I don’t remember exactly how I heard about this book, but I probably saw it on someone’s blog before it was released and added it to my TBR. This was also one of the very first Kindle books that I purchased for the amazing price of $2.99. It was worth every penny, and so many ... Read More »

During the 1980s and the 1990s, Choose Your Own Adventure books were extremely popular. I don’t remember how old I was when I read my first one, or if I even owned any of them. Mostly, I just remember reading one while on vacation, so I could have picked it up at a used bookstore ... Read More »

Some of you might be thinking, “Why did Jen read this book?” It’s that time of the month again where a book club pick made its way into my book pile. When I started this book club about 5 years ago, I wanted us to read different types of books. As we started to get the ... Read More »

I’ve had a copy of Crank on my bookshelf for several years now, and haven’t had any desire to pick it up and read it, though I can’t really explain ... Read More »
I’m extremely torn over The Girl Below by Bianca Zander. I plunged into the pages a little blind, barely grazing the surface of the story, not really considering all the underlying tones that are perhaps the most important in this novel.
