Right, so I was doing very well at continuing to update this page everyday and then something happened. I got the worst case of hives ever. I can’t even put on a pair of shoes. It sucks. And I spent the better of the evenings this week on Benadryl (which seems to be doing sweet [...]

I will start this by saying I know pretty much next to nothing about graphic novels. But when the Cybils tell me that The Professor’s Daughter by Emmanuel Gilbert and Joann Sfar is a good one I’ll believe them. And since I enjoyed it I’ll agree.
The story is a bit quirky but that’s what makes [...]

Look! It’s a girl with half a head! *ahem*
I love Maureen Johnson. She’s funny and silly and just plain likable. And have I mentioned lately how happy I am that I now have a fantastic library system at my disposal where I can get books like hers just about any time? I mean Girl at [...]

I’ve decided I haven’t read nearly enough Sarah Dessen books. I read her blog regularly and I’ve read one of two of her books but I think I kind of need to read them all. Somone Like You was just sitting there on the shelf waiting for me to taking it home. So I did.
Halley, [...]

I was browsing the teen section of the library when I found If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where’s My Prince by Melissa Kantor. Cute title so I picked it up. I guess cute pretty much sums it up.
Lucy’s dad got married and made her move from San Fran to Long Island. Not exactly [...]

I’ve been wanting to read The Geography Club by Brent Hartinger for awhile. It’s YA, GLBT and it’s gotten good reviews. Unfortunately that whole not being part of a kick-ass library system for a year delayed it (*if* I ever move again I’m making sure I move someplace with a good library system, but [...]

Before I went on my vacation I downloaded the audio version of Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s The Off Season from the library, stuck it on my MP3 player and then proceeded not to listen to a single word of it while I was gone. Figures doesn’t it? But after I got back I was tired (why [...]

Ack! I listened to this on audio before I went on vacation and then totally forgot about it and almost completely forgot to blog about it. I didn’t even add it to my book list. Bad Sassymonkey!
I’m very happy to say that Ally Carter’s second Cammie Morgan book, Cross my Hear and Hope to Spy [...]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, because I never want to say this about any book or series, but the Kay Scarpetta series needs to die. Quickly. And not the slow painful death that Cornwell is putting them through.
Let me rewind…I started reading this series back in the last 1990s. I liked them. I like [...]

I really should have put more time between Cornelia Funke’s books. I liked Inkheart, really I did. But jumping into Inkspell right away was a bad idea. My brain was tired of the characters. Tired of the story. And tired of the characters not behaving in ways that I expected them to behave.
I didn’t dislike [...]
