LOGO DESIGN LOVE by David Airey

September 17, 2014

LOGO DESIGN LOVE by David AireyLogo Design Love is a book that borrows the name of the author’s website, also Logo Design Love. When I picked up this book, I didn’t know that. I was looking for books on graphic design at the library, when Logo Design Love caught my eye. It’s specific to logos, which was something along the lines that I was looking for.

THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton

September 15, 2014

THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye WaltonThe Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender and I developed a love-hate relationship of sorts. The promises made in the prologue was wondrous and I was so excited to continue reading. By the time I reached the end I felt empty. I loved the style of writing adopted in the prologue. It captured my attention so vividly, I fully expected to fall in love with the rest of the story. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

16 THINGS I THOUGHT WERE TRUE by Janet Gurtler

August 27, 2014

16 THINGS I THOUGHT WERE TRUE by Janet Gurtler16 Things I Thought Were True is a misnomer. The proper title should have been 17 Things I Thought Were True. Yes, there were 17 things, not 16. Each of there were numbered, so I wonder why the title wasn’t changed or if it was too late to change the title, why the hashtag #thingsithoughtweretrue wasn’t capped at 16 times. The 17th occurrence could have used a different hashtag—one that could’ve ended this book with a bang.

THERE WILL COME A TIME by Carrie Arcos

July 2, 2014

THERE WILL COME A TIME by Carrie ArcosThere Will Come a Time was such a great book for me. I know it’s supposed to be a very sad book as it deals with the the loss of a twin in a car crash. For what it’s worth though, I enjoyed There Will Come a Time very much. It was so moving due to the emotions that were palpable throughout the book.

THE TREATMENT (The Program #2) by Suzanne Young

June 28, 2014

THE TREATMENT (The Program #2) by Suzanne YoungI can hardly describe the overwhelming disappointment that The Treatment brought me. I know I wasn’t a fan of The Program but I did like it for the concept. Still, I had problems with it because of the many unanswered questions The Program left me with. I pegged them as cliffhangers, so I expected The Treatment answer them, particularly the ones about the suicide epidemic that wrought this society. Did I get those answers? Hardly. The big issues were glossed over so much, I was mad at the end of the book. To me, The Treatment hardly contributed to the duology. It would’ve been better left unread.
