Stories Selected by Neil Gaiman - Unnatural Creatures

Review:I love Neil Gaiman, which is why I gave it a high rating. I know it will be a good book-but I haven't read it yet! I have ordered SO many books through Amazon that I can't keep up! This one will be the next one, I'm almost done with the book I'm reading now-and I still have more coming! gbg Read more

The Cellar
The Cellar

Review:I became emotionally involved with this masterpiece! I cried, I felt relief, I got mad. I could vividly imagine the characters and their experiences, their surroundings. It was like I was there. This book was very well written in the format that it was. Absolutely will be seeking out more of Natasha Preston's work. This book 'The Cellar,' was my first and I highly enjoyed it, it is an absolute must read! 5 stars ***** Read more

Just As Long As We're Together

Review:I think that every girl should read this book. It is the perfect book for girls ages 9- forever! I read it because my friend read it and she told me what a great book it was and i decided to see if it was great.

"Just as Long as we are Together" helps girls who are expecally ones going through puberty, because the girls in the story are. Step, Rachel, and Alison tell you what your in for with out j...

Extraordinary Means
Extraordinary Means

Review:EXTRAORDINARY MEANS by Robyn Schneider seems at first glance to be just another THE FAULT IN OUR STARS-esque love story; it follows Lane and Sadie, two teens who are sent to Latham House because they’re suffering from a new drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis and need to be separated from the general populace. However, I am glad to say that the similarities to TFIOS end there.

At the start of the book, Sadie is not a fan of Lane because of their experience in summer camp together years ... Read more

Review:This book was horrible. I listen to audio books daily and this is the first review I've written. If I can save one person from wasting their hard earned money on this book, I've helped. I've listened to several YA books but this is so juvenile and unrealistic, it's just sad. I listened to the whole, painful book just to write a honest review. I really don't understand how it received so many five star reviews. Buyer beware! Read more

Boy21
Boy21

Review:Boy21 is a a good read that turns the darkness of the reality we all live in and in some ways, our individual burdens, into a message of hope. This theme is similar to other books that Matthew Quick has written. I personally liked "A Silver Lining Playbook" and "Sorta Like a Rock Star" slightly more. A similar theme can be found in Alicia Bisset's "A Pinch of Love" My understanding is the Silver Lining Playbook will be on screen late this fall. I read more than go to movies but this one may...

The Program
The Program

Review:Wow, I knew I wanted to read this book but I didn't realize just how good it was going to be until I read it. The Program was amazing to me. Everything I wanted in a dystopian, and while some of it reads similar to other dystopians out there, there is a lot that is different and fresh about this book as well and that is what drew me in and kept me reading!

Sloane and James are in love but worried about the sickness that can land them in the program. Life as a teenager in the normal worl... Read more

Since You've Been Gone
Since You've Been Gone

Review:At A Glance Review: I LOVED IT. Morgan Matson just keeps solidifying herself as one of my favorite authors. My heart wants to seize up with happiness over Since You’ve Been Gone. It was a most anticipated book for 2014 and it did NOT disappoint. If you love contemporary YA, read it and then go read her other books if you haven’t! Made my heart melt like ice cream on a hot day. Great book about friendship and finding out who YOU are at the core.

FULL REVIEW:

Morgan Matson is one of ... Read more

An Elephant in the Garden - Inspired by a True Story
An Elephant in the Garden - Inspired by a True Story

Review:Long before, I had a stereotype about all the Germans at the WW2 being the very source of evil and injustice. I did think of the civilians with no weapon of any sort, but I usually had a "they are the troublemaker" to Germany considering the WW2. However, as I got older and learned more and more, I knew that it not entirely Germany's fault, or al lest not all the citizen's. After I finished "An Elephant in the Garden", I was well aware of the suffering innocents took in the horrible war.
