I want to be Tiny Cooper’s BFF so bad.

December 19, 2014 by bonnie 1 Comment

I really wish this book had been around when I was in high school. I felt ugly, awkward and unlovable. I never knew how to just be with my friends, and I felt kind of awkward in my own skin. Had I had a Tiny Cooper in my life, I would have felt the magic in just being me so much sooner. I am just glad this book exists now. It really does get better. This book is ostensibly about Will Grayson, an awkward teen […]

A great book that should be a MINDBLOWING book.

October 18, 2014 by bonnie Leave a Comment

The Chancellor has been at me to read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe so we can talk about the ending. He did not like the ending. In fact, read his amazing review first, and then let’s talk. Back? Let’s talk. I won’t summarize it for you, since The Chancellor did such a great job of it in his review. But suffice it to say, I agree with his assessment 100%. I wanted to fall in love with this book madly, to […]

“The worst thing in the world is a secret.”

February 15, 2014 by narfna 6 Comments

HOLY SHIT, Y’ALL. Sending out the Bat Signal. This is a book you should read probably as soon as possible. I can’t believe it took me almost nine months to hear about this book, and I only heard about it then because a particularly prolific book blogger I follow on Goodreads received a free review copy of the audiobook, and also gave it five stars. She also had not heard of it before, even though it had been published last May. This is a travesty. […]

The Falcon Cannot Hear the Falconer

January 14, 2014 by narfna 10 Comments

Okay, wow. Wasn’t a good idea to finish this while sitting in a cafe. People think I’m barking. I’m not going to go in depth on this one for two reasons: a) If I were to do that I would spoil the hell out of anyone reading this, and b) the emotions are a little too raw for me to even want to. This book affected me. To sum it up (very) briefly, Tell the Wolves I’m Home is about June Elbus, a fourteen year-old […]
