These Books Slayed Me So Hard I Can’t Review Them | Top Ten Tuesday

This week’s TTT is a freebie, which gives me license to talk a little bit about some books that slayed me so hard, I just can’t review them because I’m not worthy.  1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6. 7.   8.  9.  10. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I did a readalong with Sarah (@readthisya) ages ago, so we have notes on this, but I’ve never been able to get a review up…I think we basically just fangirled all over it because this book was SO DARN GOOD. Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty – this book is one of my all-time favourite […]

“Call Me, Call Me, Any, Anytime”: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

July 11, 2014 / 8 Comments / Posted by Tiff @ Mostly YA Lit in Review, Uncategorized
“Call Me, Call Me, Any, Anytime”: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Landline Author: Rainbow Rowell (twitter | website) Publisher: St. Martin’s Press (MacMillan/Raincoast Books) Source/Format: ARC from BEA14 (thank you, MacMillan!) Publication date: July 8, 2014  My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.  Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems besides the point now. Maybe that was always besides the point. Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up […]

Eleanor & Park read-along: Chapters 37-45!

Hi guys! Welcome to the Chapter 37-45 post on Eleanor & Park for our readalong! Thoughts from our read-along participants: The things that happen to her at gym are just so awful I could barely stand to read it. Even worse, I understood exactly how she felt. (Not that I’ve been through that exactly but close). I was right there for every ounce of humiliation and hopelessness and shame that she felt.  – Rachel @ Reading Timbits [“Those little bitches…” Mrs. Burt sighed.] LOL. That was hilarious.  –Ardo @A.A. Omer I was almost crying over the intimacy/sexual scenes…And the fact […]

Hey guys, welcome to our Eleanor & Park read-along discussion post for Chapters 11-19. Apologies for getting this up so late! First, some thoughts from read-along participants:  “I loved the line on 71 where Park compares Eleanor’s hands to a heartbeat and butterflies which I thought was so good.” – Ardo @ A. A. Omer The HAND-HOLDING. Holy cow. I felt like my pages were bursting into flames at that moment. – Tiff @ Mostly YA Lit Park is just so sweet- almost to the point of being too perfect. – Rachel @ Reading Timbits Those first phone convos as […]
