July Book Reviews

(click titles for full review)
Hush, Hush; Becca Fitzpatrick
I’ll read anything having to do with angels. They’re kind of my thing. What I wasn’t expecting is this basically being the same story as our favorite vampire story, except, well, he’s an angel. And if you know anything about me and how I feel about Twilight, [...]

Bush Reunion

For anyone who knew me in the early 90’s, you knew I planned to marry Gavin Rossdale. This wasn’t completely unreasonable, I believed. I, too, was a musician, and smarter than my peers, and who cares if I was only 12 years old and one of millions of girls with the same dream? I was [...]

Example: Chuck. Quite [...]

GBA Surgery

A couple months back, when I placed an order for my DS flash card, I couldn’t resist checking out what other goodies the site had (I was paying for shipping anyway, after all). And then I discovered… GBA shells. I bought my GBA used, so it was pretty beat up.

So what was another $5 to [...]
