Books We've Read
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Diane's & Jan's Pick
~Ann
~Jan
~Ann
~Jan
Read Ender's Game or The Giver instead. Nothing much is new here, and the themes are incoherent. ~Diane
The Fault in our Stars by John Green
Diane's Pick
Over-hyped, predictable, but perfectly acceptable. ~Ann
The book that made me realize A Walk to Remember is utter crap. ~Jan
Hazel is Holden Caulfield meets Anne Frank (and maybe my spirit animal). ~Diane
Nightwood by Djuna Barnes
Jan's Pick
Never quite hits the spot. Any spot. ~Ann
All the profound one-liners you could want, none of the plot. ~Jan
Not very sexy...not much of a story either. ~Diane
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Ann's Pick
Once upon a time, it was the end of times... ~Jan
The way we all want everything to end. ~Diane
Or, the way we all want everything NOT to end. ~Ann
On Such a Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee
Diane's Pick
A post-apocalyptic, dystopian future that is disturbingly similar to right now. ~Jan
So powerful, hopeful, and elegiac. Everyone read this. ~Diane
Before the Blog
Graveminder by Melissa Marr
Jan's Pick
The bookseller had to lead me into the paranormal romance section for this...the literary walk of shame. ~Ann
A world where Death wants to bone you. ~Jan
A town where keeping the dead dead revolves around a fickle romance. Yikes. ~Diane
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
Ann's Pick
Where a narrator you like pokes fun at characters you don't. ~Jan
Masterful writing about lackluster main characters. ~Diane
Duplex by Kathryn Davis
Diane's Pick
So, apparently "erotic menace" is my jam. Who knew? ~Ann
Rather interesting writing style. Terribly boring characters. ~Jan
Mystical sci-fi romance that sounds like poetry. Win. ~Diane
The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton
Jan's Pick
You probably should have kept your moral out of my story. ~Ann
I think I liked it better when everyone was an Anarchist. ~Jan
Dueling philosophies that abstract into an odd Christian alegory. Meh. ~Diane
Fables Vol. 1 by Bill Willingham
Ann's Pick
Cover: "James Jean!!" Content: "...not James Jean." ~Ann
Answers the age old question: What do Beauty's nipples look like? ~Jan
Cool concept, but marred by misogyny and a weak plot. ~Diane
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
Diane's Pick
Technically impressive; lacks spark. Basically, it's a robot. ~Ann
Sci-fi cornerstone! A few stories are repetitive, but most are magnificent. ~Diane
Lightning by Dean Koontz
Jan's Pick
*cough*hack*cough* ~Ann
Poorly written, but with a suspenseful, fast-paced plot and a creative twist! ~Diane
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Ann's Pick
Like a 63-year-old Coke. All the anticipation, none of the satisfaction. ~Ann
Apparently the only thing I hate more than misogynists are beatniks. Who knew? ~Jan
Disappointment. Disappointment everywhere. A few transcendental moments. ~Diane
Emma by Jane Austen
Jan's Pick
Emma Woodhouse is my spirit animal. ~Ann
I think I might have broken Ann's heart when I said I hated Emma... ~Jan
Perfectly plotted with a charming romance. Second only to P&P. ~Diane
