Animal, Vegetable, Mineral has been sitting on my shelf for about a year. I remember I bought at the Annex Book City in Toronto on my way to meet some friend’s a Pauper’s Pub for pints. I was running early (TTC either had me places 20 minutes early or 10 minutes late - I never [...]

Warning: This book is not for people freaked out by the thought of the end of the world as we know it and/or paranoid conspiracy theorists.
That being said, Susan Beth Pfeffer’s Life As We Knew It is fan-freaking-tastic - with extra emphasis on the freaking. It’s good and if you haven’t read it yet [...]

I’ve had The Boy in the Striped Pajamas on my radar for awhile. But then Denise posted about it recently and reminded me that I wanted to read it. So I sat down today and read it and OMG. Read this book. Nowwwwwwwwww.
But you probably don’t want your nine year old reading it even though [...]

I made a startling discovery today. It turns out that I never actually finished reading The Stupidest Angel. I’ve owned it for several years but apparently never finished reading it.
So today I did.
And really, nothing is better for Christmas than a book that has zombies. And fruit bats. And stupid angels.
Seriously, just read it. I [...]

Awesome. Just freaking made of awesome. And a first novel! Yes, I’d still marry John Green.
To be honest, I was a bit wary of reading Looking for Alaska. I mean, sure, it won the Printz Award and all but I really, really loved An Abundance of Katherines. Katherines was one of the best [...]

Some of you may know that that I am somewhat obsessed with Brotherhood 2.0. While I had known about John Green before that I hadn’t read his books. And what most of you won’t know is that through Brotherhood I’ve developed a wee crush on John Green. How can you not? Ok, [...]

After posting last night I grabbed it to read one chapter in it before I went to sleep. Well…that one chapter turned into the rest of the book. Sigh.
I love it. As much as I will acknowledge that I feel like I should have read To Kill a Mockingbird earlier, I’m kind of glad that [...]

I first heard about this book in Harper Collins First Look review section. Since then I’ve seen it pop up a few places. And I can understand why.
I loved this book. And it’s been awhile since I read a YA book that I really, really liked. I mean I’ve liked some recently but [...]

Not surprising at all but I loved this. I loved this so much that I missed seeing every goal in the hockey game last night. I’d look up and go “Hey! They scored! When did that happen???” (And really, who expects there to be a goal in the first 16 seconds of play???)
Also [...]
