Alli's Reviews:

Once you start, you can’t stop!

July 9, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

You know that feeling when you’re reading a book and it’s so good that you want to keep reading it all the time but you also don’t want to finish too soon because you want to keep enjoying it for a longer time yet you can’t help yourself. That’s this book. I wrote the above sentence in February when I finished reading this book. I don’t know if I can really say much more about how much I loved this book, other than I am […]

Incredibly Delayed Book Review by Alli

July 9, 2014 by Alli 1 Comment

  So I finished reading this book in February, then my son asked to read it and I had these big plans for us to write a collaborative review together but now it is July and he has still not finished reading it. I can’t really judge too much, although I have done quite a bit of reading over these last few months, I have not written a review since March. I could make all sorts of fancy excuses but really who cares, I been […]

Redrum, mmm Rum

March 11, 2014 by Alli 1 Comment

So it is pretty hard for me to give an objective review of a Stephen King book as I am what you would call a King junkie or as he calls it a Constant Reader. But the thing is really it is not like you are reading this review thinking, “Who is this Stephen King I keep hearing about? I wonder if he is any good?” You likely are already a fan, a disgruntled fan or a detractor. I fall into the straight up fan […]

Another Nonsense Allibaba77 Review

March 10, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

I am trying to catch up on my reviews but feel like I am starting to not make a lot of sense but I am just jazzed about reading and I am falling behind on reviews so this is my third one today, think it will be my last of the day but you never know. Tweak is said to be a tale about “growing up on meth-amphetamines” but really it is a story of recovery and relapse. . .  Nic Sheff is our tour […]

Rambles on iTunes Support and maybe a review in there somewhere

March 10, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

One of the drawbacks to being so far behind on my book reviews is that I lose many of the thoughts that I may have had about a particular book and then writing the review becomes much harder. I have started writing myself notes in my drafts but alas this one has no notes. One big thing that sticks out in my memory about this one is my audio book drama so I will relay that to you all, lucky you!   So I had […]

The Fault in Our Stars

March 10, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

I just noticed that I am not the first to post a review today on this book, badkittyuno just posted one as well but it seems I wasn’t as much of a fan as she (and millions of others). I resisted reading this book for some time as I don’t read many young adult novels as I am not a young adult. Not that I don’t think that adults shouldn’t read YA fiction (I reallly enjoyed Hunger Games for example) but it is not generally my […]
