I picked this up because it filled a spot on my YA book bingo card, and it didn’t sound totally horrifying. I wasn’t expecting to love it, but I really did.I sometimes have issues with books about high school students, whether they’re popular or outcasts, since none of these books ever really resemb...
Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!I had heard a lot of people saying good things about this book, so though normally I don’t read contemporary books that quickly, I bought it at TBD near the end of last year. It took a while to arrive (some problems with my first copy being los...
This book is #2 in my book challenge. (Randomly picking books from my kindle to read without first reading the posted reviews or the summary). I really liked it. I was hesitant at first because YA and I were on a break, but it was really good. I cried a few times. I had back flashes to my own tee...

This Song Will Save Your Life is a book I dearly wish I had when I was growing up. Though it has its darker moments, it's extremely true to life that way. I saw so much of myself in the story that it was quite confrontational. And in the end, it's the kind of book that makes you think and possibly r...
Have I mentioned how handsome my cat is? Top Ten: Homeland by Cory Doctorow Sequel to Little Brother. Whistleblowing, kidnapping by government agents, peaceful protests aided by technology, nerdy activism, the “War on Terror,” and Burning Man. This book is perfect. Very brief review here. Raptur...
I wanted to love this book, I really did – I just couldn’t. I couldn’t even force myself to the end, where even critics of this book seemed to be happy with the story. I read over a third of the book, but I couldn’t push myself to finish it, even though it’s short. From the very beginning, I was k...
