A Good Book You’ll Want to Borrow

February 2, 2014 by genericwhitegirl 1 Comment

My motivation for reading this book was to get it off my shelf and back on my neighbor’s, who had lent it to me months before. Coupled with the fact that she also brought me a plate of pure sex for Christmas (no one makes better cookies than her), I was beginning to feel like a really lousy neighbor. “But my dog ocassionally tears into your yard, screaming for Kiki the Poodle to come out” I want to scream (let’s ignore the fact that he […]

January 12, 2014 by genericwhitegirl 2 Comments

Thomas wakes up one day to find himself in a field with other boys surrounding him. He has no memory of who he is or how he got there. Same as the others before him. He soon learns he is trapped in a maze and joins their quest to find a way out. This series starts as many YA series do. Strong, compelling, slightly twisted.
