For the Summer of Sarah Dessen I’m posting reviews of all her books that I haven’t reviewed yet. This week’s book is Dreamland. You can see when each book is featured in this graphic from Penguin Teen: My Thoughts: It’s been said that Sarah’s newest book Saint Anything is her “darkest” book to date. I disagree. I think Dreamland… Read more »
My Thoughts: I have been eagerly anticipating another YA novel from Carrie Ryan since she wrapped up the The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy. I mean, I adored The Map to Everywhere (middle grade written with her husband!) but I couldn’t wait to get my hands on something a little “older.” And my, oh, my! Did Carrie… Read more »
So, Penguin Teen is doing this super awesome summer of Sarah Dessen! I re-read all her books prior to reading Saint Anything (and then I re-read that one within a month of reading it for the first time!) I won’t be reading along this summer but I think it’s an excellent idea! I’ll be… Read more »
My Thoughts: I cannot believe I waited so long to read this one! Honestly, I was totally intimidated by it. So many people were so in love with it. Could it live up? What if I didn’t love it? Would people still be my friend?!?! That might be a little drastic but you get the… Read more »
My Thoughts: As a reader of fantasy novels I was super excited for this one! I’d been hearing all kinds of great things. An Ember in the Ashes did not disappoint. One of my favorite parts of any fantasy novel is getting to know the world in which the story takes place. This was especially interesting… Read more »
My Thoughts: I had so much fun reading Meredith Zeitlin’s first YA book, Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters that I just couldn’t wait for this one! It’s a companion to the first book but follows a completely different character. One of my favorite parts of Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters was the humor. I was so… Read more »
My Thoughts: If you follow me on twitter or have been reading this blog for some time you probably know I’m a Sarah Dessen fangirl. I just adore her novels. Back in 2011 I co-hosted a Sarah Dessen week (which was so much fun!) At that time I did a post about the connections in… Read more »
My Thoughts: This book came out of nowhere for me. I hadn’t heard anything about it before getting an email about being on the blog tour. It sounded interesting so I decided to give it a chance. I am so glad I did! I have to admit, I almost didn’t read this one. I really wasn’t… Read more »
My Thoughts: I am just so in love with these books. I put off reading this one because I didn’t want to admit it was over! I love this world that Jessica Spotswood has created. Alternate history is just the best! And, oh man. After the way Star Cursed ended? I wasn’t sure I could handle this… Read more »
My Thoughts: I loved Will Grayson, Will Grayson oh so very much. And Tiny Cooper? He just steals the show! I mean, why is Tiny Cooper not a real person?!? Seriously. I just want to be friends with him. Obviously I wanted Hold Me Closer to be a real thing when I first read Will Grayson, Will Grayson…. Read more »
