Goodreads Review: Thirteen Reasons Why

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher My rating: 2 of 5 stars You can’t blame me for having high expectations for Jay Asher’s debut, Thirteen Reasons Why. Even if it hadn’t been hyped all over the blogosphere, its very pretty* cover tells the story of its accolades: a New York Times bestseller, a Kirkus starred [...]

A Goodbye

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

It was a rainy day when we first arrived in Gainesville, only that’s an understatement, as “rainy” is always an understatement for August in Florida–just miles before we crossed the state line from Georgia into Gainesville the air seemed to shift, becoming heady, humid, and then it started falling in silver sheets.

Goodreads Review: The Cat Ate My Gymsuit

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger My rating: 3 of 5 stars Warning: this review might make me sound like an old person.

Teaser Tuesday: Insert Joke about Wetness HERE

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

I’m a little unsure as to how to proceed from here with teasers–there’s a lot of material I could share that would be dangerously spoileriffic.

Goodreads Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King My rating: 4 of 5 stars I still can’t believe how well Stephen King does women. Or in this case, a girl. As someone only a handful of years older than Trisha McFarland, the deliciously spunky, undoubtedly strong heroine of King’s novella The Girl Who Loved [...]

Various Sundries: Desks, Twitter, and Trendy Writing

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Oh my god, guys! I’ve been so busy! So busy that I half-started a post on Wednesday’s YA Highway Roadtrip Wednesday Topic (because, as someone about to give away all of her furniture, move, and get new stuff–including a new desk; I can’t wait!–I have a lot to say about it!). But alas, it’s been [...]
