A good young adult book that I probably read too late in life.

I’m rounding down on this one for now, after weeks (months) of letting it sit in limbo because I couldn’t make up my mind how I felt about it. But this is a true 3.5 star book right here. Parts of it I loved and found very funny and charming and parts of irritated the hell out of me. The ending is very heartwarming and the characters are ultimately lovable. I think I might have just missed my window on loving this one. Too bad, […]

An unnecessary sequel?

Dash and Lily met through a red moleskin notebook filled with dares. They egged each other on, two strangers galavanting around New York at Christmas time. They got to know each other through their writing, until their bit of fun turned into romance. The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily picks up a year after our couple met in Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, and after an initial courtship straight out of a Rom-Com the real world has slammed into them, hard. Lily’s beloved […]

Okay, so…this book was really not very good. In fact it was sort of ridiculously bad. But it was enjoyably so. I read the first half of it while getting a pedicure, and it was absolutely perfect for that sort of activity, if that tells you anything. “Easy things are worthless… It’s the hard things that matter. Those are the things worth leaping for…If we don’t fight other people’s curses, what are we left with? Just a swift fall to the earth, and where’s the […]

Please note that I gave this book zero stars, however, I rounded it up to 1 star here.  I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Insta-love square.  This is going to be a bit ranty so I apologize in advance. I loathed this book. From beginning to end. I can’t believe that a movie that I enjoyed spun off from this source material. I think at one time I wonder how many times Nick said the “f” word and decided I was too lazy […]

Jellies aside, I’m not a huge fan of The Zeppo. But I really liked this Patrick Ness book.

Strange that I read these two books back-to-back. I didn’t intend to. I borrowed The Rest of Us Just Live Here from a friend, and picked up Geektastic at the library on a whim — the covers looked so similar, I just couldn’t resist. I’m glad I read Geektastic first, because I was so disappointed in it, that Patrick Ness couldn’t help but make me feel better. Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd should be amazing. Its a collection of short stories from authors I […]

Caitlin_D wrote a review for this one like, 24 hours after I picked it up from the library. Her review was pretty meh, but I already had the book so I figured I might as well read it. And I felt pretty meh about it, too. “I’m ready to lose myself, but I’m not ready to lose you. I’m ready to find myself, But I’m not ready for you to know what I find.” You Know Me Well alternates between two teenage narrators: Kate, who’s about […]
