Working at a bookstore has my TBR pile constantly growing as I get recommendations from fellow employees and from customers alike. I also have a habit of picking up a couple of new YA books when I’m at the library, meaning I’m never lacking something to read. These five books are ones that I’ve hadRead More
Review: We Are the Ants
“Depression isn’t a war you win. It’s a battle you fight every day. You never stop, never get to rest.” -Shaun David Hutchinson, We Are the Ants This is another book that I read with my friend Alyssa for a book club that she’s doing for one of her classes. It’s also a book thatRead More
Character Playlist: Ron Weasley
Ron Weasley is known for his sidekick-humor charm in the movies. However, in the books, he’s much more than just a supplement to Harry’s hero qualities and Hermione’s intelligence–Ron is there through thick and thin. Not only that, Ron is incredibly witty in the books, and many of his best moments are overlooked in theRead More
Character Playlist: Gale Hawthorne
Moody and handsome, Gale is the other heartthrob from The Hunger Games series. At first, we all think that Gale is the perfect match for Katniss, but we quickly see how fast power corrupts him. Gale is a complex and interesting character, though perhaps not very likable by the end of the series. Here isRead More
Review: Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies
“But we have one unbreakable rule in the Quick family. We don’t steal from one another. We just don’t.” -Lindsay Ribar, Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies One hundred percent, the first thing that caught my attention about this book was the title. This author, Lindsay Ribar, is definitely way better at thinking up titles than IRead More
Review: None of the Above
“The biggest difference between boys and girls is how people treat them.” -I.W. Gregorio, None of the Above This particular book was on my to-read list for a long time before I actually read it; school mostly got in the way, and then I forgot about it until I wrote an article about gender non-conformingRead More
Katniss Everdeen is Asexual–And Why That’s Important
The Hunger Games made a big splash in the young adult world back when it was first published in 2008. Since then, a lot of authors have been trying to recreate the success of The Hunger Games series, but none have quite reached the same rate of popularity. As happens with most popular YA series lately, TheRead More
Character Playlist: Charlie Kelmeckis
Stephen Chbosky, Perks of Being a Wallflower I missed posting a playlist last week, mostly because things were a little hectic here and I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this year, so I’ve been focusing mostly on that. But as I’m waiting for the election results to roll in, I thought making a playlist would be theRead More
Review: The Girl on the Train
“There’s nothing so painful, so corrosive, as suspicion.” -Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train I’m not usually one to see the movie before the book, especially if the book is one I’ve been wanting to read for a while, but this is one time I did things backwards. I saw The Girl on theRead More
Review: Every Last Word
My good friend Alyssa and I are both bloggers (her blog can be found here), and we decided to read a book together and collaborate on the blog post about it! Alyssa is currently pursuing her Masters at Ohio State in children’s/young adult literature, and will eventually earn her PhD and become a professor. WeRead More
