If all the humans disappeared tomorrow, what would the consequences of our existence be? Frightening and amazing.
Smart and original. This isn't the type of book I normally pick up, but I read glowing reviews of it on a few sites and decided to check it out. It's a mystery/adventure/sci-fi story all wrapped up into one and I very highly recommended it.
I read this because I possibly will be choosing it for a YA book club next year. I thought the end was a little flat in that some things weren't explained quite as much as I would have liked, but it was very well written.
Junior fiction, quick read. A great story of a Parisian orphan living in a train station during the 1930s.
I take for granted that I'm a female geek. Growing up, my parents always made it very clear that it was important to be myself, and I took that to heart from a very early age. As an adult, I found myself a partner who is an even bigger geek than I am (which I love, especially because my geekyness has increased from all the things I've learned from him), and have thrown myself into a career where I'm among similar geeks who are mostly female. Reading about other women geeks and the things they're interested in was wonderful.
I'm not telling how I got this early, but I was able to get my copy at around 11 this morning. I finished around 8 p.m., and the only thing I'll say is that I loved it. There's no way I would spoil it for anyone.
I usually run away screaming from chick lit, but this sounded cute so I decided to give it a try. Parts of it were ok, but the characters were pretty meh, and the book constantly committed one of my mortal sins of fiction writing: constant pop culture name dropping.
Fucking weird. Maybe I have no literary taste, since I know a lot of people are crazy about her, but I really only kept reading because each story was more redic than the next.
Oh hey, depressing story. Good, sadly beautiful, and real.
Book 7 cannot come soon enough! Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban are my favorites. Half-Blood Prince gets demerits because the title isn't the greatest. But that's probably the only bad thing I could say about it.
P.S. - Snape is NOT evil.
