"I found out something about words. There are plenty of words I can put on paper, words I can see with my eyes and scribble with my hand, that I never had the guts to say with my mouth."
Since this year has started, I've only cried over two books. Winger by Andrew Smith is one of them. I'm not sure if it's Ryan Dean's moving, realistic voice that had me hooked, or if it was the way I could easily relate to the character and connect with them on such an intense level that made it so hard for me to accept that the book has ended. I felt for every character, even the assholes who I think I would have killed.
[image]
Winger has very short chapters which makes it almost impossible to put it down. Something is always happening with this book that makes readers either cry, laugh, or both. Throughout the novel Ryan Dean and have their moments especially with the teacher, I loved reading about Mrs. Singer and all of her crazy spells that she casts on Ryan Dean. But believe it or not, the protagonist was not my favourite character nor is he the reason for all my heartbreak and sobbing. That awards belongs to his best friend, Joey who, from the second he came into the story stole my heart and soul. Every obstacle he's faced with I was right there willing to jump into the novel and kill anyone who threatened him. Andrew Smith has written a beautiful story about some of the shit that teenagers go through that they truly shouldn't. Over words. Over labels that should absolutely nothing but of course, mean everything to some people. I fell in love with this book from the very beginning and even now, while I write this review, I am still crying over the ending.

What. A. Fucking. Ending.

With that being said, I'm not going to spoil it for you. It may shock you, this ending but it also may not but it did bring out emotions from my toughest critic friends and their hate for reading. I recommend everyone to read this book and hopefully fall in love with this as much as I have. It's beautiful. It's moving. It's relaxed and tense at just the right moments. It's books like this that keep me steadily reading YA novels with messages so great and moving that just thinking about them is bringing the tears back *cries for five more minutes*. Which is why Winger by Andrew Smith will always stay in my heart and be one of my favourite books from now on.

I'm glad I did because from the reviews I've read about this, I didn't miss much. Chasing The Skip had an interesting story line and okay idea, I was hoping to like it. But instead I was left with very stiff, annoying characters and a very disorganized story. There isn't anything that stood out to me in a good way because I couldn't get over the way Ricki acts throughout the whole story.
Ricki, throughout the books constantly changes her age from acting like a fifteen year-old to acting like a three year-old, to a ten-year old who has a crush on an older boy. At first, I thought this part was kind of cute, the relationship between Ian and Ricki is blooming and it's cute until it started to get annoying and stupid. What I really dislike about this book is that Ricki feels the need to impress Ian and change herself just so that he'll like her. I find that very stupid and not a very good message to send out to readers who might think that this is the case. The way she is around isn't the most annoying part of the book or even the character.
The most annoying part has to be how easily the author skips over the serious things that has happened to the father. I think that if Janci Patterson had explored the father and his situation that is his past a lot more, I could have enjoyed the relationship between him and Ricki. I was left feeling frustrated that I didn't know very much about the dad and his past life, or any of the characters for that matter. Ricki's best friend and boyfriend seem like ink on paper and nothing more.
With all of that been said, that wasn't anything that I liked about this book. I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone just because after reading this book, I felt cheated and left very disappointed....more

Mind Games is a really odd book. And by odd I mean I hate it but then I kind of like it at the same time. This is a 237 paged novel about assassins and love...Does that even make sense? Because it doesn't to me. It feels like huge chunks of the story were taken out and no one felt like making what was left into a proper story and just left it like that. Making close to no sense at all.
Everything moves really fast in the book. Many things are disorganized concerning the plot and the characters. In fact, there isn't any character building in the book, Fia's voice is very cluttered and unfocused, going from topic to topic in a very rough type of matter. And Annie feels like a blank wall, very stiff and very boring. I wish that Kiersten White put as much focus on Annie as she did with Fia because Annie does not feel like an important character in the story although she should. With Adam, the relation between him and Fia gives off an insta-love type of feeling that I did not like at all. And although the ending is a bit of a surprise, I think because the rest of the book is so predictable that I couldn't bring myself to care about it at all.
Fia is an odd character, and her voice is very cluttered but I sort of like it as well, I'm not exactly sure why. It's fresh and new but poorly executed and that's what makes me dislike it. But I love the fact that she has perfect instincts. I mean, how cool is that! She may not be a badass but she has some badass skills that make her very unique. Her relationship with James albeit familiar, is pretty good. The foundation for the relationship is there, and it's growing even with how predictable it is. Kiersten White did a nice job by making Annie blind but also a Seer, I think that just adds to how different this story is. I also like the four stories in one book aspect this book has because while reading about the adventures Annie and Fia go through, we're also learning about their histories and pasts.
Unfortunately, a unique story with some creativity doesn't help the story as much as it should because it's poorly executed. The story is very predictable and it's a shame because this could have been a very amazing book if it was given the proper care. I recommend this to anyone who has liked White's other novels or don't mind short stories that don't entirely make sense....more
This book isn't a book for me. I honestly thought I would love it, it sounds funny and like a very interesting, lighthearted read. Instead I got a disThis book isn't a book for me. I honestly thought I would love it, it sounds funny and like a very interesting, lighthearted read. Instead I got a disorganized book that is full of dumb and boring things. In the beginning, everything was going great, it was interesting and even a little funny. That quickly changed once I reached chapter four or five. The characters are all stiff and seem like complete jokes. Nothing interesting happens in this book that really caught my attention. It really annoyed me.
The writing style is just all over the place. It's very disorganized and confusing, acting more like a whiny girl's diary than anything else. At one point, she's trying to convince her new friends to help her figure out what to do about the HAG situation, then a few chapters later, Josie is the one who needs to be convinced to help. That just doesn't make sense at all. Something that really annoys me about this book is the romance. It is very shallow and annoying. They barely know each other but they're talking about each other like they've known each other forever instead of two weeks? No. That is stupid and wrong. But what annoys me even more is that Josie thinks she's some kind of investigator when she isn't. Not even close. The book doesn't help her prove that she's an investigator because there are little to no clues that keep readers guessing or makes this book a little more complex. The ending sucks because nothing interesting happens. Just a few heart-to-hearts between some of the characters.
I really like that this book uses difficult words instead of only using 'easy' words like, contrite and ostentatious (just to name a few). I like the beginning because it is interesting and funny at first. I wouldn't recommend this book because I don't think very many people would enjoy this book. It's very disorganized and stiff instead of the funny read you would have expected....more

In the After is your typical dystopian read. There's the corrupt government, the almost destroyed world, and then the survivors trying to take down the government/fight. However, with that being said, I actually enjoyed this book. Lunetta brings in a refreshing look and style to the things by forcing a love interest down until the very end and focusing as much time and effort into the main goal: survival. I had a lot of fun reading this action-packed story and can't wait for the next one.
Unfortunately, there are a few mishaps along the way. There's a lot of information given during despite it being really important, I felt that it could have been placed in a better place rather than shoved in the beginning. Also, the whole aliens thing is predictable, I knew right from the start and I would have loved it if Lunetta could have add more mystery to this part of the book.
Still, the setting and mood is perfectly described for the Before part of the book. The relationship between Baby and Amy is great, it's complex and realistic and I loved reading about how protective Amy is of her. Adding onto this, the characters are well-developed, especially Baby because of how different and strange she is. From day one, she knew the rules and obediently followed them. That still boggles my mind! Parts with the present and past and the memories had my full attention because they're so unique and different.
I'm not exactly sure what I was getting into when I first picked this one up. I was praying that it wouldn't be a typical Dystopian read. And albeit it is, it's so much more than that also, it's a refreshing look at Dystopian which I never knew could happen because they all seem to be about the same thing. Nonetheless, I recommend this read to everyone because it's different and it's action-packed and suspenseful. ...more

I only read the first two sentences and the first though that popped into my head was, Sweet! Evil creatures coming after girls who want to be the perfect ballet dancer! If you actually read the summary you know that I was wrong. Very wrong. Told from the perspective of America Singer comes a story about trust, love, and putting others first. The idea behind the story isn't original and pretty predictable, a more teenaged version of the bachelor but with a touch of dystopian in the mix.
It took me a long while before I could really get into the book because there are some things about it that really bothered me. Kiera Cass tries to portray America as a girl who doesn't come from a rich family and that having one glass of iced tea is a privilege. I just couldn't buy that or most of how America 'understands' how hard it can be when it comes to money because the book shows little struggle for her and her family. So many books have love triangles that don't work. It isn't realistic or reasonable, just boring and absurd. The romance in the book isn't any different, her emotions toward both the male characters are very predictable and boring.
The Selection is beautifully written. For the most part, if it weren't for the writing I don't think it would have been as hard as it was to put down. The writing and smooth and enjoyable, it's hard to stop reading and I actually felt kind of disappointed when I had to put it down. The other selected girls are very mysterious which I really enjoyed because it fits with the story. I like that Kiera Cass doesn't put too much information about the girls in this book because I don't think it would have been as good if we knew everything about the girls or most things. Although I have a hard time believing America's story about being on the tight end of the money scale, I enjoyed the way that everyone is organized and put into different caste depending on their role and how much they can help society. I find that interesting to see how other people are viewed because of their job occupation.
Overall, a good read. With not much adventure and a few surprises thrown in, The Selection is a light, funny read that left a small smile on my face after the story had ended. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something similar to the Bachelor as well as looking for a quick read that will change the way to look at people and how they live their lives....more

Oh, The Uprising is such a mess, it really is. Once I opened the novel, I was hurled into paragraph after paragraph of info-dumping about what happened in the first book. Not a good way to try to impress me, novel. The most important events in this book are very predictable, with only one detail, I knew exactly who was the monk, what would happen with Alenna and her gang, and the ending. I was kind of expecting The Uprising to be a let-down, but I didn't think it would ever be worse than the first one.
The romance is unbelievable this time around. Alenna and Liam are always touching each other and talking only to each other. They're together so much that I honestly think Liam wipes Alenna's ass as well. It's ridiculous that it's funny. Yes, it's funny to read about their romance because it's unrealistic and stupid. Lisa M. Stasse tries very hard to make Alenna and Liam into likable, caring leaders but it's obvious that these two only care about each other and no one else. Since all they do is talk to each other. Alenna as a character is boring and annoying, her need to be with Liam and fight for him made me laugh. She's nothing special, I don't understand why everyone loves her. Also, Liam is a blank canvas, nothing, nothing is even remotely interesting about him. Not even his, 'piercing blue eyes'.
I like the cover, it's so pretty! Yup, that's about all I liked about this book.
Lisa M. Stasse has created such a boring series. No doubt, there are times that I thought this series could have been great, with action packed scenes and an adorable romance. But instead, everything is contrived and boring, too forceful to even try to enjoy. And the romance is *shudders* I can't even. Don't read this unless you're willing to lose some brain cells. If I decide to read the third book, I'm sure as hell not doing that sober....more

This is a great book. I loved everything about it! Especially Gray who is the epitome of Swoony. He's so sweet with the way he acts with Emma and Bree.

Taken is a really bad book. This week, both book reviews have been on books that start out awesome but quickly fall flat on their faces. The only difference between these two books is that this one is far worse than Kindness for Weakness because this one is predictable before getting to the halfway point. And with that, instead of actually reviewing this I'm going to list everything I hated and use gifs because I'm lazy and I can't. I can't review this book properly, I just don't have it in me.
So, what's wrong with this book? Well:
1. Characters are so boring I screamed.
[image]
Honestly, I get why Bowman made Gray such a despicable character so that readers can find some redeeming qualities and blah blah blah. But the other characters are annoying. Stiff, stupid, etc. The only one I found slightly better than the rest is Emma because she's a bitch to Gray at the end. That's it, all the others make me want to:

2. World Building
The town of Claysoot is actually well put together. I could easily see how the community works and comes together as one. It's realistic and well described but then is ruined by the country it is in. That country is just a sloppily done mess that's built far too fast.
3. The love triangle
Can it even be called that? Because I feel like it's better to describe it as children playing house.
4. Predictable

Before the half way mark, I knew the ending.
I've read a few dystopian so I would have easily let a few of these things go. Crappy world building? Okay, fine. But then nothing good happened the whole time, nothing held my attention and made me grateful that I kept reading. Which is why I hate this book. A freaking lot.
Usually, when it comes to books with such a serious topic, they hit me at my core and stick with me for a very long time. There is just so much pull aUsually, when it comes to books with such a serious topic, they hit me at my core and stick with me for a very long time. There is just so much pull and emotion with these kinds of books that they are my weak spot. Out Of Reach does not fall in that category for me. Even though I love the cover and the synopsis of this story really pulled me, that was about it. I don't like any of the characters enough to care and I was pretty apathetic towards the ending.
Carrie Arcos tries to make a lot of the scenes in her debut novel try to seem like they are intense but like other authors, doesn't quite do it. I don't like any of the characters because they're stiff and boring. Nothing they do pulls much emotion out of me. Also, this book is about a sister and her love for her brother who is addicted to meth. There isn't much information on the actual drug, how the brother reacted, or anything like that. I feel like Carrie Arcos only picked up a pamphlet and wrote little things about the drug in her book instead of actually researching and adding things that the general public wouldn't know.
Another thing that I don't like about this book is that there are far too many flashback and memories. I understand that she enjoys reliving her time spend with her brother, but it seems that on every single page, Rachel is having a flashback. In other words, there seems to be little information about Micah before he left but a shit load when they were kids or younger.
What I do like about Out of Reach is that the chapters are short and it's easy to finish a few chapters in only a matter of minutes. Like I said before, I really like the cover, it shows that some people truly are out of reach and in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend this book since I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked to. But if I were, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoy books about sibling relationships and how far someone will go to find the one person they love and truly care about. ...more
Burn For Burn is not a great start to this series, but I don't dislike this book either. Told from the perspectives of Lillia, Kat, and Mary. Even thoBurn For Burn is not a great start to this series, but I don't dislike this book either. Told from the perspectives of Lillia, Kat, and Mary. Even though the idea for this isn't very unique, it's really interesting and fun to read about the pranks the girls pull on people. Most of the characters are stiff and sort of hard to relate to while others are okay, better in some ways than others. My favourite character is Alex because he gets pretty embarrassed throughout the book by a lot of the other characters but still tries to see the good in people.
I find all of the main characters annoying either from one point to another or all of the time. Mary is the worst because she's constantly whining and complaining about how her life hasn't changed, Reeve doesn't notice her, and that she isn't pulling her weight with the pranks. The way Marie is at the end of the book is...Odd. I can't put a finger on why, but the ending is kind of rushed and choppy to me. Another thing that I don't like is the quick fix relationship between Kat and Lillia because it doesn't seem like something two realistic teens would do. They go from complete (for the most part) strangers to best friends again, who tell each other everything. Maybe for second graders this is realistic, but not for teenage girls.
Burn For Burn has some good qualities about it as well, like the writing style. It's smooth with great detail about the island and just enough flashbacks to keep it interesting. The chapters are really short, it's easy to read 100 pages without realizing it because the transitioning from each character is so smooth. There are different perspectives in the story which always keeps a book interesting and fun to read about. For covers, this one is so beautiful. It's very sophisticated and secretive and I cannot stop looking at it.
Overall, not a bad read. It's light enough to finish in a day or two but heavy enough to linger in your mind for a few days.

AlFirst of all, I would like to thank the Publisher, HarperTeen for giving me an ARC of this book to review. Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! All right, now for my review.
(My Opinion)
I can understand why some people won't enjoy this because there are many times where Sam randomly talks about his dick and how 'heavy' it gets and more often than not, about the size of the Girls' waists and boobs. September Girls starts off very sloppily and a bit disorganized. The second we meet new characters, there's a bit of info-dumping that also makes it hard to know whether or not Sam is talking about them in the past or the present. If readers aren't used to the minds of teenage boys then this book may be offensive and just plain weird. But I did like this, don't get me wrong. It's just a bit confusing at times.
Throughout the story, the writing style is really weird. It seems like Bennett Madison is trying to write the story really fancy-like and 'professional' (not really the word I wanted to use but it'll do) but with a mix of teenage boy humour added in which, in fact, doesn't quite work well in the author's favour. Even if the writing wasn't as awkward, there isn't much dialogue as I would have liked. It seems like the chapters are all just really long monologues rather than a realistic story with dialogue. Another thing that I felt could have been done better is the ending, it drags on for far too long about things that, in my opinion, don't matter in the slightest.
In between the chapters that are narrated by Sam, there are small, two or three pages devoted to the Girls. This gives readers a chance to get to know the Girls better and a little in sight on what their lives are like. Which leads me into the characters. Most of the characters are okay with simple characteristics for some and more complex things for others to keep everything fun. For some reason, I can't get enough of Sam. Although the character has some faults and mishaps, I have a soft spot for him and his weirdness. It's easy for me to relate to him and his ways of coping with his parents separating and things like that. The character of DeeDee is also another one that I like. I love how different she is and the way she treats Kristle even though they're not-really-sisters-but-kind-of. The relationship between these two characters, DeeDee and Sam, is too cute. It's realistic and confusing and amazing. Every second they're together, I get really squealy and happy and sometimes angry with the way Sam sometimes acts. But I still love him.
September Girls is not a book for everyone. It's a new take with girls being beautiful and blonde and most definitely 'hipsters'. But I did enjoy it, there are some good things about this story that can be seen if you just look past all of the guy-ish things that may annoy readers. I recommend this to anyone who like retellings and stories about summer and don't mind male humour that comes along with this. Besides, what kind of person doesn't like mermaids and their beautiful selves? ...more
Black heart is the last book in the curse workers trilogy (sadly. I want more books in this series so good!) The series is told from the perspective oBlack heart is the last book in the curse workers trilogy (sadly. I want more books in this series so good!) The series is told from the perspective of Cassel Sharpe. The idea for this book is kind of expected but there are quite a few surprises that keep it interesting. Most of the characters are great, I think that Cassel and his brother, Barron step out of their comfort zones and do things out of the rightness of their hearts. But, there are a few characters that I think are stiff, choppy, and just boring. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with excellence but all I got was mediocre.
Believe it or not, this book is my least favourite in the series. I’m not sure if it’s because I had really high hopes for it or if I knew a lot about Cassel’s world that small shockers didn’t shock me and threats didn’t make me squeal with joy and excitement. A few of the tricks in the book are pretty predictable and boring, nothing interesting to think about which kind of sucks because I was expecting to be constantly surprised and squealing with excitement.
IT IS VERY HARD TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I couldn’t let it out of my grasp for more than twenty minutes before I started to get antsy about all the fun that awaited me in the book. The relationship between Cassel and Lila is pretty intense. Holly Black does a great job keeping it interesting between the characters. It could go either way for them which I like since it kept me guessing. I love the writing style for this series. Just reading Black Heart makes me feel like I actually am Cassel Sharp which is something I think every writer wants to achieve with their readers. Not all of the twists and cons that Cassel and his friends pull off are predictable which kept me interested.
Overall, Black Heart is a good read. The characters (for the most part) are fun to read about and really jump off the pages. The writing style is smooth and easy to read. I would recommend this series to EVERYONE. It is amazing and everyone will have a good time reading and laughing at the things and events that happen in this series....more
This story is really cute. But that seems to be all it is. While it didn't blow me away, I still enjoyed it.
Right off the bat, within the first few cThis story is really cute. But that seems to be all it is. While it didn't blow me away, I still enjoyed it.
Right off the bat, within the first few chapters I knew too much information. I wish that Mindee Arnett spaced out the information a lot more so that it didn't overwhelm me. Not only did the chapters have too much information but there are a lot of clichés that made me want to roll my eyes and pull my hair out. Especially when Dusty gets very jealous and pouty over the smallest things (mostly Eli related). Almost every character blends into the book. And this isn't a good thing. Upon finishing this, I forgot the names of the main characters. None of them stick out nor held my attention long enough for me to remember their names. Which is sad because I really wanted to love Dusty.
Throughout the story, there are many references that Dusty's mother is, 'such a badass' and, 'a legend' yet, nowhere in the book is there proof of any of this. And even where there is, it only touches it for a bit and then moves on to the next thing. There isn't anything that made me believe that her mother is in fact, someone who shouldn't be reckoned with. I didn't enjoy the ending either because it isn't intense at all. It's flimsy and seems more humourous and weak rather than one of the stronger points in the book.
Nightmares! How cool is that? I've heard and read about almost every other kind of fantasy creature out there except for nightmares. This helps keep the story a bit more interesting. The Nightmare Affair is well written. The words flow together and have a cute, sort of humour style to it that I enjoyed. It helps make the clichés and practicableness more bearable.
Although I didn't like the book as much as I'd like to but it is a light enough read that it didn't bother me too much. I would recommend this to everyone just because it has a kind of Sabrina the Teenage Witch feel to it and come on, who didn't love that show?
Team Human is told from the perspective of Mel. We learn a reasonable amount about her life and how much she hates vampires. I have to say that I thouTeam Human is told from the perspective of Mel. We learn a reasonable amount about her life and how much she hates vampires. I have to say that I thought this book was going to turn out completely different from what it actually is. Vampire stories have been popular for quite a while now, so I thought this one was going to be the same as the others. It's different because instead of Mel liking the vampire, it's her best friend, Cathy who actually likes him. There was a lot of repetition of how much Mel hates vampires in the story and it got pretty annoying. The characters are funny and easy to read about. I loved Mel's sense of humour even though I didn't like her motives of keeping Cathy away from her boyfriend.
Usually, best friend are very supportive of each other and try to help one another. I didn't like Mel's intentions in the story because it's harsh and is sending out a pretty mean message--You can only date people your best friend approves of. I wished the authors chose a different idea because this one agitated me a lot. I also didn't like that Mel acted like a spoiled brat for most of the book. She's very hot-headed, angry, and loves to yell.
Team Human is a light-hearted read (for the most part). I finished it in a day because I found both Kit and Mel hilarious. I really enjoyed the writing style for this book because it's smooth and organized. Also, I liked that Mel is Asian! There aren't many fantasy stories where the main character doesn't have, "deathly pale skin."
Overall, a pretty good read. I would recommend it to people who enjoy vampire books and are looking for an unexpected ending....more

I have yet to read a book about war that I disliked a lot that also doesn't have a typical love triangle in it.
Told from Travis' perspective, a story about falling for the unexpected, helping the ones you love, and trying to move on from a painful past. There were some things that made me want to roll my eyes in the book. The idea behind this story wasn't very original but Trish Doller made it creative with original characters and such a harsh reality about not being able to save your best friend.
Like I mentioned before, the love triangle between Ryan, Paige, and Travis didn't surprise me because nothing about it was mostly typical with nothing special. The character of Harper was at first, amazing. She had blind fury (especially when she punched Travis), witty sense of humour, and she was pretty complexed. At first. After a few chapters with Harper, it seemed like everything interesting about the way she reacted towards Travis had vanished. Then she seemed like your typical lovestruck girl. Even though I really love fast-paced books, there were parts where it was too fast on the really important parts. I wished Trish Doller slowed it down a little bit an explained more about the relationship between Travis and Ryan and Travis and Charlie.
I liked the relationship between Harper and Travis most os the time because there were a few bumps with them that showed just how serious they wanted to be together. The character of Travis was really creative and well written with the way he felt not only towards Harper but also Paige. I liked how Paige still had an annoying hold on him because it was a little different from other books. The fact that he was having nightmares and visions about his late best friend, Charlie. Travis seemed so real to me, as if I knew him just from reading about him, it was great.
I would recommend this story to everyone to read because of the message this book gives off. And even though this is fiction, it showed that some soldiers are not okay. Also for people who like when the guy gets punched in the face by girls....more
