Ugh, ugh, ugh. My mind feels filthy. I want to scrub it clean with a sponge. I may be feeling slightly nastier than normal because of my migraine. But I wanted to rant before I forget what I have to say.

Before I start, let me just say that I'm a Young Adult Fiction aficionado. I know that you have to wade through a lot of crap to get to the good ( Read more... )

Uhhhh, okay, so I just finished Jellicoe Road point two seconds ago, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit flabbergasted.

That book was AMAZING. Five out of five, all the way. By Melina Marchetta, who is definitely an author I'm going to have to look into, it follows Taylor Markham, a girl who was abandoned at a seven eleven off Jellicoe Road ( Read more... )

Alright, these are less reviews and more short blurbs, since I scratched my eye and my entire head is twinging just looking at the LCD light of my computer ( Read more... )

Oh god, I've got a thousand things to say. I just got my laptop back, and I missed it so. I think I'm addicted. Do they have rehab for that kind of thing?

Right, so...let's do this with bullets.

I made my father buy me new books today. Which I realize makes me sound like a spoiled byotch, but really the only things my father has contributed to my life in the past year or so include a few meals and attention, so no. Just no. I do need to tone down the spoiled thing though, on another note- my sister was asking me today if, out of curiosity ( Read more... )

Did I write a review of the Lost Symbol? I can't remember. I don't think I did ( Read more... )

First thing's first. I wanted to write about fanmixes. As you may or may not know, my cousin is the drummer in a band that's sort of well known within indie crowds, particularly in Boston. Two of the fanmixes I've downloaded in the past few months have featured songs from his band, which had me all ecstatic and proud of him (even though we talk ( Read more... )

I haven't reviewed anything in a while, and this one's going to be short 'cause I have to be up in like, less than six hours ( Read more... )

First off, woot! Finally hit one ninety reviews for You Can Never Go Back. The funny thing is I really love odd numbers, but staying at one eighty nine for so long was BUGGING ME. People tend not to review too often after a story is complete- it's funny, because they READ more often once a story is complete- so I've had to wait like a month and a ( Read more... )

Recently I picked up the first in the Maximum Ride series; The Angel Experiment. Normally, I wouldn't have touched anything James Patterson created, not because he's a horrible writer- I've barely ever touched a James Patterson book, so I had no clue if he was or wasn't. I just knew he was mainly an action writer, sort of like Tom Clancy, who I  ( Read more... )
