First of all, that quote is my new life motto. Second, Mindy McGinnis has written another great YA novel. This one is far different from the survivalist Not a Drop to Drink. It’s set in 1890 at an insane asylum in Boston. Grace was committed by her father for getting pregnant. She doesn’t speak or react at all to the cruel nurse and awful treatments. Her desire is to have the baby and just fade away. Even after being thrown in the damp, dirty cellar […]
“The mistake of every young person is to think they’re the only ones who see darkness and hardship in the world…”
There are blue lights everywhere, crazy zombie deer are running around, and the police have been possessed. It looks like a job for the indie kids, Satchel, Dylan, and Finn (A different Finn from the one who died at the beginning). It’s part of the book, but it’s not what the book is about. Mike, his sister Mel, and their friends Jared and Henna are fairly normal (Aside from little issues like OCD, anorexia, being 1/4 god). They aren’t the Chosen ones who have to […]
“I don’t want more sense!” I said loudly, beating against the silence of the room. “Not if sense means I’ll stop loving anyone. What is there besides people that’s worth holding on to?”
I really loved this book. It’s got magic and scary trees and romance and friendship and mad cow disease, pretty much all the things. It’s really very, very good. You can read my full review here.
“They never realized they were puppets…made to dance and love and die and suffer…just like me…”
The Deadpool Killogy is comprised of three graphic novels. The first, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, starts when Professor Charles Xavier has Deadpool committed to Ravenscroft Asylum. What he doesn’t know is that the famous Dr. Benjamin Brighton who heads the hospital is really Psycho-Man. The supervillain plans to brainwash Deadpool, hoping to form a super army, but it doesn’t work out like he planned. He ends up making Deadpool’s subconscious stronger. It’s true that Deadpool has always had voices in his head, but now […]
“I was not a hug person, so I didn’t know the secret of hugs until that moment: They’re not only one person’s effort. You have to hold each other up…”
Imagine that you could change your life instantly. In The Cost of All Things, witches called Hekamists cast spells for a price. These spells can erase memories or make you prettier or less depressed. Hekamists are under strict laws, but nobody stops them from performing spells for teenagers (Which seems incredibly unwise to me). The book is told by five teens. Winn has been suffering from severe depression and asks for a spell to feel better. Unfortunately, his chapters are flashbacks because we know that […]
“I was starting to feel slightly superior. ‘You should soak raw almonds in water,’ I said to my friend…”
Rebecca Harrington posted a series of articles where she tries celebrity diets. Her book repeats a lot of those articles, but also includes new ones. I found the book entertaining, even though I had already read almost half of it. I loved reading about the crazier diets, and though I feel mean saying it, the harder the diet was the more I liked reading about it. There are chapters on modern celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, and classic stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth […]
