Y’all, there is never a time in my life where I would say no to an interesting, traditionally published book featuring cults. For serious, like one time Christina recommended an adult fiction cult book to me and I read the heck out of it. When I saw Gated by Amy Christine Parker on Netgalley, the description basically […]
Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth
April 25, 2011
I have a confession to make. I thought Divergent by Veronica Roth was going to be terrible because of the cover. Don’t hate me, but I think the cover is a bit cheesy looking. Then everyone started reading it and tweeting about how great it was and I learned an important lesson. YA’LL THIS IS A BOOK YOU SHOULD NOT JUDGE BY THE COVER!!! Is that in your face enough? Seriously, I am in LOVE with Divergent. Okay, so you know how some long books take like forever to read, unless they contain Harry Potter magic inside? Well, I’m pretty sure there is something magical inside Divergent because I read this almost 500 page book in two days. It would have been one day, but work frowns on me coming in on zero sleep.

Review of The Maze Runner by James Dashner
March 23, 2010
The Maze Runner by James Dashner was a thrilling read, sure to delight fans of the film Labyrinth, as there is a maze to be figured out. However, there is no David Bowie, dancing, or singing, or Goblin king. But as I said, there’s a maze and a great cast of characters, which I grew […]
