First and foremost let me just say that Altered was a 3.5 star book for me (one day I will get half a star rating system). Now we can move forward. I found a lot of things I adored about Altered but a few things, personally, just didn’t sit well with me. I, like many people, have grown up […]
This was me at Barnes and Noble the day I picked up “The Friday Society”: Ohh what a pretty cover, but that’s not what I came here for (leaves YA section). Hmm I love this place. I wonder what radio station this is? Ohh pretty calendar. Look it’s that pretty cover again… Wait. How did I […]
Really? So no one is going to say it? Nobody? Ok. Fine. If you all won’t say it I guess I will be the bad guy. I didn’t like “The Dead and Buried”. There, I said it. It’s out there into the infinite universe that is the internet. I waited patiently and eagerly for “The Dead and Buried”. […]
I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I seriously hated maybe the first 60% of it. Even though it starts with Violet witnessing a mass murder (vampires vs. slayers) the story really dragged for me. Chapters 2 through 30 was a complete and total bore to read, and even though […]
*Please give me a second to get over my shock, and varying emotions.* I can’t believe it’s over. Yes I know I can re-read it, but as my fellow book lover’s know, re-reading a book has nothing on getting to read it and fall in love with it for the first time. Independence was a fantastic […]
Who says not to judge a book by it’s cover?! I picked up False Memory because the cover completely caught (and kept) my attention, and that’s saying something with my squirrel like attention span. It wasn’t just the close up of what I believe is a computer chip, or the two people running, or the gloomy […]
You know that feeling after reading a 8 star (yep I said 8 star) book. A book so amazingly fantastic that you know the next thing you read will be a horrible disappointment and a complete waste of time. Well that was how I felt when I finished Ashfall by Mike Mullin, and I knew I needed something […]
Ashfall did crazy and unpredictable things to my brain. I heard nothing but great things about the book before I read it so I expected it to be good, I expected it to be different, I expected it to leave me wanting more. I didn’t expect for my emotions to be out of whack. And […]
I went into “Valkyrie Rising” with absolutely NO knowledge of what a Valkyrie even was. In fact the most I know about Norway is that it’s cold most of the time (strike one in my eyes). However I’m a sucker for a pretty cover and a nice blurb and “Valkyrie Rising” had both. Now don’t you go judging me. I […]
I originally gave “Sanctum” four stars and after thinking about it I have decided I must have been delusional. “Sanctum” is the story of Lela, who literally goes to hell to free her best friend Nadia who committed suicide. That right there put the book at a disadvantage for me. It may sound selfish but […]
