I’ve been able to avoid Wild for quite some time now, but after the Gilmore Girls revival, one of my book club friends decided that we should read it. My own personal experiences and Cheryl’s cloud my judgement on whether or not it was a good book. Strayed lost her mother to cancer in her mid twenties, I lost my dad to a motorcycle accident when I was 23. Both of us lost our center and while I had a support system (who was […]
You’ll Be Accepting My Apology For Sucking At Life and Not Posting
So yeah, I’ve been away for a long time. So long in fact that I can’t even remember what review I’m on…but I KNOW that I have to be really close to a Cannonball based on what I’ve read, just not on what I’ve reviewed (edit: I looked back I think my last one was 35…let’s see how much closer I can get to a cannonball). I’m breaking the rules and reviewing all the books that I’ve neglected over the past few months…right now. Who’s […]
A Glass Castle is a Perfect Metaphor
I typically write my reviews in a timely fashion. In fact, I typically have a rule that I can’t start my next book until I write my review. It keeps me honest, up to date and together (because I always want to start the next book). Well, rules went out the window after reading this book. I have no idea what it is about it, but I was altered by The Glass Castle. I didn’t want to write about it, I didn’t want to stop thinking about […]
Dolph Kids 4 life
The caption to this picture is pretty much how I felt after reading this book. After enduring the 2nd book I somehow talked myself immediately into reading the third one. I was hooked…not because it was good mind you, but because Love, Lattes and Angel promised me voodoo priestesses, reincarnation and the Bermuda Triangle (and delivered on all three I think). Let me make one thing very clear before I tell you EVERYTHING about this book. It is pure garbage. Many times I caught […]
My Teenage Angst Looks Like a Cakewalk Now
Thank you Even Stevens! You are a wonderful, wonderful person. A few weeks ago, this post showed up on Cannonball Read: “The darkest minds tend to hide behind the most unlikely faces” And I took notice…because the book looked bad ass! And Even Stevens was so enthusiastic about it–it was quickly moved up on my must read list (so much so that I neglected my book club book and focused on this instead). Let me tell you what? I loved it too! Something has […]
Test Tube Mutant Baby
Remember when I told you that for some reason I was mildly enamored with this strange little book? She Has a Blow Hole! So then I decided that I would read the second book because I was majorly hooked! (Remind me never to smoke crack because clearly I have zero impulse control). Book two can be summed up in one word: UGGGH. Love, Lattes and Danger offered up very little love, ZERO lattes, and actually so much danger that it was annoying. This book […]
