Mind blown, again, by the endlessly adaptable Larbalestier. Personality disorders are the worst. Loved it so much I had to reread Liar, also set in NY. (As an aside, the way she writes about physical activity is so compelling, I'm ready to devote myself to running, or boxing. Something. Almost ready...

So I really love zombies. And I also think unicorns are pretty cool. Therefore, I really thought I would enjoy this anthology. However, reading it was really a struggle for me.

This collection is no exception.This collection presents seventeen stori...

I don't remember how this book made it onto my bookshelves, but it was clearly under a misunderstanding because I had it in with memoirs. So when I picked it up, I was surprised to learn it was YA fiction. But I kept with it because Micah, the main character, is very compelling. So many things about...

This anthology doesn’t literally pit zombies against unicorns, but instead has half of its stories featuring zombies and the other half featuring unicorns. It’s an interesting enough premise, enough to get me to read, however, by and large, the stories left me ambivalent. Like most anthologies the...
