Cinder Review

Cinder by Marissa Meyer My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 Stars When I started reading Cinder I had no idea what to expect. While I did enjoy reading Cinder, I felt that there wasn't enough depth or detail in the storyline (this may come later since this is a 4 part series). We don't really get a lot of background information on the world that Cinder is living in. I still can't figure out why Cyborgs are...

Cold Kiss - Review

I read Cold Kiss back in October, but I am just getting around to posting this review. What's funny is that a few of the things that Wren hates about her undead boyfriend (he is cold, hard and smooth like marble, has no heartbeat, and she has to wrap herself in a blanket to be near him) are things that Bella didn't mind about Edward. Cold Kiss by Amy Garvey Publication Date: September 20, 2011...

Love & Leftovers Review

I literally read Love & Leftovers in 1 1/2 hours last night. Or early this morning. I was trying to stay awake to watch Rafa Nadal at the Australian Open. I didn't plan on reading the entire book, but it was a very quick and easy read since it was in verse. I think I may read it again soon. Love & Leftovers by Sarah Tregay My rating: 4 of 5 stars Love & Leftovers is told from Marcie's...

Wherever You Go - Review

Wherever You Go by Heather Davis My rating: 2 of 5 stars 2.5 Stars Wherever You Go is written with 3 main characters and is told from 3 different POVs. What is strange is that the story has 3 different narratives: first-person, second-person, AND third-person. POVs changed often during chapters. I feel cheated that I didn't get any backstory on Holly and Rob's relationship. I also didn't learn much...

Oh. My. and other randomness...

Join me in looking at the pretty. *sigh* This deserves a really big OH. MY. In the randomness department, I have recently picked up 3 books that were total duds. First was one I requested through NetGalley that I am about halfway through. The description on Goodreads calls it "fast-paced". Sheesh, it's sooo slow I want to take a nap every time I try to read it. The second one I got from Amazon...

Deadly Little Lies (Touch #2) - Review

Deadly Little Lies by Laurie Faria Stolarz My rating: 4 of 5 stars 3.5 Stars Deadly Little Lies is very similar to the first book in the series. Camelia is still the narrator and it seems she has not learned from her previous experiences. I'd like to call her dumb, but that wouldn't be very nice. From the beginning of Deadly Little Lies, Camelia is in danger. She obviously hasn't learned any...

White Cat - Review

White Cat by Holly Black My rating: 4 of 5 stars I borrowed White Cat from the library after I saw it on a blog somewhere. I am always leery of reading books that have raving over the top 5 star reviews, but I decided to give it a chance. I picked it up to start reading before bed one night. 3 hours later I was on page 266. The only reason I stopped reading was because I really needed sleep. Needless...
