Now that we’re 10 days into 2010, I’ve finally finished up with all of my 2009 reviews. It’s a good feeling, but I’m also behind in my 2010 reviews. Yes, already. And before you start thinking I’m a reading machine, let … Continue reading
The other night on Twitter, a bunch of us were being silly (what else is new), debating the attractiveness of Peeta and Gale from The Hunger Games. Chris from book-a-rama admitted she hadn’t yet read the books, but she was willing … Continue reading
