed. Passages of poetry that didn’t move the story forward and didn’t seem to connect to the characters. Yes I realize that Tim, the main character, is a …
I don’t know why but I had a hard time getting through this book. I usually enjoyed it when I was reading but I just couldn’t get myself to sit down and read it. In fact, I read an entire different book in the middle of reading this one, which I rarely ever do. I …
I have scoffed at the idea of this since I heard it existed. “Zombie Archie? Why do we need that?” But, after reading Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I decided that I needed to give Afterlife with Archie a try. And boy is it silly. Well, and a bit scary. But mostly silly scary. After the interesting plot …
Holy crap. This book was intense. And it reminded me of how truly terrible teenagers can be. Joelle Charbonneau’s teenage thriller took me on quite the adventure. I was actually incredibly angry when I looked at the clock and realized that I had to go to work because I NEEDED ANSWERS. I always judge a …
Years and years ago I read Running with Scissors and decided that I needed to read everything ever written by Augusten Burroughs. And then I promptly got distracted by other books and haven’t read a book of his since. When Lust & Wonder came out, my interest in his books returned but, since I didn’t have a copy …
I had no idea that this book existed but, the second I learned of its existence, I had to read it immediately. I was a huge fan of the TV show “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” as a kid (and have watched it on and off as an adult) and so I was incredibly entertained by …
This book ripped my heart out of my chest and made me cry tears onto it. It upset me to no end but I loved every minute of it! I’m also not sure how to talk about this book without giving stuff away so this review is mostly going to just be my emotions about …
I love love love love Stephanie Strohm and couldn’t handle my excitement when the galley for this book arrived. When I heard that Stephanie was writing a sequel to It’s Not Me, It’s You, I thought that she must be a little crazy. That book was awesome and the format was cool and unique. How could …
I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did so oh boy was this a surprise. I saved it for the end of my YA Fest reading because I assumed it would be a light, fun read following all of the incredibly heavy books I read for the fest. What I …
Wow. This book was a completely delightful awesome surprise. When it arrived in a galley box, it immediately caught my attention with the cover. When I read the description and saw that it was about a family of psychics, I knew that I had to read it. This book was better than I could have …
When I first started working at a bookstore, I decided that I was going to be really into psychological thrillers. And so I read and read and read them and then stopped and thought to myself, Why did I decided I needed to be this kind of reader. I really wasn’t enjoying what I was reading. …
Reading The Castle in the Mist took me back to when I was a kid discovering the magic of reading. In a world of children’s book filled with crazy amounts of face paced adventure, post-apocalyptic worlds, and extreme fantasy worlds, this story takes us back a beautifully simpler time. The Castle in the Mist follows the adventures of …
