Rant #2: Our YA pet peeves

It’s been a long time since we had a nice rant and both Judith and I feel there’s no time like the present. Or maybe it’s just that we got so sick of bitching to each other about all our YA complaints that we’ve decided to drag you all down with us. But just like [...]

A Strange Fire by L.H. Cosway

A Strange Fire by L.H. Cosway Publisher: Self-Published, 2012 Format: Kindle Hey folks, I’m back! Sorry I’ve been away for so long but my classes were seriously back-heavy (is that even an expression?) and it’s been an insane month and a half. But now classes are over and I can re-dedicate my life to reading and blogging [...]

Guest Blogger Richelle reviews: Captivated by Deb Apodaca

Captivated, by Deb Apodaca Publisher: Eminent Books 2011 Format: Kindle Edition So, after I wrote my last review, my husband read it and said I wimped out when it came to scoring it honestly.  I disagree (and of course I’m right as always), but I decided that I would really be tough on the next [...]

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire Publisher: Jamie McGuire, LLC; 1 edition (May 26, 2011) Format: Kindle Edition I have so much to say about this book that would never, ever fit into a simple preface paragraph so I’m holding back until the real review.  God, it hurts though because there are so many things wrong here [...]

Crimson Soul, by Tim Cody

Crimson Soul, by Tim Cody Publisher: Self-Published Format: Kindle Edition, 2006 I don’t know what to say about this one. I really wanted to like it. I mean, come on, is any book more up my alley? Granted there was zero romance but it was like a combination of that Buffy episode where she wakes up in [...]

Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms

Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms Publisher: Self-Published (August 1, 2010) Format: Kindle Edition Remember how I said that I love books about girls who play sports so long as they’re even halfway decent? Well here is one of the few that show I can dislike a girl-sport book. And while I really don’t enjoy writing a [...]

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

Why We Broke Up, by Daniel Handler Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (December 27, 2011) Format: Hardcover Edition Plot: Minerva “Min” Green is…different. When people first meet her, they all want to call her arty (which she despises) because she wears thrift store clothing, hangs out with a potentially gay best friend, loves avant garde [...]

Caveat Emptor for sure: Melanie Marks (An Official Ellen Rant)

So originally this was going to be a book review and then I was strolling through Judith’s recent posts and saw this. Which made me pause and then get very upset because both Judith and I fell into the trap (well: Judith fell and then dragged me down by loaning me the books WITHOUT WARNING) of buying [...]
