Five YA Pet Peeves Part 4


I'd actually like to see more love triangles like this in mainstream YA.



Enough said.

Discuss.

ETA: There's also this. And this.

Follow Me Friday



New(ish) blogger here. I lurk, but generally don't participate (a lot). (I promise to stop with the parentheses.)


Q: What is the best book you've read in the last month? What is the worst book you've read in the last month?.



The best would have to be (I'm cheating here) The Hound of Baskervilles. It was in preparation for my late, late marathon of Sherlock, and I'm sure I didn't have to ... but I've reread Holmes for less.

Taking a page out of Alison Can Read, I'd have to say the biggest disappointment for me was Double Cross. I think I went in with expectations way too high, but I can't stop remembering the awesomeness that was Mind Games. It might just be that I'm not that much of a romantic, since the relationship seemed to take over the plot. Oh, well. I know I won't be able to resist picking up the next in the series. Expectations be darned!

A Christening

I'd like to christen this new blog with a great big gush about a old show I recently discovered. But first!


With blogging so extensive these days, I think I'll be posting up my reviews as well. Reviews will come in every Tuesday and Thursday with random blogging fun on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.


I look forward to this adventure already!
