Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley is another of his quietly brilliant books that completely nails characterization. Where Things Come Back and Noggin are both intelligently written reads that I loved, so my expectations for Highly Illogical Behavior were quite large. Thankfully, Whaley’s latest absolutely smashes expectations. This book provides a human look at mental illness and […]
Elusion by Claudia Gabel & Cheryl Klam | Audiobook Review
June 1, 2016
Why Did I Listen To Elusion by Claudia Gabel & Cheryl Klam? Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam is a book that probably would have languished on my TBR mountain for a very, very long time if not for my brand new magical library card.

Alas, this book, It’s Okay To Laugh was not really all that similar to Let’s Pretend […]

Every Exquisite Thing by Matthew Quick is one of those books that I was SO EXCITED TO READ and in deep anticipation of, because Matthew Quick is one of my favorite authors ever. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock is one of my favorite YA books of all time, for the record. To say I was pumped up […]
