My Nose is Stuck in a Book

October 7, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

There is no Flashback Friday today.  I've got lots of reading to catch up on!  I need to finish Oliver Twist so I can then read The Maze Runner AND The Scorch Trials before The Death Cure comes out at midnight on Monday!  That means I have to read 880+ pages in 4 days. Whew! ... Read More »

Book Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry

October 6, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

The Giver was moving, beautiful, and deep.  The world reminded me a lot of Matched by Ally Condie. I'm glad I read it as an adult. It might have gone over my head if I'd read it in middle school. It was pretty deep and serious stuff. I'm still thinking about it. To be honest, I'm ... Read More »

In My Mailbox was inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie and is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the week. Since I LOVE book cover art on my kindle, I took my own pictures of the covers of my ebooks. Oliver Twist ... Read More »

Flashback Friday: I’m Not in Utah Anymore

September 30, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Flashback Friday 2 Comments

Flashback Friday is where I post some writing of my life as a younger me.  This is a continuation of my cross-country road trip to Vermont from Utah that I took when I was 13.  If you want to read about my drive there, read the post "Life is an Endless Highway." When we finally got ... Read More »
