Like I said last week I’m writing a new adult book and thought it’d be a good idea to read some books along that line. The thing is, unlike the book I’m writing, virtually every new adult book out there has a romantic element and I literally roll my eyes at that stuff. I suppose you could call me a ...

I have mixed feelings about this book. Sometimes I really enjoyed it and other times not so much. I related to a lot of the story. Of course I am a little more bias being into Language Arts/English.. The whole Shakespeare thing grabbed my attention. I will probably read the next book to see what hap...

The concerns about Allyson's safety kept me from trusting the love built between Allyson and Willem. Their experience in Paris is not so romantic to touch my feelings, etc. Well, this experience may touch Allyson more deeply than me.

Podría aprovechar el viaje por Europa en excursión, sin padres y con gente de su edad, pero no encuentra la manera de motivarse a romper algunas reglas. Y justo al final, en un momento de inspiración (o idiotez)...

Gayle Forman has yet to disappoint me. I find myself much less interested in what happens as whom it happens to. This author has a real gift for creating well-rounded, believable characters. In a short time, I get to know her characters really well. How long did we spend with Babs? Or Wren? Or Dee? ...

I really enjoyed this novel, mostly because it was a very cute love story in the beginning. But, like how life goes, the good started turning for the worst for Allyson(Lulu). I was kind of iffy about the whole 'girl meets guy and falls in love with him in a day' thing. It turned out to be interestin...
