Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

Shut up, Juliette

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

by 4 Comments

Shatter Me is a silly, overblown book that reads like the literary journal the kids in your 1990’s middle school published out of the public library and distributed in front of a local Hot Topic. I’m not going into a lot of plot detail here, because if you’ve read any dystopian YA novel in the past five years, you’ve read this one. I’m also going to be mildly spoiling the book, so, you know, beware. Juliette has been locked up in a solitary psych ward for nearly a year because she has a killing touch. Literally, she touches people and […]

My Troubling Addiction: Pretty Little Liars (reviews 8-11)

Pretty Little Liars (Box Set: 1 through 4) by Sara Shepard

by 1 Comment

Guys, I had a really scary couple of days. I somehow started reading Pretty Little Liars and before I knew it, I was finishing book four. While I don’t exactly regret what I’ve done I’m also very aware that that’s about six hours of my life I’m not going to get back. I feel weird and uncomfortable and I’m dealing with the fact that there’s no way to purge after a book binge. I now bring to you, humble reader, reviews eight through eleven: Books one through four of the Pretty Little Liars universe. *clears throat* Each book starts with […]

Living for the ‘maybe.’

Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi

by Leave a Comment

Goodreads summary: “Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland–known as The Death Shop–are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild–a savage–and her only hope of staying alive. A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile–everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria’s help too; she alone holds the key to […]

Some kind of pun about not being cold on this book

The Coldest Girl In Coldtown by Holly Black

by 4 Comments

Goodreads summary, for the lazy (me): “Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave. One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three […]

Every Day

Every Day by David Levithan

by 2 Comments

Every Day is the story of “A” a teen who wakes up every day in the body of a different teenager. Male, female, gay, straight, rich, poor… anyone is fair game to be possessed for 24 hours. David Levithan is male, the love interest is female and for the sake of pronouns I will refer to “A” as a “he” although it is made clear that “A” is genderless. At the opening of the book “A” awakens in the body of Justin and falls in love with Justin’s girlfriend Rhiannon. For the last sixteen years “A” has made rules to […]

Eleanor and Park

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

by 1 Comment

This book was recommended to me thru goodreads and amazon due to my excessive John Green (who has a blurb on the back cover) habit from the beginning of the year. I can see the connection, there is definitely a the Fault in our Stars vibe about the love between two people who feel like outsiders.  I wasn’t terribly impressed with the first few chapters, but once Eleanor and Park’s flirtation begins the novel picks up. Set in 1986 Omaha. NE, Eleanor & Park is the story of Eleanor- an overweight, redhead with a troubled home life and Park- a […]
