My Thoughts: I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book since reading The Diviners in September of 2012. It can be a bit scary to read a book you’ve been waiting years for. There’s always the fear that it will be disappointing or that you won’t be able to get back into the story… Read more »
My Thoughts: So, The Truth About Forever was the last book featured for the Sarah Dessen summer read along and I totally missed reviewing it! I love this one so I still wanted to post my thoughts (even if it is late!) This won’t be a typical review… just some of the things that make The Truth About… Read more »
Yesterday I received an email from Random House about new YA program called First in Line. It sounds really interesting so of course I want to share the info with you. Here’s what I know about it directly from the email: Members receive a monthly newsletter and access to locked sections of the site. This will include… Read more »
My Thoughts: This book is a companion to Wildlife, which I finally read earlier this year. It takes place before Wildlife, but was published after in the US. Even though I read them out of order, I really enjoyed them both. I do wish I had read this one first. Some events of Wildlife are a bit spoilery for Six Impossible Things…. Read more »
My Thoughts: I super loved My Life Next Door back when I read it in 2012. I just loved getting to know the Garrett family. So, I was pumped when I heard Huntley Fitzpatrick’s next book would be a companion to it. More Garretts!! Also, more Tim! I loved how his character changed over the course of… Read more »
My Thoughts: This is the third and final book in The Superlatives series. It started with Biggest Flirts, which I liked. Next there was Perfect Couple which I liked even more. And now we have my favorite, Most Likely to Succeed! This one has the same fun flirty feel with a little something deeper that I love from… Read more »
My Thoughts: Never Always Sometimes is a quick and enjoyable read overall. There were a couple things that bothered me at the beginning/middle but by the end they had been handled in a way that left me feeling satisfied. (NOTE: These things were more personal preference issues rather than plot/writing issues!) I really loved the idea… Read more »
So, yesterday I got two pretty amazing packages in the mail from Lionsgate (makers of the Insurgent movie!) I knew something was coming in celebration of the release of Insurgent on DVD/Blu-ray and #FOURDAY but I had no idea what. It was basically like Christmas in August! First, there was a letter about the package and a black box… Read more »
My Thoughts: I was familiar with the term “Typhoid Mary” and knew a very basic bit about where it came from. This book filled in a huge knowledge gap for me. And the best part? It did it in a quick and interesting story! Terrible Typhoid Mary: A True Story of the Deadliest Cook in America has multiple… Read more »
My Thoughts: Holy crap. That was emotional!!! I was a wreck after finishing this book and I’m only now feeling able to write about it. This will be brief since I don’t want to spoil the story! As I said in my review of Something Strange and Deadly (and A Darkness Strange and Lovely!) the undead freak me out… Read more »
