Last Friday, as I was walking past a teen display in Barnes and Noble, chasing my daughters down the aisle to check out, I literally stuck my hand out and grabbed a paperback copy of Gayle Forman’s IF I STAY. The name sounded familiar, but more than anything, the hauntingly beautiful cover mesmerized me. After […]
Last night, I read L.K. Madigan’s THE MERMAID’S MIRROR. This title was released at the beginning of October and I’ve been hearing about it for quite some time. I couldn’t wait to dive in–pun not originally intended, but I’m going with it–and read it myself. Besides a breathtaking cover, THE MERMAID’S MIRROR has a lot […]
I’ve said it over and over: I love Angels. They are my favorite paranormal creature. But that doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily love any storyline involving them . . . I’ve just gotten extremely lucky. My latest angel adventure is ANGELFIRE by Courtney Allison Moulton, which comes out February 2011. This is Ms. Moulton’s debut, a novel […]
I spent my morning catching up on a very interesting Twitter chat that took place last night. The topic was Book Review Bloggers. The discussion covered why certain bloggers review books, how they go about getting the books they review, and the potential benefit for the industry. One thing that was apparent is there are different […]
Sigh. One of my favorite series, Evernight by Claudia Gray, is coming to a close. But there is good news. The fourth and final book of the series, AFTERLIFE, meets all expectations . . . and then some. When we last left Lucas and Bianca, Bianca had been turned into a wraith and Lucas—the former […]
I was eagerly awaiting this sequel to Fallen by Lauren Kate, and was not disappointed. The world of paranormal suspense is fun to get lost in, and I enjoy it all. Vampires, fairies, werewolves, but in particular, I love me some fallen angels. And can you get better than Daniel . . . and Cam? […]
Lauren Barnholdt is one of my favorite authors. I am working through her list of fabulous books–and she writes it all: chapter, tween and teen–but my favorite is definitely Two-Way Street. First Some Backstory: I enjoy all YA books–paranormal, urban fantasy, dystopian, coming of age, novels in verse, romantic comedies, and contemporary. But within […]
For today’s review, I am going to do a two-fer. I am a HUGE fan of Simone Elkeles and own (and read multiple times) every book she has written. I actually studied Rules of Attraction this summer, breaking it down to teach myself more about the actual writing process. Perfect Chemistry was one of the […]
Wow! This book was impressive. This was 18 year old Kody Keplinger’s debut novel (although I think I read somewhere she was 17 when she wrote it). It has been called The Catcher in the Rye for this generation–and did you get the part that she is a teenager?? The Duff stands for Designated Ugly […]
I love Jenn Echols! I have read all of her books and will review them all on here at some point, but this is her latest. It came out July 20th and I am ashamed it took me this long to purchase it. Forget You is a YA contemporary romance filled with the usual Echols […]
