Pippin & The Book Next Door
Pippin & The Book Next Door rated it 9 years ago
This assumption comes from me straight out of the water but I presume that you, someone competent enough to make use of a computing device, is far too mature to get grossed out by the simple concept of princesses. Yet, sadly, this was the case for me, when I picked up this book for the first time...

Okay so if you don't already know what this book is about basically it's The Bachelor meets the Hunger Games. That's probably is the best way to put it. 35 girls are chosen at random and the girls that are, have to go try and steal the heart of the prince. There's no outrageous fight like in Hunger ...

Although, I never saw the tv show/reality Bachelor, I am familiar with the concept of it: a man has numerous gals to choose from as his future wife and in each episode he spends some time with them and if he doesn't like them in the end, he gives them a peck on the cheek along with a rose and off th...
Quiet Or Loud? A Book Reader's Thoughts
Loved it! It definitely was not what I was expecting. I don't know how I would feel if The Selection was a real thing in America. I think I would participate for the fun of it and to get away from home, but like America I don't think I would actually win. I like how America and Maxon's relationship ...

3.5I remember reading this before and not liking it this much. All I can remember was how irritated I felt towards America and her indecisiveness. Thinking about it, I guess it was needed because it's the first book in a series. I just wished she didn't keep both of the guys' hopes up. Maybe turn do...

For this review I buddied up with The Book Dame! Both of us read The Selection and chose our own questions for ourselves and each other. You can check out her review here. Danni’s Questions: 1) First of all, is The Selection what you expected? Danni: Not at all! I was expecting a seriou...

I like America Singer--mostly. She feels like a genuine person, not at all the Barbie parody I watched on the EpicReads YouTube channel. She never wanted to be a part of the selection, but was pressured by her family, and the man she was in love with, who broke her heart. Her inability to realise th...

Oh boy this book...I'm affraid i don't have nice things to say.First I was reminded a lot of 'The Bachelor' tv series: there's a desirable man- the prince- and there are girls who compete to be the winner (of his heart,power,whatever),you have cameras and this selection is televised.So he is chosing...

I thought this was okay. Good read, but not anything that got me hooked or overly excited. I thought the characters were a bit flat. Too much telling and not showing. Like the Prince....he just never seemed real to me. Like a cardboard cut out and could be replaced with any other male character in t...

Wow . . . True love is usually the most inconvenient kind. Okay, so, I had no expectations from this book. I actually expected to detest the main character throughout the entire book. I mean, I was uncomfortable with some things from the premise. I mean: the main character’s name is America Singe...
