I read this at the request of a friend, who had really enjoyed it and wanted me to read it as well. Thanks to Malin (thanks Malin!) I was able to get hold of a copy and read it in an evening. My cheesecake -loving friend really enjoyed it; my own feelings were slightly more mixed. Paper Towns is a book in three parts, but defining them involves spoiling the story, so I’m going to stick to being vague. All three parts have a […]
It’s the end of the world as we know it…
Ender’s Game arrived in my inbox from JB with this note: “Read this now…better than whatever you are currently reading.” Since I was reading Every Day, I can’t agree with that statement, but I can say that once I finished Every Day, I blew through Ender’s Game in just a couple of days and loved it. Ender’s Game is the first book in what eventually became a quintet about Andrew “Ender” Wiggins, the youngest of three brilliant children, who is chosen for Battle School, an […]
The World, Right Now, Is Only Us
I read Will Grayson, will grayson the other day, and developed a little bit of a crush on David Levithan. (Is it dorky that I get crushes on authors the way that other people get crushes on movie stars?) So I went to my library’s website to see what I could download, found Every Day, and blew through it over the course of a couple of hours. Told in a first person narrative, Every Day is the story of a boy named A who wakes […]
If we could pick, then I’d pick you…
Will Grayson, will grayson is a Cannonball favorite, so I’m going to skip the summary and dive right in, because I have lots and lots of thoughts about this book. It’s the kind of story that when I was done with it, I needed to call up someone and talk about it right away, but felt like maybe I was overreacting just a smidge, because after all, it’s impossible to fall in love with Tiny Cooper, because he isn’t real. And that, my friends, is […]
A Dot on the Map…
My first John Green novel was Looking for Alaska, and I loved it. I follow him on Facebook (he’s delightfully goofy), and with all the buzz surrounding Paper Towns being made in to a movie, I figured I should give it a read. Plus, I was reading Father and Son, which is fantastic but very, very dark, and I needed a little bit of light for a couple of days, and I knew I could count on Green to give it to me. Quentin (Q) […]
Growing up is a dangerous thing to do
Waistcoats and Weaponry, the third installment of Gail Carriger’s Finishing School Series, is a bit darker and more mature than the preceding novels. Don’t be alarmed – as in the previous books, there is still delightful dialogue and whimsical witticisms to be found on every page! We begin aboard the floating dirigible school, and we immediately feel sorry for dear Professor Braithwope. I do hope we see more of him in the future, and that he regains more of himself! Sidheag receives a message from […]
