I'm trying to catch up with some book reviews, it's sometimes hard to find time to actually sit and get my thoughts together after reading a book, so I usually put it off. I would take notes, but my reviews aren't extensive anyway, so I'd rather refrain from doing that. In the meantime, I'll do … Continue reading Guilty Reader Tag
I cannot get over how amazing this book was! It covers some tough, but very real issues including racism, bullying, sexual orientation, perfection, and of course, the act of a school being bombed. Each character has some sort of problem that readers can easily relate to. We've all had to deal with at least one … Continue reading Time Bomb – Review
I'm a huge fan of books that include cooking, boarding schools, and Paris (or anything French!), so naturally, I was immediately interested in this book when I first saw it. I'm very glad I picked it up and that it didn't sit on my shelf too long before I decided to read it (as most … Continue reading Love á la Mode – Review
Aliens from Arapholanx took me on an adventure in the Earth's underground! I really felt like I was on Patrick's adventure alongside him and his comrades. And although Patrick is the main character of the story, you get to see what goes on in other places from time to time, which really helps to understand … Continue reading Aliens from Arapholanx: the Birth of a Rebellion – Review
So I have seen this Book Blogger Confession Tag in my feed and I decided to give it a go. I'm trying to find ideas to blog that aren't reviews and tags seem like a good way to introduce myself into the book blogger community. With that said, here we go! WHICH BOOK, MOST RECENTLY, … Continue reading Book Blogger Confession Tag
I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud so much while reading a book! I loved Norris' brand of sarcastic humor, and he's not afraid to direct it at himself either. He's so snarky and I just loved his entire demeanor (granted, I'm a very sarcastic person, so Norris felt like my long-lost brother). … Continue reading The Field Guide to the North American Teenager – Review
Standing By is an excellent teen/ya novel that's great for any age! It's told in alternating points of view (like a lot of ya novels), but I found that I could really relate to these characters with some of the things they go through with their friends, family, and their emotions. Like Eric, I myself … Continue reading Standing By – Review
What makes this poetry collection great is that it is relatable. Lanuza talks about relationships, heartbreaks, self-healing and love, discovery, and more emotions/stages we go throughout our lives. Her poems are easy to read - none of that advanced, old-English language that usually turns people off from poetry. You can tell that these poems really … Continue reading You Are Here – Review
If you work in a library, especially a public one, this book is for you! My best friend and I both work in a library and we found I Work at a Public Library relatable to some of the crazy experiences we've had over the years, and we know that they will not be ending … Continue reading I Work at a Public Library – Review
This is one of those moments when judging a book by a cover bit me in the behind. This was not at all what I expected it to be. The structuring of the story was a little complicated with the constant flashbacks, prolonging the actual events of what the story was really about. It took … Continue reading The Last Best Story – Review
This was a great book to kick-off my summer reading! I loved the whole Italian experience that came with this book and it has me wanting to get a plane ticket and just spend the next few months in Italy! Heck, I felt like I was there - it was written beautifully! I loved getting … Continue reading Love & Gelato – Review
Two Can Keep a Secret was as good as McManus's first book, One of Us is Lying! Once again she told the story through the perspectives of the main characters, Ellery and Malcolm, and in a suspenseful way that kept me guessing right until the end! Only this time, I didn't figure out who the … Continue reading Two Can Keep a Secret – Review
Someone will ask me to describe myself and the first thing I tell them is I’m a bibliophile. It's most likely that you are too, if you're reading this blog. That's probably what brought you here in the first place, am I right? However, when I say this to someone, I'm often met with this … Continue reading Bibliophile Defined
