Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been since I blogged! School is so busy, 3 jobs are crazy! I also am thinking I may not be able to read the nominees for next year’s Gateway. I am going to get a friend, and maybe some students to help me. But I’m getting an… Read more »

The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe
The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was unsure whether to go ahead and post a review of this since it doesn’t come out until January, but saw that everyone else seemed to, so here goes. First I’d like to also mention that I got this as an… Read more »
Eve by Anna Carey
Eve by Anna Carey My rating: 4 of 5 stars More review later. But for now I’ll just say thank goodness I know there is going to be a 2nd part, I need to know what happens next! Above is what I first thought after finishing the book, and below this is my full review…. Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 3.2 Part 1
So I’m waaaaaay behind on doing one of these. I have 16 books to talk about. So I’m going to do it in 3-5 parts. I’ve sorted the books out based on age first. Then within the teen books and adult books I have 6 or more in each category. So those two may get… Read more »
2011 Debut Author Challenge 12: Dark Parties by Sara Grant
Dark Parties by Sara Grant My rating: 3 of 5 stars The main character of this book is Neva, and she is 16. She has lived her whole life under the Protectosphere, and feels like she is trapped. Part of the feeling comes from what her grandmother used to tell her, at least before her… Read more »
Waiting on Wednesday – Fever (Chemical Garden Trilogy #2) by Lauren DeStefano
Waiting on Wednesday is sponsored by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. I haven’t done this in awhile because I felt I’d pretty much listed all the books I’d really been waiting on. But, au contraire, mon frere. It’s just that a lot of the books I’m not waiting on will not be published for another… Read more »
Bumped by Megan McCafferty
While I did enjoy this book, and hope that there is a sequel so I can find out what happens next, I must say it didn’t quite live up to all the hype I read about it. I think that I more enjoyed Delirium and Wither as what I consider similar dystopian themes. However, it… Read more »
2011 Debut Author Challenge 5: Divergent by Veronica Roth
Another ARC. And I kept hearing great things online about it, how picking it up and not being able to put it down. I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the coverwork, it doesn’t really draw me in. It’s cool looking, don’t get me wrong, just wouldn’t have grabbed me or made me… Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 1.7
Two new books. One I actually meant to write about in another post, because a friend reviewed it, and I’ve seen it sitting on a table at work several times. The other a teen book that I saw for the first time yesterday, and I actually had a minute to go back and read the… Read more »
2011 Debut Author Challenge 4: Wither by Lauren DeStefano
The funny thing about this book is that I had received an ARC several months ago I think, but it got put under some other books, I forgot about it, and actually picked up another ARC at the bookstore the other day and brought it home. It wasn’t until I was up in my office/2nd… Read more »
