Book Review: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

November 6, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Anna and the French Kiss was a cute teen romance with delightful writing.  There was lots of drama which is very realistic to what teen relationships are really like. So what are teen relationships really like? Hint: they lack communication and have lots of drama.  The couple in this book fights a lot which I found ... Read More »

Audiobook Review: Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton

October 21, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

After watching the movie Soul Surfer, I wanted to read the original biography that the movie was based on.  The story line in this book was very similar to the movie but I think I liked the movie better.  The movie focused on her struggles and overcoming them.  The book focused more on her life before and ...

Book Review: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

Book Review: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

September 30, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

The subtitle for We Were Liars should be, "I Can't Remember the Really Stupid Thing I Did Last Summer."  I read this book because there was a lot of hype around it. "Crazy Twist Ending! Must Read!" is what everyone said.  I don't normally read contemporary YA books, but I decided this one might be ... Read More »

Book Review: The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson

September 3, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Elisa has been growing and changing throughout the series and The Bitter Kingdom was no exception.  She starts to define herself by trying new things and seeing what she likes instead of focusing on comparing herself to others, especially her sister, and coming up ...
