I think that I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one, maybe because I'm now using Twitter (had to join for school) and have been following @maureenjohnson, so I feel like I "know" her a little better. Her personality really comes out in her writing and this can be how I aspire to write...
I bought this novel after having read the first one AND having seen Maureen Johnson's pro same-sex marriage tweets. Here is my honest review:I really enjoyed the European settings of the first novel. And if you've read the first one, feel free to continue on with my review. If you have not read 13 L...
3.5 starsIn my experience, it’s a rare thing that a sequel outshines its predecessor – but this was the case for The Last Little Blue Envelope, Maureen Johnson’s funny and charming follow up to 13 Little Blue Envelopes.Straight up, I liked this book more than the first.

I didn't particularly care for Keith in the first one, so I was glad for the addition of not only his girlfriend, bu...
Alrighty, so it's like midnight. And I could be working on writing my own book right now. Or I could be reading the book I wrote when I was 12, because I took it upon myself to read it again just to get another laugh out of it––it's horrendous and about talking cats. But I'm also sick and I have a t...
Is it a series if there are only 2 books? Anyway. I read this yesterday. It was wonderful. I couldn't have asked to a better ending to the mystery of the last blue envelope. Johnson is so good at changing my ways of seeing characters without shoving it in my face. And, of course, I'm a sucker for ...
