The Liar Society by Lisa Roecker and Laura Roecker

Review: The Liar Society by Lisa Roecker

By Jen On May 14, 2011 · Add Comment · In Book Review
Well, I got way more than what I expected from a cover with a pink haired girl! The Liar Society is a fun mystery that will keep you guessing. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Kate’s quirky sidekick Seth (the conspiracy theorist) and edgy Liam. Pemberly Brown, the private school setting, is a character in [...]

Review: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

By Jen On May 12, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Book Review
Love love LOVED it. I read this in less than 24 hours… I just didn’t want to stop reading, and I was sad when it ended. Every character is well written – flawed and realistic. I felt like I knew them, that Anna’s friends were my friends. Ugh, and St. Clair is completely swoon-worthy and [...]

The Immortal Life of Herietta Lacks - A Book and a Latte

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

By Jen On May 11, 2011 · Add Comment · In Book Review
Fascinating and thought-provoking! Wow, I think this should be required reading. I’m not usually a fan of non-fiction (mainly because I use reading as an escape)… but this is just a phenomenal book. Rebecca Skloot did a wonderful job of explaining the medical advances made possible by using the cells of Henrietta Lacks, while telling [...]

Hex Hall | A Book and a Latte

Review: Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

What a fun, enjoyable read! I was a little weary of this book at first because I had read such good things about it, but at the same time I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get into a paranormal-fantasy galore book… and I was still reeling from the fae world in The Iron King. [...]

Mini Review: The Host by Stephenie Meyer

By Jen On May 11, 2011 · Add Comment · In Book Review
I have to agree with other reviewers when they say this is Stephenie Meyer‘s real masterpiece. The Host is nothing like the Twilight Series (which I loved) and is better written, so people that didn’t like Twilight may really like The Host. I’ll be honest and say that the first 1/4 of the book bored [...]

Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Oh my. I just finished this book and now I want to go out and buy the second one. Now. I don’t think I can wait till it comes in at the library. I couldn’t put it down, and stayed up into the wee morning hours reading the past 2 nights. I was appalled at [...]

Water for Elephants - A Book and a Latte

Review: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

By Jen On May 11, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Book Review
I have to admit that I wasn’t initially excited to read this book. I kept hearing great things about it, but I just had no interest in reading about a circus. Then I saw the movie preview… and knew I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie (I’m rarely able to finish a [...]
