I would totally buy a ticket to Tiny Cooper: The Musical. That’s how fantastical Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan is. My copy has every ten pages dog-eared because of the awesome quotes. This book was totally worth cutting off an old lady to purchase the LAST copy at the Penguin […]
Review: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
December 28, 2010
I don’t know why I’m always so hesitant to read large adult books, especially when I feel them calling to me. I had been wanting to read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett for the longest time. As a medieval history nerd (3 college courses on that!), a book about building a cathedral […]
Review: Matched by Ally Condie

August 18, 2010
The fey are mean little bastards. No, really. They are! Or so I learned while reading Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin. Phoebe is a member of an extraordinary family. You may have heard of them. The Rothchilds, is that ringing any bells? One of the richest families ever. So, Phoebe has a pretty great family, but […]
