Zombies vs. Unicorns. Oh, my Gosh.

There is nothing NOT to like. Zombies vs. Unicorns is downright awesome. While I am firmly planted in Team Unicorn, Team Zombie had a few excellent selections. But, as Holly Black so often mentioned, they weren’t zombie-like, so we can pretend they’re not zombies.  These zombies were to real zombies as Twilight vampires are to [...]

Masques by Patricia Briggs

Yes, I am still on a Patricia Briggs binge. However, I just started reading Real Murders by Charlaine Harris, which will hold me over for a while. I’m also considering reading The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. And, of course, I am reading No Excuses by Gloria Feldt But, any way. I [...]

Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs

Geez, every time I write a  book review now, it feels like I haven’t made one in forever. So…Silver Borne… well. The series is really interesting, and I actually really liked how Silver Borne ended. Patricia Briggs is really good, but she might not be my favorite author ever, or at least, not for a [...]

Um…The Third Week of high school

Geez, It has been super busy: I’ve joined clubs, done work…oh my gosh, high school is TIRING. I like it though, because I’m so busy that I don’t even care what people think of me or how popular I am (or am not). No sparkle though. Sigh. I tried out for, and got into, the [...]

Laurell K. Hamilton: not for the weak of heart

Yes, I am back to doing book reviews. As for Laurell K. Hamilton…I am on the 18th, and last book of the Anita Blake series: Skin Trade. Let me just tell you that these books have held more gruesomely eviscerated bodies than probably all the rest of the books I’ve read in my life combined. [...]

The Third Circle By Amanda Quick: WHAT?! No Vampires?!

I must commemorate this book as my first to review that isn’t Fantasy. It’s…Historical Romance!! (Though it does have paranormal aspects, like hypnotists and magic crystal workers, but all I have in my defense is that it has nothing STRICTLY inhuman.) The Third Circle by Amanda Quick stars Leona, a crystal worker who meets a [...]

Undead and Unwed: Why do I review more Fluff than Anything Else these Days?

Well, here it comes, another fluff review. Maybe I should change my domain name to “fluffybeachreads.com”. Yeesh. It’s not like I don’t read anything but fluff, it’s just that EVERYONE knows what Pride and Prejudice is about. Or at least, I desperately hope you do. So here goes. Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson [...]

My Letter to Myself, as mentioned in 101 things #4

This is my letter that I wrote to my self for Language arts class, so those of you who want to do the “Letter to your future self” part of my “101 things#4″ post have something to go off of. It’s also kind of funny, in a weird sort of way. Dear me, Bonjour! If [...]

All I want for Christmas is a Vampire: the Review

Yes, the title is kind of pathetic. Well, more than kind of. But here’s a warning: this is not the first book in the series. Embarassingly, I read this one first, not knowing my mistake. Anyway. All I want for Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrilyn Sparks is a paranormal Romance about a woman named [...]

For all UN-Twilighters and Pro-Twilighters alike

This is a lovely link sent to me by my brilliant mother. It kills two birds with one stone: teaches people to correct other people AND effectively disses Twilight. Basic Instructions: How to Set someone Straight And to kill two birds with one stone for the other side: You like Twilight. You like Barbies. Here’s [...]
