100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews
Andie has always wished that her life was like a movie...but this wasn't what she had in mind. The summer before Andie's senior year of high school, her family moved to Punxsutawney, PA. Andie's mother has raised her to be a movie buff, mostly by watching her favorite movies from the 1980's. Andie...

Oh my, this was a hilarious fun book!It all starts when Shannon, Kelly and Amy get called to the office, there they find out they are the ones to be voted least likely for prom queen. And then they are thrown into a reality show, all about that, and to make them prom queen material.I really loved Sh...

-- Originally reviewed at Here There Be Books (goes live July 17, 2013). --I wanted to read Blaze mostly because of the comic book angle; also, I really loved the cover. Loving certain aspects of a book, as I should have remembered, does not mean I'll love the WHOLE book, however, and that's what ha...

Blaze won me over from the very beginning with its front page quote taken from an X-Men comic. Being the X-Men geek (okay, comic geek--but X-Men are my fave) that I am, I admit to maybe squee-ing out loud a bit on that. Blaze is a relatable character to me, though I did have my questionable moments ...

Usually I don't read books that I have no idea about. I'm definitely one of these people who read a synopsis first and then use that to judge whether or not I'll read a book. But Blaze caught me completely unaware - really, I'm still wondering how it even ended up on my Kindle app. Even still, I fin...

Be still my geeky heart! Blaze is the best anti-love story I’ve ever read…it’s also the only one I’ve ever read, but I’m positive that it would still remain among the top 3 even if I had read others. It’s not often that a book boasts having a legitametly geeky main character and Blaze definitely man...

I picked up Blaze (Or Love in the Time of Supervillains) because I loved the title and concept. While I felt that there were some definite rough parts of Crompton's debut, I can't say it wasn't unique.My favorite aspect of the novel is the close relationship between Blaze and little brother (and onl...

3.5 to 4 starsThis one is hard to rate. I loved Blaze's voice, but I hated many of the choices she made. I enjoyed to comic geekiness, and could relate to Blaze's inner nerd. Her overwhelming desire to have a boyfriend, even one so wrong for her, made me want to shake some common sense back into ...
