Road Trip Wednesday: The Eternal Ones

By Rachel | Published: 2 June 2010

It’s the beginning of another month, which means YA Highway wants to know: What’s the best book you read in May? I actually only read a few books last month, so I don’t have as many to sift through as I did last time they asked this question. I read one book for YA book [...]

Road Trip Wednesday: Favorite April Book

By Rachel | Published: 28 April 2010

For this week’s Road Trip Wednesday, YA Highway asks: What’s the best book you’ve read this month? Okay, so I suppose now would be a good time to come clean. Confession is supposed to be good for the soul, right?? Well, here I go: I have a HUGE, monster-sized crush on Sarah Dessen. Phew. I [...]

Not Writing

By Rachel | Published: 22 March 2010

You might remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned I was starting a complete rewrite of Incubus. Now, if you glance to the sidebar (—–>), you will notice that the word-count ticker for Incubus is still completely empty. Hmmm. That does not match up. What happened is I came across a period of this [...]

Road Trip Wednesday: Limericks

By Rachel | Published: 17 March 2010

In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, YA Highway wants us to all write a limerick about our favorite books and/or works in progress. Holy commas! This one was hard. Apparently I have lost my touch since my stellar Freshman-Year-English-Class limerick. Of course, my determination to write one for both a WIP and my favorite book [...]

Run, don’t walk…

By Rachel | Published: 15 March 2010

…to the nearest bookstore to pick up The Dead-Tossed Waves. Okay. I started writing a different post, but I just can’t get Carrie Ryan’s world and words out of my head, so I scrapped that post in favor of this recommendation. It is no secret that I loved The Forest of Hands and Teeth, so [...]

2010 Reading

By Rachel | Published: 26 February 2010

I got to thinking today about how much I read. Some books take me a while to work my way through and others I finish in one reading. Either way, I go through a lot of books. In the past, I have tried to keep track of what I read, but I have never been [...]

Books vs. Movies

By Rachel | Published: 18 February 2010

Again with the spoilerage. If you haven’t read Harry Potter and don’t want me to ruin it, stop reading here. I mentioned to someone that I was planning Harry Potter Week, and they immediately said I needed to do a post about the books vs. the movies. But here’s the thing: I am really good [...]
