Book Review: Frozen

I should have listened to Queen Elsa’s Let It Go when I was reading this dreadful book because as I went deeper, the story just got crazier (in the most negative way possible). I should have let it go when I was still at 30% because it was the most terrible book I’ve read after Journey to Rainbow Island. The only redeeming quality that Frozen has is that it was so ridiculous I could not stop myself from laughing every time I turn a page.

Book Review: Under The Never Sky

The first quarter of 2012 saw me reading Under the Never Sky, a debut post-apocalyptic novel written by by Veronica Rossi, a new author for Y/A novels. I first saw the book in our local bookstore and was not interested in buying it since I have other book priorities to purchase during that day. A week later, when boredom got the best of me, I returned to the bookstore and picked up the book to read the summary. It was interesting but again, my OCness in selecting books kicked up so toning down my impulsiveness, I went home. The next…
