Release by Patrick Ness | Waiting on Wednesday

Reasons RELEASE by Patrick Ness is on the tippy-top of my To Be Read list: 1) It’s inspired by Mrs. Dalloway, my favorite novel by my favorite author Virginia Woolf. Like, on my top 5 favorite books of ALL TIME. 2) It’s written by Patrick Ness, King of Cats, YA author extraordinaire of gems like The Rest of Us Just Live Here, A Monster Calls, and the soul destroying The Knife of Never Letting Go. Oh yeah, and he also wrote Class, the Doctor Who spinoff. 3) Reading a Ness book is always about pushing the envelope in some way – […]

Review: The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

Warning: There is some profanity in this book and this review – it’s not extreme, but it might be something that puts some parents off.  I’m gonna tell it to you straight: The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness is bit of a roast. It’s funny, it’s snarky, and it doesn’t hold back on making fun of some of the conventional concepts and ideas in YA books right now. This is only my second Patrick Ness book (my first was The Knife of Never Letting Go), but it’s vastly different from the one I read before, which […]

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is posted on Instagram, and it’s my Fall 2015 to be read list. It’s actually a crapload longer than this, but these are the highlights, in no particularly order. 1. When We Collided by Emery Lord (pub date: April 5, 2016): I got this ARC a few weeks ago from Bloomsbury (thank you!), and it’s absolutely at the top of Mount TBR because EMERY. 2. Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales (pub date: Sept 15, 2015): my most anticipated fall read about one crazy night and bloggers. I’m holding back on reading this for […]

#TopTenTuesday: Finished Series to Finish (or Start)

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is all about finished series that you need to finish…but I’ve discovered that I’m actually pretty darn good at finishing series when I’ve started them! I know, I can’t believe it either, but I think it has to do with my obsession with closure and the fact that I’m very picky about the series I start. Because my TTT is so short this week, I thought I’d add in some finished series I’ve been meaning to read as well! Finished Series I Need to Finish: 1. Patrick Ness’ Chaos Walking series: like, it’s actually embarrassing […]
