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 [...]

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 [...]

Goodreads Review: Breaking Dawn
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer My rating: 1 of 5 stars Ho boy. So I mildly enjoyed the first two books in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series–enough that I considered myself somewhat of a Twilight apologist. No, no, I tried to convince the naysayers, she’s really not all bad! Though I found Twilight and New Moon [...]

Goodreads Review: Pucker
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Pucker by Melanie Gideon My rating: 4 of 5 stars My mother loves many things, but two more than most: books and thrift shopping. Sometimes she combines the two, grabbing unusual hardcovers for a dollar or so from her favorite thrift store. Because she’s awesome, she sometimes mails them to me. Often wonderful, these are [...]

Goodreads Review: The Forest of Hands and Teeth
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars It’s difficult for me to review Carrie Ryan’s first novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth objectively–because I can’t help but feel like there were two very different books packed into the volume’s three-hundred-some-odd pages. The first was the delicately [...]

Goodreads Review: Paper Towns
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Paper Towns by John Green My rating: 3 of 5 stars When I was seventeen, I read Fight Club for the first time and fell in love. It was one of the first truly clever books I’d ever encountered. I was a suburban kid with a mohawk who hadn’t yet been kissed, and yet Palahniuk’s [...]

Teaser Tuesday: The Date
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
My teaser today, which draws inspiration from the infamous Tillie of Asbury Park (pictured above), comes from Loril (merman extraordinaire) and Irene’s first date. Irene’s been drinking, but Loril doesn’t know that yet. He’s more concerned with how her younger sister, Evie, just stomped off in a huff: “That’s your sister? You’re so different.” Irene [...]

Goodreads Review: Nick and the Glimmung
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Nick and the Glimmung by Philip K. Dick My rating: 2 of 5 stars I don’t like David Lynch. I know, I know. This probably makes me a bad person. (And, I know, too, that you’re probably shaking your head, asking how this could possibly be relevant to this review, but I promise you that [...]
