I’m torn between loving and despising this book. I don’t like to be tricked. And even though so many clues were given to me and I was expecting some of it, I was -to say the least, disgusted. It’s complicated. It’s destructive. It’s terrifying. ...

One of my best friends let me borrow her Monster Manuel when she was trying to recruit me to play Dungeons and Dragons with her. And although we still haven’t gotten around to doing that, I’m kind of obsessed with it now. I always like roleplaying games, but this takes...

You know how you see the synopsis for a book and instantly know you have to read it? Even if it is sure to break your heart? Double yes. Add this one to your list of heartbreakers, because it is spectacular. ...

I have seen Ever-After and loved it. I have seen the new Cinderella with Robb Stark and Bellatrix and loved it. That one with Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray? Love it. However, I honestly don't know if I've seen the entirety of the animated movie, because...

First off, let me just say that these are my favorite kinds of book. The ones that have you slowly rushing pages because you need to finish it. When you find your eyes jumping ahead, words jumping out at you that spoil or intrigue. ...

In the beginning, I was really uncomfortable reading State of Grace. It was awkward and too perfect. Teenagers with no limits or boundaries. No moral code. A disturbing utopia. One where a bizarre higher power controls peoples lives. And I was reluctant to get into it. The...

I’ll be the first to admit that I scare easily. Almost any small spooky thing will set my heart racing and my imagination running even faster. The same feeling I get when I’m about to do something dangerous or spontaneous or wild. (I guess that says a lot about me)....

OKAY. First off, I was all for this series. It was interesting and had a strong female lead. Also, Four. (need i say more?) THEN this book happened and I'm really not sure why it needed to be so long. ...

If there’s anything you’re going to take away from this book, or a few other Robin Benway books, is that family is number one. Always. (I really hope most of you can relate to that, because if not, it really breaks my heart). Many times, and I’m...

I don’t know what I originally read this book for. Maybe it was all those years ago when I was really interested in that side of the world. Asian culture, but mostly Asian food. Maybe it was that time I read North of Beautiful...

Whatever the opposite of a reading slump is, I’m in the middle of it. And I’m the opposite of complaining. I don’t want it to end, but I’m sure that ridiculous book is just over the horizon. But before I get...

This is one of those mindf*** books. The kind of book that you honestly have no idea what is going to occur. The one that makes you nervous for what is to come. Anxious and on the edge of your seat waiting for what you suspect may...

I can tell you the year I picked my very first Sarah Dessen book up off my cousin’s shelf. I can tell you where I was sitting when I finished it, awestruck and in love. I can also tell you that I immediately borrowed from friends and checked out from...

I like to think I’m fairly observant. (I have to be for my job). A pretty good judge of character. (Except with Hans from Frozen. Wasn’t expecting that). I can usually spot plot twists coming. (GONE GIRL). However, this book caught me off guard. ...

There is nothing I love more than a book with an actual plot. Or a book with drama and mystery. Or a book where the underdog rises up. Or a book with an array of interesting characters. Or...
