Maybe I’m out of the loop or just plain oblivious, but I had no idea that Nancy Drew was still alive and kicking. I thought her reign as Queen Teen Detective had ended ages ago… Apparently not. She’s been around in graphic novel form for a few years now… Huh…who’d have thunk it. Now, I’ll […]
5 out of 5 stars. Lee Nichol’s Deception is a read-in-0ne-sitting kinda book. Eerie, exciting, and in possession of a truly Swoon-Worthy Guy, this is a great twist on paranormal YA. Emma is home alone after her parents run off to visit her brother, and her antique-shop house is getting kinda creepy… Weird visions and […]
I thought it’d be fun to hear your opinions on something that I hold very near to my heart: Good-Looking Guys Yeah, I know you were probably expecting something profound or life-altering, but I’m not a very profound person and my life is pretty static.
5 out of 5 stars. At a LTWF contributor’s suggestion (Savannah Foley’s), I picked up Max Brook’s World War Z. And then I didn’t put it down until I had finished it. It was that amazing; that terrifying; and that real. Nightmares-for-days real. Planning-my-own-zombie-escape-route real. I-can’t-comprehend-such-creativity real. The book is told as a series of […]
5 out of 5 stars. After a commenter (Thanks, Laura!) suggested Rachel Hawkin’s Hex Hall, I promptly got my hands on a copy. And oh boy! I read the whole book that same day — it was FANTASTIC. And now I’m stuck waiting for the sequel… Le sigh. After a love-spell-gone-wrong, Sophie gets sentenced to […]
5 out of 5 stars. I decided as a LTWF contributor, I really ought to read one of Mandy Hubbard‘s books (since she’s a fellow contributor). Based on the positive buzz everywhere, I expected her young adult novel You Wish to be entertaining . What I did not expect was to LAUGH CONSTANTLY. Or to […]
5 out of 5 stars. I finally read Kiersten White’s Paranormalcy, and I finally learned what the hype is about. IT’S AWESOME. The main character is just so lovable — you can’t end up adoring the book too! Evie, a spunky teenager with a pink taser named “Tasey”, has the ability to see through paranormal […]
