Month: April 2015
Review: Undertow by Michael Buckley
First, thanks to Netgalley and HMH Books for Young Readers for approving me to read the egalley, then of course I was able to grab an ARC at the bookstore where I work, and so I ended up reading that. I have to say I was hooked pretty quickly. And while it had some similarities… Read more »
A to Z April: Y Reviews – The Year of Yes by Dahvana Headley/Yes Man by Danny Wallace
At first I only had one book I thought I could talk about, but then I went back and realized that one of the two I’m talking about today I read before I started this blog. So I can share it. And the common theme? Both actually have to do with saying “yes”. First is… Read more »

A to Z April: X Reviews – The Xander Years by Keith R.A. DeCandido/The X-Files: Book of the Unexplained by Jane Goldman
As you might have guessed, finding books for the X reviews was one of the hardest for the whole challenge. I had about 6 to choose from and 3 were ones I had already posted reviews here on the blog, so I didn’t want to do them again. So the ones I’ve chosen are the… Read more »
A to Z April: W Reviews – Watchers by Dean Koontz/Wolf’s Hour by Robert McCammon/Why Girls Are Weird by Pamela Ribon
There were a lot of books that begin with the letter W, and there were 3 that I just couldn’t give up when I tried to narrow it down. So today you get three mini-reviews! First is Watchers by Dean Koontz. I know that I’ve already talked about one book by Dean Koontz, Strangers, but… Read more »

First, thanks to Edelweiss and Balzer and Bray/HarperTeen for allowing me to read an egalley of this book.

A to Z April: V Reviews – Vanished by T.J. MacGregor/Vitals by Greg Bear
I must admit I was surprised that I didn’t have more books that started with V. But most of the ones I’ve read actually have been since I’ve started reviewing. And some I’d kind of already mentioned with other books by the same author. A couple I thought about talking about were ones that I… Read more »
A to Z April: U Reviews – Uglies by Scott Westerfeld/Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman
My two book choices today couldn’t be farther apart in what type of story they are. The first is a YA Science Fiction/Dystopian story, a series that I LOVE! The second is a classic realistic fiction story about an inner city school and what a teacher who works there deals with while trying to do… Read more »
