Favorite Quotes: “Do you not realize the lengths I’ll go for you?” he asked softly. A pocket of air caught and held in my throat. He leaned forward, his forehead resting on mine. “I scare even myself, Sam. There’s nothing I won’t do for you.” This woman. I wanted to destroy her. I wanted to […]
I didn’t get a chance to finish this book but I skimmed it. My daughter developed early and I wanted to educate myself and see if there was any good advice. I was a late bloomer so I had no idea there was any reason or rhyme to early development. This book is in depth […]
This book was interesting in that I had so many conflicting feelings over the story. It was an intense read with some serious religious undertones in it. One of the things that I really enjoyed about this book was the feelings it evoked. Happiness, anger, hurt, bitterness and finally acceptance. I had the distinct honor […]
4 stars — This was a cute little read! It was short and, as a result, things moved quite quickly — which isn’t always a bad thing, but it did feel a bit quick on the feelings front. But even as short as it was, it still had some great messages for teens…that I think […]
DNF @ 22% — Uhhhh…. I got this one almost 5 years ago, I think because someone whose reviews I follow loved it. I can honestly say that we must have different tastes. I was NOT a fan of the writing style at all. It felt…simplistic? The characters came across really flat and almost like […]
Favorite Quotes: The other day Campbell told me the history behind the X-Men Gambit, a thief from Louisiana who can manipulate energy, and Rogue, a girl who can steal the life and powers of others with a single touch. They went back and forth; in love, not in love, never able to touch each other, […]
This book is one of my favorites in the series. After this one it kinda all goes downhill for me. Re-reading it with my daughter in this day really makes me think of the differences in our mindsets from when I was a kid and readinf it now. For instance, Eutace is a wretched boy. […]
3.5 stars — This was one of those ones where I felt a bit conflicted. I was drawn right into this story, and after having been a bit burned out, I was so excited to be pulled into reading again. But our heroes, particularly Miles, were really volatile characters, and occasionally that made me uncomfortable. […]
4 stars — OK, I’m about to disappoint my friend Joooood. While I enjoyed Ms. DeLisle’s narration, she wasn’t my favourite. She was fantastic during normal narration, and with Blythe’s thoughts, but I was only meh on her other character dialogue narration. I think I’m really picky about that. It was partly that I wasn’t […]
4.5 stars — Please excuse me while I attempt to recover…. *weeps silently* OK, that probably gives an inaccurate vibe of the book…it has sad parts, but it’s not overall a sad book. I am just a ridiculously weepy person, so I’m quick to bawling. I must say, this is my second time reading this […]
