The Right Track, Baby

Lady Gaga. What do you think of when you hear that name? What comes to mind when someone says those two simple words? I think of the exotic outfits, the pieces of art she calls clothing. The group dance numbers, forever fun and refreshing. I think of her promotion of equality and loving yourself. The […]

Linger by Maggie Steifvater

My Rating: 2 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** To be honest, I only got to about page 100 of this book. It failed to grab my attention from the first page. I think one of the problems was that every chapter – and sometimes in the middle of the chapter – […]

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

My Rating: 2 stars Okay. So, I didn’t read this whole book. I got to about 120 pages into the book and completely lost interest. The only thing I kind of liked about the book was the plot. The book was about a girl who had this kind of “sixth sense” of detecting the dead. […]

To Kill a Mockingbird

My Rating: 5 stars I don’t think I can describe how much I loved watching this movie. I got to watch it in school, and I feel like some of the kids didn’t enjoy the movie as much as I did. The movie was almost exactly like the book, but with few plot changes to […]

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

My Rating: 5 stars Just when Mia thinks everything is going somewhat okay, her life ends…literally. In a terrible car accident with her parents and younger brother, Mia thinks she’s okay at first; that she is the only one who survived. But then she sees the paramedics carrying her body away. As she is in […]

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

My Rating: 3 stars Grace was attacked by wolves when she was younger. Ever since then, she had this strange attachment to this one wolf with golden eyes – the one that saved her. Ever since then, she was obsessed with the wolves that lived in the forest behind her house. After a local boy […]

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

My rating: 5 stars Scout and Jem Finch spent a good part of their childhood obsessing over their next door neighbor, Arthur “Boo” Radley, who was rumored to be slightly crazy. But now that they’re older, and more involved with and exposed to more adult topics, most of their time is centered on the trial. […]

Upcoming books!

There are so many books out there to read, sometimes I just can’t keep track. So here’s a small list of upcoming books in series that that I have been reviewing and blogging about: • The Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver: The second book, Pandemonium, will be released February 2012 and the last book, Requiem, […]

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

My Rating: 5 stars The United States is now a place where love or ‘amor deliria nervosa’ is illegal. It’s considered a disease. It’s been sixty four years since love was announced as a disease. Forty three since there has been a cure. Every person: woman, man and child, live in fear of contracting this […]

The Brave by Robert Lipsyte

My Rating: 1 star This book was honestly a waste of my time. I had to read it for an English project in school this past month, and although I did well with my assignments, I didn’t enjoy the book at all. Half the time I felt like I didn’t really know what was going […]
