Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars here. I really enjoyed “Saint Anything” by Sarah Dessen, but not as much as I did “Lock and Key.” The biggest issue I really had with this book was the fact that Sydney’s mother and father were 100 percent ridiculous. And them not realizing the danger of Ames. I also hated the final scene between Ames and Sydney with Sydney rushing off. It didn’t feel real at all. This […]
Key to My Heart
What can I really say. I loved this book to pieces. It’s been a while since I can say that a book was picture perfect from beginning to end, but I really did find this book worked great. I had no issues with the writing, dialogue, plot, setting or pacing. I went and borrowed a ton of other Sarah Dessen books from the library as soon as I finished “Lock and Key.” I read this for the “Key to My Heart” square for Romance Book […]
Spontaneously Combusting Seniors – it could happen!
Do you ever have a run of days where you just can’t get in to any books in your TBR pile? That happened to me last week. I finished both The Sun is Also a Star by Nicole Soon and Spontaneous by Aaron Starmer and just couldn’t find another book to make an awesome YA trifecta. Why you ask? The premise of Spontaneous is simple: high school seniors spontaneously combust in the oddest places like pre-calc and an SUV. What could possibly follow THAT? To read the rest of my review, […]
Cinderella’s from the Moon
The premise here is great, but the execution was a little disappointing. This book isn’t poorly written, but it does lack some character development and some plot elements are rushed. I’m not sure what attracted Kai to Cinder in the first place (other than she’s more normal than other girls he presumably knows), which is a major factor in the Cinderella story, especially here since they’d met a few times before the ball. I also didn’t realize that Cinder was still significantly still human. It […]
Yer a Wizard Harry!
Excluding one or two books over the last three years I have been exclusively reading New-to-Me books since joining CBR. This year I wanted to reread some books I hadn’t read in a few years and while I really want to tackle some of the books from my high school English classes I started with Harry Potter. I am a huge fan of the movie series (despite owning all the dvds I will still drop everything if Freeform is running a marathon) but I have only […]
Can We Get Back to the Fantasy World?
In book four of the Ranger’s Apprentice series. Will and Evalyn have escaped thanks to Erak’s help, but have gone from the frying pan into the fire. The Tamujai are moving into the area. This is John Flanagan’s interpretation of the Huns. I don’t know that the Huns every tried to invade a Scandinavian country, but it’s an interesting story Mr. Flanagan tells with the Tamujai trying to invade Skandia to take over their ships. At the same time, I wonder if this move signals […]
