THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT by Jennifer E. Smith

March 10, 2014

Alright, this is going to be one of my shortest reviews, I think. Even though there weren’t very many surprises left in the book with the blurb that has been included with the book, I can’t deny the cuteness factor of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. In fact, this is one of…

THE PARADOX OF VERTICAL FLIGHT by Emil Ostrovski

February 26, 2014

There is something terrifying yet absolutely comforting about coming across a character that seems to be of equal mind to mine.

GOLDEN by Jessi Kirby

January 22, 2014

GOLDEN by Jessi KirbyGolden left me a little torn. On one hand, I really enjoyed it but on the other, it left me feeling unmoved. The prose was beautiful. The introspectiveness of it pulled me right in when I opened the book and read the first few pages.

AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES by John Green

January 8, 2014

AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES by John GreenFor once I’m not entirely sure if my dislike for the book purely stems from the book itself or from the expectations that arose prior to reading the book because a very popular author wrote this. An Abundance of Katherines is the first full-length novel of John Green that I got my hands on. The first sentence had me totally hooked but no single sentence can sustain a whole book. No matter how good that sentence is. Despite my growing reservations, I decided to continue reading, even staying up till 3 a.m. one night just to complete it. Sleep would’ve been time better spent on my part.

SNOWED OVER by Angie Stanton

December 24, 2013

Book cover of SNOWED OVER by Angie StantonMaybe romance books just aren’t for me. Romance novellas even less so. Or I just haven’t found the kind that makes me go all soft inside. While I didn’t launch into eye rolls as I had feared, sadly, I didn’t really feel Snowed Over either.
