I hope posting this doesn’t make me a tool or anything, BUT GUYS, giveaways and chapter postings and an author appearance, that is the shit! And while I will be participating in the Dewey 24 Hour Readathon on the same day, I think this event is the perfect sort of break to take! PLUS, I […]
Hooked by Catherine Greenman Book Review
October 20, 2011
Hooked by Catherine Greenman is not your typical pregnancy novel. There is no ‘you will get pregnant and you will die.’

Under The Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall is a short verse novel, easily readable in two hours, but lingers long after you close the book.

Audition by Stasia Ward Kehoe Book Review
October 3, 2011
Y’all Audition just feeds that addiction. Sara is a 16 year old ballerina from Vermont. She’s just won a scholarship to an elite dance school in New Jersey and is a bit naive because she’s from a small town and all. In addition, she begins to go to an academic prep school in New Jersey, after being in public school all her life and the scholastic competition is fierce, so Sara is totally out of her league on all fronts in New Jersey. She’s a fish out of water until Remington, a 22 year old dance instructor takes a romantic interest in her (OMG JUST LIKE IN CENTER STAGE!!!) — however is the interest part of Rem’s ambition or true feelings?
Markus Zusak Will Make A Believer Out Of You
