Divergent by Veronica Roth
Plot Summary My Review I have a quick and easy way of figuring out if a book is great. It’s not by analyzing the story or the characters or the pacing or the writing style. If I sit there and read and randomly burst into […]
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
You have no idea how much it pains me to write this review. This is the book I was looking forward to. The one that made me squeal like an excited 6 year old when it arrived in the mail. People raved about it (it […]
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
