First Grave on the Right Review -- Darynda Jones

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


If I could only say one thing about First Grave on the Right, it's that the main character Charlotte "Charley" Davidson is ROFLMAO, pee-your-pants, snort-and-snicker-in-the-middle-of-class funny. Her constant witty rema…

Wintergirls Review -- Laurie Halse Anderson

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Here's the deal on Wintergirls:

-The story is completely fascinating, with Lia's eating disorder and the whole concept of a "wintergirl." What wasn't fascinating, however, was how I wasn't actually lovin' the…

Stalled . . .

For the past day or so, I've just not been in the mood for reading. I've kind of stopped to smell the roses, and now I can't get enough of the fragrance, so I just cut one off and keep it with me at all times so I can smell it.
The rose hasn't died yet, but when it does, expect to s…

THE UNWANTEDS Review -- Lisa McMann

Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while leaving behind his twin,…

Crank -- Ellen Hopkins, and Dragon's Oath -- PC and Kristin Cast (Double Review!)

Both of these books are
's for me.

Kristina Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble. But on a trip to visit her absentee father, Kristina disappears and Bree takes her place. Bree is the exact opposite of Kristina -- she's fearless.
Man, it w…

DARKFEVER Review -- Karen Marie Moning (Wellllllll . . .)

Wellllllll . . . It was the next day.

(To be honest, frankly, I didn't want to write anything yesterday, let alone a review for DARKFEVER.) Today was different than yesterday, however, and I was in the mood for updating this site. So, here I am! I've got my review all written (it's on G…

A FREAKING UPDATE

(Subtlety isn't necessarily my forte.)

Hey, all! Just lettin' you know that I'm enjoying the heck out of DARKFEVER and I'll have a review up within the next few days. So, you know, you don't get antsy or anything waiting for me to finish, maybe, like, to the point where you just…

SURPRISE! NEED Series Review -- Carrie Jones

Dear Readers,
I lied.
SURPRISE! *confetti explosion*
I'm not actually going to be reviewing BITTEN by Kelley Armstrong, because I skimmed through it dazedly and didn't pay attention to it enough to write a coherent review for it. But, a series I've read recently is the NEED Series by Ca…
