ARC Review: Somebody Up There Hates You by Hollis Seamon
Chemo, radiation, a zillion surgeries, watching my mom age twenty years in twenty months: if that’s part of the Big Dude’s plan, then it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Somebody Up There Hates You. SUTHY has landed me here in this hospice, where we—that’s me and Sylvie—are the only people under 30 in the whole place, sweartogod. But I’m...
Summer Book Haul
I start school next Monday (and I move in tomorrow, which is an equally terrifying thought!), which means that my summer vacation is over.

Rereading Scares Me
I have a confession to make: I’m afraid to reread books. That’s not to say that I never do it; I used to reread books all the time. Sometimes it was by accident, and I wouldn’t realize until partway through the book that I had already read it once before. Most often, though, it was intentional. If a...
Book Review: Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz
“I Know Your Secret . . .” Nightmares. Dark Secrets. Premonitions of Death. Welcome to Stacey’s World! It begins with the dreams. White lilies, the death flower. Being chased through the woods, knowing she cannot outrun her pursuer forever. Visits from the spirit of a girl who was murdered. Threats and taunts from an unseen assailant. But that’s...
