My Thoughts: When I made my 2015 reading goal of reading one nonfiction book a month I knew Kids on Strike! was one of the books I wanted to get to. Somewhat embarrassingly, my desire to read it stems from one of my very favorite movies: Newsies! After recently re-watching the movie I wanted to know… Read more »
My Thoughts: I set a goal this year to finish at least one series a month in 2015. The Ascendance Trilogy was one of the three is finished in January. For some reason I am forever putting off reading these books. I am so glad I finally read this one. It was a fitting end to a… Read more »
My Thoughts: I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out where to start with this book. I’m no closer to figuring it out than when I started! The twitter version of my thoughts upon finishing: And that’s still where I’m at!! I have no idea how Heather Demetrios wrote such a beautiful story that… Read more »
My Thoughts: I’ve made no secret of my love for this series. Yelena is such an excellent character and Maria V. Snyder crafts such compelling stories! I didn’t want this series to end so I held off reading Fire Study (I’m weird like that!) I was over the moon when I found out ! wouldn’t have to… Read more »
My Thoughts: I am consistently impressed by Marissa Meyer! She is forever doing things I think I don’t like and proving me wrong! Reading about a cyborg? I thought, “meh” but she wowed me with Cinder. Following new characters in book two? I thought I only wanted more Cinder and Kai. Again, way wrong. Ohmystars, how I… Read more »

Not so The Story of Owen! It’s more like a ballad of olde in it’s style and treatment of dragons.Dragons are a pestilence and dragon hunters,… Read more »
My Thoughts: I read this one before the Morris finalists were announced. It was the November pick for the Forever Young Adult Book Club, but I had been meaning to read it before that anyway. I started reading it via audiobook but ended up reading a physical copy instead. The narration was good; the problem was timing…. Read more »
My review of book one, The Lonely Hearts Club Note: There are three short stories that take place between The Lonely Hearts Club and We Can Work It Out. The ebooks are free! I highly suggest reading them before reading We Can Work It Out. You totally don’t need to, but I really think it adds to the story. Learn… Read more »
My Thoughts: I just really love this book. Like, a lot. I love the family dynamic. I love the parallel universe aspect. I love the romantical bits. I love the fast pace. I love the mysterious circumstances. I love the science. I. Just. Love. It. Marguerite’s family is the coolest. Her parents are smart and quirky… Read more »
My Thoughts: Gayle Forman is an author I know and trust. If I Stay, Where She Went, Just One Day, and Just One Year are books that are just as powerful upon re-reading as they were the first time I read them. Needless to say I was thrilled to get an advanced copy of I Was Here at a book… Read more »
