Roadtrip of grief

Someone Else's Summer by Rachel Bateman

by Leave a Comment

Anna was only about a year younger than her sister Storm and spent much of her childhood tagging along after Storm and the boy next door, Cameron. When she started high school, Anna finally find her own friends and became involved in cheer leading, but when Storm dies in a car accident on the evening of her graduation, Anna is left confused and adrift, and Cameron seems to be the only one who understands and who knew Storm as well as her. When they were children, Storm used to make up summer “bucket lists”, although the three of them never […]

#CBR10Bingo: White Whale – The Truth About Forever

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

by 2 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: White Whale (on my TBR-list for more years than I can count) Macy used to love running and was very good at it, until one morning, her father (and coach) had a heart attack, and now, Macy doesn’t do that anymore. Instead, she keeps her life strictly regimented and works very hard at her school work, so as to not have to think too hard about her feelings. This summer, her boyfriend Jason is going away to “brain camp” and she will fill in for him at the library helpdesk. She will study for her SATs and help her realtor […]

#CBR10 Bingo – So Shiny: My Plain Jane

My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

by Leave a Comment

#CBR10Bingo: So shiny This review will contain spoilers for Jane Eyre, but that book is more than 170 years old, and therefore, if you don’t know the gist of the plot already, that’s really not my fault. In this slightly alternate universe, King George III of England was not actually mad, he just saw ghosts and could talk to them (making others believe he wasn’t quite right in the head). He founded a society “for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits”, led by none other than the Duke of Wellington himself. By the time of William IV, the Society was no longer receiving […]

There are monsters in the sea

Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

by 1 Comment

I was going to start this review the way I normally do, with a few paragraphs trying to sum up the story of the book. But having written nearly two whole paragraphs, I went back and deleted them, because I don’t really want to say too much about the plot of the book. I didn’t know a whole lot going into the book, and I think my reading experience was better for it. Very short summary: Eliza Mirk is a teenager soon to graduate high school. Hardly anyone knows that she is the beloved creator of wildly popular web comic Monstrous […]
