review - pitch perfect (possible spoilers)
The second I saw the trailer for this movie, with Anna Kendrick bursting into Blackstreet’s “No Diggity,” I knew I needed to see it. If I could express to you how often my roommate and I listen to “No Diggity” on car trips, then you might be able to begin to understand why we felt like this movie was plucked straight from our brains. Pitch Perfect is what Glee wishes it could be, or wishes it...

Scarlett Hyacinth - The Lamb Who Cried Wolf...
Lunch or lover? That is the question that appears in werewolf Brody’s mind when he meets lamb shifter Carson. The answer is easy. Simply looking into Carson’s innocent blue eyes tells him that the lamb is his mate. If he’s going to eat Carson up, they’ll both enjoy it. Carson has been isolated by his flock due to his inability to grow into a strong ram. When he is unexpectedly attacked by his...

Cicely vonZiegesar - Cum Laude
After tearing through the Hunger Games series, I wanted to read something a little less high-strung and decided to dive into Cum Laude, Gossip Girl creator Cicely vonZiegesar’s one-off book about college. Here is the disclaimer! I was a total Gossip Girl addict. Those books were like crack to me, much like the Sweet Valley High and University books were to me from elementary through high...

Suzanne Collins - Mockingjay
I enjoyed this book, but man, did it make me mad.
I threw a book once. I had never read a Jodi Picoult book before and haven’t since, but I threw My Sister’s Keeper across the room and threatened to drop it off a balcony. I didn’t, though. I wanted someone else to read it and share in my rage, because I guess I’m awful. That’s only a fraction of what I felt after finishing Mockingjay, but I did...

Suzanne Collins - The Hunger Games
What is it possible to say about The Hunger Games that hasn’t already been said? Everyone knows the gist of what it’s about, so I’m not going to get into that, I’m just going to tell you why you should read it. [[MORE]]
From the beginning, it’s a fast-paced, exciting read. A lot of the exposition is interspersed with the action, which keeps it moving quickly. So even...

Nicole Baart - After the Leaves Fall
There is a nasty betrayal a reader feels when discovering that a work they once enjoyed is not fact but fiction. Reading “After the Leaves Fall,” I was afflicted with such a feeling and that was my own fault. Whether I read a misleading blurb somewhere or I confused a description for this book with that of another, I can’t say. I can only remember that I thought I would be reading a heartbreaking...
