Okay I need to take a deep breath. Inside a paper bag. Because this book is like.. yeah. This was my single most highly anticipated novel of 2012. I’d been looking forward to it since.. well, maybe not that long compared to some people, but […]
Ashfall by Mike Mullin
This book is freakin’ scary. For some reason I wasn’t super incredibly excited to read it. I wasn’t unexcited, I just wasn’t looking forward to it the most. But wow, Ashfall has probably affected me the most out of all the books I’ve read this […]
False Memory by Dan Krokos
Wow! False Memory totally took me by surprise! I first read the blurb and was kind of iffy about it. I have no idea why because it sounds SO AWESOME! Elite force of genetically-altered teens? Uhh, totally cool! But for some reason the blurb wasn’t […]
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
I don’t know why the heck I put off reading this book as long as I did. It’s been on my desk for like a month and I guess I was intimidated by the size of it (nearly 450 pages!) and the hype. I didn’t […]
Blackwood by Gwenda Bond
Blackwood was an engaging and fast paced read! Gwenda Bond does a great job of holding back just enough information to keep the reader engaged and ready for more. The book is made up of playful language that puts the reader on the same level […]

Legend by Marie Lu
If you’re a cover whore like me, do not push this book aside because of the cover! There were at least 5 times where I saw a review or post about this book and just skipped over it because I thought the cover was dull, […]
The Perfect Cover (5) – Splintered
Wow.. this cover. I think my eyes might be in love. I absolutely adore the nature feel and the greens with the accents of bright red. The text totally compliments the wild, growing-out-of-control nature, with the swirly letters that look like crazy vines. The model […]
Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti
Susane Colasanti is amazing. I fell in love with Noelle on the first page. And that’s not an exaggeration. Noelle’s character has so much voice that I can literally feel her coming off the pages. She’s a teenager and she totally sounds like one! The […]
