Alright, I'm not a rules kinda gal. But I do, believe it or not, have some sort of policy on review request and offers. First off, my prefered genre's generally fall under every category but Romance and the real fluffy kind of Chick Lit (i.e. if the summary has the word 'sassy' or 'independent' anywhere in it, consider it blacklisted). Other then that, it's all far game. If it is a review copy, I will more then likely read and review it in a timely matter, though please keep in mind I'm a student and need to maintain some sort of social life (less people worry...). If you'd like to contact me, my email is:
I do check my email daily, so chances are I will get back to you sometime in the afternoon. I maintain right as a reviewer not to review a novel because a) I found it so disturbingly bad I think it best to save the author some face or b) I have fallen ill with some kind of Malarian disease and simply cannot move my wee little fingers.
Sara and her father are moving to Boston from small-town Lundun, Massachusetts. She is going to attend the very elite Anton High School-- crowned "North America's Most Elite and Most Bizarre" by Time magazine, harder to get into than Harvard. As the new girl, Sara doesn't know anyone--better yet, no one knows her. And that means she can escape her family's checkered past and her father can be a surgeon instead of "Crazy Charlie" the school janitor. What's the harm of a few little black lies? Especially if it transforms Sara into Anton's newest popular girl. But then one of the It girls at school starts looking into Sara's past, and her father's obsessive compulsive disorder takes a turn for the worse. Soon, the whole charade just might come crashing down...
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey.
But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life--and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent.
For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding.
When Lisa and her sister Susan celebrate Susan’s birthday by attending a Full Moon Party–a party thrown by a group of werewolf fanatics in a swamp near New Orleans–an unexpected tragedy occurs. Fearing repercussions, Lisa turns to black magic in order to cover up what happened to her sister. But keeping things under wraps isn’t as easy as Lisa thinks. Little does she know, her inner demons—and desires—will be the biggest obstacles in keeping her sister’s death a secret.
Lilly North needs answers. But will she believe the answers she finds – or will they put her on the same fateful path as her family?
Buck McGee needs sanctuary. The mysterious death of his father and the recurring appearance of a menacing demon have left him no other options.
Their lives become forever linked when Lilly discovers the journal documenting his harrowing escape.
Prepare yourself for a sweeping tale of adventure and suspense that will take you from the quiet farms of Iowa, down the murky waters of the Mississippi, and deep into the hidden cultures of the Caribbean.
Looks like you got some great books this past week! Symptoms of a Broken Heart sounds like it could be really interesting, so looking forward to your review! Enjoy!
1: Horrible. Revolting. My eyes are bleeding. Stop it. Now.
2: Bitch, please.
3: Few redeeming qualities, but they're there. No bleeding.
4: Pretty bad, but it's got something about it. Bleeding from paper cuts associated with lingering over pages wondering how something can be so cringe inducing.
5: Eh.
6: Very good.
7: Excellent. No bleeding.
8: Fantastic. Simply wonderful. I laughed, I cried. I did not bleed.
9: Sonuvabitch, so close to ten
10: Orgasmic. Bleeding from thrashing head over things as self-punishment for not discovering this item earlier in life. Everything pales in comparison.
