I wish more books had characters with pink hair who rocked pearls. Really, I do. I’ve always wanted pink hair ever since that one contestant on Rock of Love had that awesome pink hair. I know, I know, trashy reality show. BUT, pink hair is awesome, kind of like Kate Lowry, heroine of The Liar […]

March 22, 2011
The Previous Books: Book One: The Forest of Hands And Teeth Book Two: The Dead Tossed Waves The Dark And Hollow Places is Carrie Ryan’s third book and the final read in her zombie trilogy.

Review: Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
February 14, 2011
When I think of sure-read contemporary authors, I think Sarah Dessen, Maureen Johnson, John Green, Susan Colasanti, etc. Now I can add Stephanie Perkins to that list. Also, before continuing this review, I just want to say, haters to the left. Anna And The French Kiss gave me exactly what I expected of it: a […]
