I’m on a roll! This time, a YA Book Review: “The Kingdom” by Jess Rothenberg — MuggleNet.com Book Trolley

Look at me, reviewing books again all bloggy-like! I'm a tad late re-sharing this post, but since this is one of those hot-bloggy-YA titles, I figured I would share it on here. It's worth noting that I wrote this review for a different site so I held back some snark that I'd normally use on…

“Mirror in the Sky” Review: or, what happens when you force something into YA

Mirror in the Sky by Aditi Khorana. Razorbill: 2016. I read a book! It's called Mirror in the Sky, and it was written by Aditi Khorana. (I couldn't figure out an intro to this post - could you tell??) I heard about his book from Kristina Horner, a YouTuber who does a lot of BookTube stuff. She read it…

Review: Welcome to Night Vale

Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. Harper Perennial: 2015. It's a book review? Whaaaat? Yes that's right, a book review! (And it's spoiler-free!) Pleasure reading has been slow going lately because I've been doing a lot of school reading that's beyond what's assigned (*nerd*), and the book I'm currently working on…

Review: Illuminae

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.  Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2015. Ok. So. Illuminae. Yeah. That happened. I finally read Illuminae. And I see why everyone is hyping it so much, because the hype is deserved, people. De-served. For those of you who don't know, Illuminae is a YA sci-fi (and romance) novel written in a series…

Review: This Shattered World

This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. Disney-Hyperion: 2014. OMG a review! As many of you know, the only reading I've been doing lately is for the Remembrall Readathon (Harry Potter books) and reading for my grad classes. However, there are some reviews that have been sitting unwritten in my drafts for a…

Review: These Broken Stars

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. Disney Hyperion, 2013. First of all, look at this cover. Just look at it. It's so shiny. I swear, every time I pick up or put down this book, I have to admire it. Wow. Ok, so I read this book because one of my favorite…

Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Broadway Books, 2012. Ready Player One is about a kid named Wade who competes in a video game contest. But it isn't just a video game contest. The OASIS, a virtual-reality-massive-online-video game has become more of a reality than real life for many people living in the year 2044. And…

Comic book review: Serenity (Those Left Behind)

Serenity, Vol. 1: Those Left Behind by Will Conrad (Author), Joss Whedon (Creator), Brett Matthews (Illustrator). Dark Horse Books, 2005. What? A comic book review? Cool! I don't read comics. They never appealed to me because I was never really into superheroes - obviously I know there are tons of comics out there that don't…

Ender’s Game

So here comes the first in a series of exciting movie releases this season, from YA novel adaptations, to more Disney-Hans Christian Andersen films, to a film about a film about a book, to more epics from Peter Jackson. First on my list is "Ender's Game." Just to not completely ignore the issue, I will…
