Book Review: Supernaturally by Kiersten White

September 22, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free, even if you haven't read Paranormalcy #1. Supernaturally is deeper and darker than Paranormalcy. It's a little more serious and dramatic and wasn't as lighthearted as the first one. It has great action and it kept me guessing through the whole thing. Definitely a page-turner for me.  It also answers a lot of questions ... Read More »

Book Review: Crossed by Ally Condie

September 20, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

This review is spoiler free, even if you haven't read Matched.  I got this Advanced Reading Copy from a giveaway from poetrytoprose.com. Crossed is like 1984 meets My Side of the Mountain. I took my time reading this book and when I sat back and thought about it, I realized that it was because the writing ... Read More »

Book Review: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

September 6, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I found myself alternately heart broken at Evie's life and laughing at the way she looked at it.  I felt like laughing and crying at the same time throughout the whole thing. Kiersten White's writing style was utterly unique and very entertaining. I can't remember the last time that I read something so wonderfully sarcastic ... Read More »

Book Review: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

August 1, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

I loved the mixing of Roman and Greek mythology. Rick Riordan takes Percy Jackson up a notch. There's more love stories going on and I liked the deep thoughts about the power of love. If you haven't read the Percy Jackson series, this will definitely spoil the whole series for you.   But to me, ... Read More »

Book Review: The Woman I Was Born To Be by Susan Boyle

July 10, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

It gets slow in the middle, but when you get to the part about her overnight fame and her incredibly honest reaction to it, it was very inspiring. If you've never heard her audition from Britain's Got Talent, then look it up on YouTube before you read this book. Content Rating: Mild, at the most there ... Read More »
