Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I’ve been wanting to read this book forever, and with the depth of that desire and all the hype surrounding the book, I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. That was definitely not the case. Meyer painted a beautiful and vivid world that I enjoyed living in! This is only the second fairytale retelling that I’ve read (Beastly being the first). While there were a few similarities between Cinder and its inspiration, Cinderella (evil step-mother and two step-sisters, the shoe, […]

The premise of this book….I can’t even. Okay, imagine a world where people live to be pretty. I’m not talking like the stars and famous people of now, I mean when you turn 16 everyone gets an operation to make them look pretty. Everyone looks the same and acts the same. Being Pretty is normal, and every Littlie dreams of the day when they can have the operation and no longer be an Ugly. A world of happy mindless robots, where […]

Review: Timepiece by Myra McEntire

The present. Right now. The exact spot where the hourglass filters the sand from the future to the past. That’s where we have to live. Before all the sand runs out, or before somebody shakes it all up again. Whew, man! This book was intense! I totally loved reading in Kaleb’s POV. I liked him from Hourglass, so I was looking forward to getting a more in-depth peek into his head. In the beginning he’s kind of an asshat. He’s […]

Lives are made of strings of moments, and every once in a while, one of those moments is pivotal and defining. It changes everything, alters you so completely that when you look back, there’s a clear before and after. Wow. This book blew my mind! I don’t read a lot of sci-fi, so it was unlike anything I’ve ever read before. And boy does Norris know how to kick your feet out from under you! There were a few things […]

Mini Review: Shadows by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Sigh. I feel like it makes me a leper for saying this, but I wasn’t impressed with this one. Let me just say right now, I absolutely LOVED Obsidian. It’s on my favorites shelf. So, I was quite dismayed when this one just didn’t cut it for me. My main issue is that I’m so ridiculously sick of “immediate connections.” There’s no such thing as love at first sight; that’s called LUST people!! Ugh. The use of the L word […]

Review: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Again, this is my third time through this series and I still love it just as much as I did when I read it for the first time. Although I do kinda wish I was reading it for the first time, since I already knew everything that was going to happen. I still remember my shock, though, at the announcement of the Quarter Quell. Wow! Never even saw that one coming! Collins is a brilliant writer and has a way […]
