Judging by the cover of Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton you would think it was strictly a vampire story, however, you would be wrong. Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton blends paranormal, Greek mythology, dystopia, and romance into a neat little package. Ari Selkirk has teal colored eyes and silver hair, so she’s weird looking.

Book Review: The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
May 23, 2011
Read at your own peril, Vampire Academy spoilers lie ahead. Oh, Richelle Mead, you slay me. The Vampire Academy series is one of the few I’ve read from start to finish since beginning blogging. The Last Sacrifice is the final installment and it makes me sad to see these characters go. I mean, I guess […]
Book Review: 10 Miles Past Normal by Frances O’Roark Dowell
May 4, 2011
Normal is overrated. No, really it is. However, not a whole lot of us really see that in high school. I remember desperately wanting to fit in while in high school and to be normal. But, well, normal girls don’t emerge from the library every day with a stack of books. Normal girls talk about […]

Book Review: Between Here And Forever by Elizabeth Scott
May 2, 2011
I learned several important things after reading Between Here And Forever by Elizabeth Scott. Number 1) A coma and a persistent vegetative state are not the same thing.

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.
