If you read my review of Under the Never Sky, you know that I said it took me a little while to get into the story. Well, that was not the case with this installment of the series. I finished Through the Ever Night in two days, and am extremely sad that my Nook and Kindle are not working, my local library doesn’t have the third book, and the closest book store is an hour away (and I don’t have two hours free this week […]
A World of Nevers Under a Never Sky
I kept seeing this title over and over, in Must-Read lists, in Read-Alike lists, in What-to-Read-Next lists, and in Best-Books-of-____ lists, so I finally broke down and bought it. I admit that I hesitated to purchase it because the reader reviews of the book were mixed. Some called it the best thing since Hunger Games, while others said it was just a lackluster attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the dystopian novel. The final decision was made after a favorable recommendation from a coworker […]
If everyone belonged to only 1 of 5 categories, which would you be? NONE because that’s ridiculous.
Here’s the next big YA trilogy, the first book of which has already been released to the big screen. It has all the sexy elements a YA dystopian thriller needs to be successful…hot teenagers (going off of the movie trailer a bit on this one)…Ok, wait. Did I just say “hot teenagers”?!? Creepy. I’m way too old to be saying things like that. (I was going to put “waaaaaaaay too old” but no, I’m just “way” too old). Which brings me to my next point, […]
It’s all about Manchee
Anyone who read my reviews regularly last year will be aware that I have developed something of a book crush on Patrick Ness. He’s a brilliant author and, as some have said of Rainbow Rowell, an author I wish had been around when I actually was a Young Adult, as it would have made my teenage years that much more bearable. He is also bloody good value for money on Twitter, so if you don’t already, you should totally follow him. His live tweeting of […]
It’s a YA book based on a principle of game theory. But with kissing!
For YA, The Winner’s Curse is very good. And if that just isn’t a ringing endorsement! I’m to the point now where I only read YA books if they come heavily recommended (or if they’ve been lauded as so terrible that I just have to read in order to satisfy my insatiable curiosity). And The Winner’s Curse came pretty heavily recommended. I follow a disturbing amount of YA book bloggers, and they all LOVED this thing. (Of course, they also all seem to be convinced […]
“I want everyone to meet you. You’re my favorite person of all time.”
I want everyone to read you, Eleanor & Park! I have so spoiled myself over the past few weeks, reading brilliant wordsmiths like Rainbow Rowell and Laini Taylor whose emotive descriptions are devastatingly apt. This book is ADORABLE. It seems like almost everyone I knew in high school fell in love exactly like this; teenagers have a way of each feeling uniquely disenfranchised, and meeting someone else who complements your weird and loneliness feels like finally the universe has done you a solid. Eleanor and […]
