I stopped reading Exquisite Captive at the 20% mark. I’m just not that into you It’s not personal—Really. I didn’t hate you—Promise! I wasn’t ripping apart the pages. I just wasn’t that into you. …but it kind of breaks my heart. Jinnis are sooo cool! […]

Review: Landline by Rainbow Rowell
I feel a bit let down with Landline. On the one hand, I actually quite liked the book as I was reading it. It was an interesting story and I loved the idea of Georgie communicating with the teenage version of her husband. It was […]
Review: Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
Let’s clarify some terms Before we begin, I need to set down some terminology for my review. As you probably know, the book Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld is two books in one, told in alternating chapters. One story is that of Darcy, a soon-to-be-published YA […]
Review: Dissonance by Erica O’Rourke
Dissonance was: Interesting. The concept was pretty cool. A little confusing. There were pivot points, inversions, baroque events, and more. Just when I thought I’d be getting the hang of one term, another would be introduced, then I’d lose my grasp on BOTH of them. […]
Review: The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
The Queen of the Tearling was fantastic! It’s a perfect read if you’re into some high fantasy where you have a female who KICKS ASS! Kelsea, I swear fealty to you Kelsea was a fantastic main character. There’s nothing not to like about her. She’s […]

Tiger’s Promise by Colleen Houck
I’m bummed that Tiger’s Promise was only a novella; I could have read a whole book about Yesubai! I adored Yesubai’s story. It was inspiring, but tragic. There was a constant feeling of dread as I was reading the book (like “I think something bad […]
The One by Kiera Cass
Just like with the rest of the books in the series, I had almost a morbid fascination and obsession with The One. On the one hand, I absolutely hate the idea of a competition to become a bride. It’s disgusting. If I were America, I’d […]
Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel
In the beginning, I kind of liked Second Star. I felt really bad for Wendy and her family. I was really on her side—I supported her desperate attempts to find her brothers and her unwillingness to give up. And, at the beginning, I kind of […]
Renegade by Debra Driza
I feel like I’ve been saying this about every “middle” book I’ve read lately, but here it goes: MILA 2.0 was a pretty good book, but it also had that second book lull. Most of the problem was in the first three quarters of the […]
