Never Read Books About Plagues When You’re Sick

January 11, 2016 by Melina Leave a Comment

Don’t expect me to keep up this reading pace, I’m going to drop back soon, for sure. I decided not to grade anything and just read in bed, on the couch or wherever my kids would let me be sick and “semi-participate” in life while coughing, sneezing, and snorting.  So this is book four in the Gone series and while I’m enjoying reading these books, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone if you’re having a bad go of things lately–you might smile for a second […]

He’s a keeper.) and I pretty much devoured it. Everything, Everything is a fairly easy read and really does go quick. A lot of that is thanks to it’s format, which includes e-mails, IMs, and […]

And Poof! They Were Gone

January 4, 2016 by Melina 2 Comments

Book Bub loves to sell dystopian fiction at a discount price and therefore, I read a lot of dystopian literature when I’m too lazy to go to the library and/or hack into my mom’s Kindle account (note: I’m not actually hacking, she gives me permission, but it feels cooler when I say the word hack).  This book caught my attention though because Stephen King mentioned this series on twitter several times (and not in a “the publishing company gave me money for this blurb kind […]
