I feel like Strangelets by Michelle Gagnon is going to be a hard book for me to review, and that’s just me being straight up with you, my reader- friends. While the book was certainly action packed and rarely boring with an actual legitimate ending, I came away without a huge feeling of investment or caring. Actually, […]
The 5th Wave | Rick Yancey | Book Review
April 16, 2013
There is something about alien invasion that I find so utterly terrifying, yet so compelling. When I first heard about The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, I knew without a doubt that I had to read it.

The fact that science fiction and books with complex, interesting themes are blowing up the YA market makes me excited.
