OUT OF THE EASY by Ruta Sepetys

February 24, 2014

Historical Fiction is not usually my preferred genre. Unless the history that is involved is from two centuries ago or so, then I’m more likely to reconsider picking up such a book. Recent history though is not one of my preferences when it comes to fiction. Maybe I’m still hung on choosing to study History…

THE THING ABOUT THE TRUTH by Lauren Barnholdt

February 22, 2014

The Thing About the Truth is one of those books that swing back and forth between the present and the past. Had I read it as an absurd text, I might have had greater appreciation for it but I doubt that was anywhere near Barnholdt’s intention. Stuck in the present, we glimpse Kelsey and Isaac…

SOMETIMES NEVER, SOMETIMES ALWAYS by Elissa Janine Hoole

February 11, 2014

I’m not so sure what to say about Sometimes Never, Sometimes Always. It certainly is interesting and I think the subject matters are very relevant in this day and age. Religion and technology were both integrated to form the backdrop to Cass’s story. Cass struggles with living in a family where she is the only…

PIROUETTE by Robyn Bavati

February 8, 2014

Once in a while I pick up a book solely because of the author. I’ve read a book by that author before, loved it and decided to just go ahead and read whatever comes next. That’s how it went for Pirouette. Besides knowing that this book revolves around dance (I mean, duh, the title and…
