Book Review: Divide and Conquer by Carrie Ryan

July 30, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Book Review Divide and Conquer Infinity Ring Carrie Ryan

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Divide and Conquer, book 2 in the Inifinity Ring series, starts off talking about Paris which was actually where the last game ended and not where book 1 ended.  It was a cool way to tie the online games in with the books. ...

Book Review: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

July 22, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Book Review Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand

The thing that really got me to read Atlas Shrugged was a) I thought Rory Gilmore read it (she actually read The Fountainhead though) and b) the back of the book says "This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did."   How cool does ... Read More »

Book Review: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

July 15, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  The action starts right from the beginning.  There is no time wasted to get straight to this plot full of twists and turns that kept me surprised.  I like to try and predict what is going to happen, but in this book I ...

Book Review: The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale

July 1, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Book Review The Actor and the Housewife Shannon Hale

The Actor and the Housewife was an emotional journey full of Shannon's usual charm and wit. It explored really well the idea of whether a men and a women can be "just friends."  I got to live out the fantasy vicarioulsy of "What if you met your ultimate Hollywood crush" and it was a lot of ...

Book Review: Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

June 6, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Clockwork Princess Cassandra Clare

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  This is how a series should end.  You should be glued to the pages and so invested about what is going to happen next to these characters.  There should be a twist that shocks you so much you feel like whacking your sleeping ...
