Review: Requiem – Lauren Oliver

Review: Requiem – Lauren..

I was lucky, SUPER lucky and got to read this book back in November when a friend lent me her Advanced Readers Copy. To say I devoured it would be a huge understatement.  I read the whole book in probably less than 8 hours and it has taken me 3 months to get my thoughts on paper, 3 months to realize it is over, 3 months to accept that Lena’s story is done(well until the TV show starts!).  Why has it taken me so long? Truth: I’m devastated it’s over. I loved this series with everything I have and when […]

Second Chance Sunday – Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Second Chance Sunday – P..

Seldom is there a book that I am so excited for I run out to purchase it the day it’s released. And rarely does that book live up to my expectation. It is like that movie that people tell you over and over to see that gets built up in your head and then after you see it, total disappointment. It has happened to me before and it will happen again so I was worried about Pandemonium. Did I put too much stock into it? Would it be a “sophomore” slump sp to speak? With the amazingness of Delirium, it […]

Review: Bitterblue – Kristin Cashore

Review: Bitterblue – Kri..

And the Graceling spark is back! What a great, great ending to a pretty amazing series that I almost never read. If you have read my reviews of Graceling and Fire you know that while I loved Graceling to pieces, Fire was definitely not my favorite. I liked it a lot, but I didn’t love it. So with one book left in the series I was scared. I had no idea what I was getting in the final chapter of the story. Well, folks, I got exactly what I hoped for. I got a story that was almost as good […]

Second Chance Sunday – Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Second Chance Sunday – D..

With the countdown to Requiem (pre-order here), the final book in Lauren Oliver’s amazing series, which comes out on March 5th, I am going to use the next two Second Chance Sunday’s to rediscover the first two books. I have already read Requiem and it is amazing(review on that to come). It is everything Delirium was with a lot of Pandemonium added. Although I’m sad to see the series end, my love of it still holds strong. To say I loved this book would be a huge understatement.  As many can attest I have suggested and pushed this book on […]

Review: Fire – Kristin Cashore

Review: Fire – Kristin C..

For me, it was hard to top the amazingness that was Graceling. You read my review (if you didn’t you can check it out here), you heard me gush about it and call it even better than The Hunger Games. And I truly believe that. Bust sadly Fire just wasn’t up to that level. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the ‘prequel’-like story and I loved Brigan and Fire for the most part, but it just didn’t hit me the same way as Katsa and Po’s story did. Fire is the story of a girl named Fire that lives […]
