Review: Parallel by Lauren Miller

Title: Parallel Author: Lauren Miller Publisher: Harper Teen Release Date: May 14, 2013 Pages: 432, Hardcover Goodreads Rating: 4.1 stars My Rating: 3.5/5 stars Summary from Goodreads: Abby Barnes had a plan. The Plan. She’d go to Northwestern, major in journalism, and land a job at a national newspaper, all before she turned twenty-two. But one tiny choice—taking a drama class her senior year of high school—changed all that. Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Abby is stuck on a Hollywood […]

Challenges – NetGalley Reading Challenge, Goodreads Challenges and DAC Update

I just signed up with NetGalley and was approved for most of the books that I requested, so I thought this challenge would be perfect for me. It’s hosted over at Red House Books. Since I’m starting halfway through the year, I think I’ll aim for green star status (reading and reviewing 11-20 books in 2013). Hopefully this isn’t too ambitious. I’ve been reading A LOT, but I’ve got lots of books besides the NetGalley books […]

If you haven’t read The Immortal Rules yet, go get it NOW (and then come back and read this review later—it contains spoilers from the first book in the series). Oh, Julie Kagawa, why do you torture me so? That ending, REALLY? REALLY?! Okay, I think I can calm myself enough to write a review now, but honestly it’s going to be hard. Let me start by saying, I could not wait for this […]

Let’s Discuss – What do you use for your comments?

Okay, so I have a question for all you more experienced bloggers out there – Do you use a third party tool (like Disqus) for your comments? If so, what do you use and how well has it been working out for you? I’ve been very disappointed to discover that people don’t get notified if I reply to their comments. I always just assumed that if someone left me a comment on my blog and […]

Review: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

This was something unexpected and new – I loved getting into R’s mind and I thought that this made the book much more interesting and enjoyable than your typical zombie […]
