Extremities: Stories of Death, Murder, and Revenge by David Lubar
First thanks to Macmillan-Tor Forge and Netgalley for allowing me to read an egalley of this book of short stories. I am very grateful in this case because of how good the stories are. They remind me in a way of how good Stephen King’s short stories are. Some of the stories were really scary,… Read more »

Wings by Aprilynne Pike
This is the first book by Aprilynne Pike that I have read, and I must say I wasn’t disappointed at all! I got a copy of this at the RT Convention back in May of this year. I’ve actually not really been a fan of fairy or fae stories. Not that I mind when they… Read more »
Bad Girls Don’t Die by Katie Alender
I’d seen these books on the teen shelves in the bookstore where I work for awhile, and always wondered. Then last December I went to the Scholastic Warehouse sale and got it for half price, which was a good deal. I finally got around to reading it this past week, and all I can say… Read more »
Stacking the Shelves – June 23, 2013

Got a couple books in the mail, approved for one from Netgalley, and two from my sister in NYC. From Netgalley: Just love that cover, and it sounds like… Read more »
Underworld (Abandon Trilogy #2) by Meg Cabot
I actually received this book from the YA Book Exchange website. It came from Sri Lanka, so took a little longer than expected to arrive. But fortunately I got it in time to get it read before my e-galley of the final book in the trilogy, Awaken, expires. And you can check out my review… Read more »

Proxy (Proxy #1) by Alex London
First thanks to Penguin Young Readers and Netgalley for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. This is a dystopian type of thriller, one for boys, with the main characters being boys. However, and though I have no problem with it, something that might be an issue for some people is that the… Read more »
