Twerp by Mark Goldblatt
Sometimes when you brace yourself for a storm, you get a gentle breeze. The storm only comes when you’re braced for nothing whatsoever I don’t usually review children’s books, but when I read the premise of Twerp I decided to break the rules. The story is told from the perspective of Julian Twerski, a twelve-year-old

Parallel by Lauren Miller
Parallel lives/universes seem to be an “it” thing in 2013 with at least 3 YA releases coming to mind and I for one am not the least bit disappointed because I LOVE the concept of alternative realities and fringe sciences.

Prophecy Girl by Cecily White
I was a bit apprehensive about reading this originally as I had read lots of negative reviews comparing this to both Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy and Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series. As I actually like both of these authors and the aforementioned books, I figured that chances are I would probably enjoy this one as well!

This review will be fairly short as 3 weeks of reading this book and only getting 36% of the way through on my third attempt at starting it, I decided to add this book to my DNF pile. I have never read any other Lili St Crow books so I’m not sure if it’s just

Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela Druckerman
When I tell her about the expression “MILF”, she thinks it’s hilarious. There’s no French-language equivalent.

The Sweetest Dark by Shana Abe
I loved the sound of this book from the synopsis, it was historical and it was also a fantasy book with dragons and beautiful gothic castles! While I did enjoy reading this book the entire time I just felt that something was missing, I wondered if this was a spin off of another book series
