That’s just the way it is, Things’ll never be the same

May 28, 2018 by kdm Leave a Comment

Considering all the hype that Angie Thomas’ debut novel has received, I honestly thought there was no way it could possibly live up to it.  I assumed it would be a good book, even a great one, but I didn’t really expect it to leave such a lasting impression or to inspire this level of soul-searching.  However, given the incredible reviews this book has gotten, I just had to pick it up and see for myself. Only a couple pages in, and I was hooked. […]

I don’t have to put up with this! I’m rich!

May 27, 2018 by kdm 4 Comments

I decided to step outside my comfort zone and pick up Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan in anticipation of the incredibly-cast movie coming out this year. (Constance Wu in ALL of the things!) After a brief prologue story to set up just how crazy rich these families are, we get to our main characters: Nick Young and Rachel Chu, enjoying their relatively simple lives in New York City.  Two professors at NYU (history and economics, respectively), they’ve been dating for 2 years when Nick […]

It’s a Tide ad.

A new year, a new Tingler.  (NSFW OBVS) What in seven hells possessed me to start this tradition?  But in fairness, how could I possibly resist THIS: So our story begins with Greg Henderson speeding down a desert highway, cool wind in his hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air. (I assume this applies to desert highways in Arizona as well as California).  As Greg hustles to get to a big car show, he makes sure to let the reader know that […]

I’d rather spend one minute holding you than the rest of my life knowing that I never could

July 7, 2017 by kdm Leave a Comment

I was wary of reading another YA romance-du-jour, as I find that some of them are just too cliché, though this could be a side-effect of not being in the target age demographic.  But I read so many absolutely glowing reviews for the movie adaptation of Everything, Everything that I had to check out the book first. And dude. DUUUUUUDE. This book is incredible.     The book starts by throwing you right into the daily existence of Madeline F. Whittier, as she describes her […]

Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!

June 18, 2017 by kdm 2 Comments

I’ll admit, I was late to the party – everyone was already gushing wildly about Rainbow Rowell, especially the YA love story Eleanor & Park, by the time I finally picked up one of her books.  There’s just something about THAT much effusive praise that makes me wary.  But then I read the blurb for Fan Girl, and I just couldn’t deny my interest anymore.  Of course, just as so many have fallen before me, once I read one of her books, I immediately had […]
