First Gwen Stefani, now Rapunzel? I do have to say, I love her style, especially that bathroom haircut and her final fight outfit with that fuzzy coat that I’m not going to tell you what it’s made of.
Station Eleven
The end of civilization, Shakespeare, and crazy cult people. I don’t know, I’m really tired right now. You can read my full review here.
Bellweather Rhapsody
It’s like The Shining mixed with an episode of Glee, except set in the 1980s. There is a high school music competition at a hotel where a terrible event happened, and weird stuff happens again on the anniversary of the event. You can read my full, more comprehensive review here.
This was so bad. Like, so very, very bad. I can’t even describe how bad it was.
I’m not sure I can express how much I hated Beautiful You, but I’ll try. I normally take any Palahniuk story with a grain of salt and tongue firmly in cheek, but this was just a bridge too far.

The really sad part is, I kept waiting for everything to turn around and […]

Four children have been murdered and the English community, rife with religious prejudice, blames the ghetto-ized Jewish community. Henry II is forced to step in and quarantine the Jewish people in a nearby castle. Lest they be lynched by the Catholic […]
An uneven, anti-climactic but still thought-provoking read about teenage sexuality and friendship.
This is more like 3.5 stars for me, mostly for the ending, which just fizzled out, after a strong beginning, strong middle, even strong leading up to the end . . . but the end was a nope. Rounding up though, because I’m just magnamimous like that. The Bermudez Triangle (I refuse to ackowledge its new title) follows Nina, Avery, and Mel, who have been best friends since they were small children. In the summer before their senior year, Nina goes away to a college […]
