Every day is a bit odder

Every Day V02 Another Day by David Levithan

by Leave a Comment

Reading some of the reviews on a well-know website known for having reviews, I found that I was not the only one who thought Every Day V02  Another Day by David Levithan had several weak parts. This is not a true sequel to Every Day but the companion of how the several months the characters A (a person who leaps into a person’s body for the day) and Rhiannon (high schooler) meet when A was in the body of her boyfriend, Justin, and the aftermath, […]

Every Day: The Graphic Novel by David Levithan

When you’ve worked in kids and young adult books as long as I have, you learn some “big names” of the biz. One I knew I never had to read (but probably should because they were good) was David Levithan. I recommended them on repetition alone. Therefore, when the opportunity came to read Every Day: The Graphic Novel I knew the Reading Gods were telling me to go for it. First, a graphic novel (a favorite reading genre for several years now) and second, David […]

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 […]
