Hey guys! So I took some time off reading the Lux series, because I don't want it to end. In doing so I read a graphic novel so I could get something read pretty quickly. The graphic novel was titled, In Real Life. I loved this graphic novel, it was so cute. I loved the animation and color scheme. I...
Der 16jährige Trent McCauley liebt Filme. Aber nicht in der Kinofassung. Er lädt sich die Filme illegal aus dem Internet und schneidet sie zu neuen, eigenen Filmen. Aufgrund dieser massiven Copyright-Verletzungen wird der Familie das Internet für ein Jahr gesperrt. Das verursacht große Probleme. Tre...
My thoughts on this graphic novel are a little muddled, so please pardon any rambling. I chose to read In Real Life for two main reasons. First off, I was charmed by the fact that it included girl gamers. It's all too easy to forget that there are plenty of us out there who love video games just as ...
For me, urban fantasy is fantasy set in, duh, urban areas, in cities. Frequently the location is as much a character as it a setting.

Fast-paced polemic, a prequel to 1984 and Brave New World, showing us how what's happening today (surveillance state, militarized policing) marches us toward that kind of future. Too didactic ("everyone should learn to program--here's how") and with a typical YA too-perfect first-person boy narrator...
Natasha read this and loved it, talking me into starting as soon as she was done. It deals realistically with both the surveillance on students today in the US, and on what could happen in the immediate wake of another large-scale terrorist attack. It includes the sort of torture we know our governm...
Homeland was a book I hadn't really planned to read as part of my "finish up my unfinished series" project for the year. I enjoyed Little Brother, but I wasn't itching to see where the story went from there. At the last minute, I decided to add it to the list, and now that I've finished it, I can ...
