My Thoughts: I read Anna Banks Of Poseidon when it came out and loved the humor and storytelling in it. I was excited to see what she had in store for us with a contemporary story. Joyride packed more of an emotional punch but still had the humor I loved. The main character in this story has parents… Read more »
My Thoughts: Apparently I failed at reviewing Every Day by David Levithan. I loved it, so I’ll be incorporating my thoughts about that one in with Another Day. They’re companion stories… the same events/time period from two different perspectives. I’m always a bit leery of these. Often they just feel so similar and I end up skimming large… Read more »
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 »
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 »
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 »
