Retro Friday Reviews are hosted by Angie of Angieville. I am pretty sure I needed Alanna in my life when I was in middle school. This would have perfectly complimented my Sailor Moon obsession. (I mean kick ass girls doing kick ass thing). I read a lot of fantasy as a kid. However, most of […]
Review: The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
January 20, 2011
Whenever I think of Hemingway, I think of that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You when Kat says ‘Romantic? Hemingway?

The first book is The Boys Next Door, and the second book is the sequel, Endless Summer. Endless Summer by Jennifer Echols […]
