A Glass Castle is a Perfect Metaphor

May 25, 2016 by Melina 2 Comments

I typically write my reviews in a timely fashion. In fact, I typically have a rule that I can’t start my next book until I write my review. It keeps me honest, up to date and together (because I always want to start the next book).  Well, rules went out the window after reading this book.  I have no idea what it is about it, but I was altered by The Glass Castle.  I didn’t want to write about it, I didn’t want to stop thinking about […]

Dolph Kids 4 life

April 21, 2016 by Melina 6 Comments

  The caption to this picture is pretty much how I felt after reading this book.  After enduring the 2nd book I somehow talked myself immediately into reading the third one.  I was hooked…not because it was good mind you, but because Love, Lattes and Angel promised me voodoo priestesses, reincarnation and the Bermuda Triangle (and delivered on all three I think).  Let me make one thing very clear before I tell you EVERYTHING about this book.  It is pure garbage.  Many times I caught […]

Let me tell you what? I loved it too!  Something has […]

Test Tube Mutant Baby

March 11, 2016 by Melina 12 Comments

  Remember when I told you that for some reason I was mildly enamored with this strange little book? She Has a Blow Hole! So then I decided that I would read the second book because I was majorly hooked! (Remind me never to smoke crack because clearly I have zero impulse control). Book two can be summed up in one word: UGGGH. Love, Lattes and Danger offered up very little love, ZERO lattes, and actually so much danger that it was annoying.  This book […]
