Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just finished reading and still a little overwhelmed… I actually shed a few tears while on the last few pages, while reading them on a treadmill at the public gym *a little embarrassed* The story in Hunger Games Trilogy is extremely intense, intelligent and unpredictable.

I’m a self-proclaimed paper whore… I collect paper scraps for “potential” future use, hoard stacks and stacks of discarded board, tissue and paper from work. Plus, being a graphic designer, I can get my hands on lots of lovely paper samples… And if I see some of them being thrown away, my little paper-loving heart [...]

I’m still missing my vacation Weekend Project for a simple and stupid reason that I can’t get the photos off of my daughter’s digital camera. No cord, no pictures, no pictures – no project.

April and Oliver by Tess Callahan My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read the entire book on vacation. It’s a little depressing, a little exciting, frustrating… a lot. But it’s one of those books that just holds on to you and keeps you reading it till the very end. Which in this case was not [...]

Ok, you’ll have to imagine this. I’m sitting at work, in a tanktop and flip flops. It’s quite hot and humid, and there’s water dripping from the skylight. LOUD, rhythmic dripping. Chinese water torture is nervously biting nails in the corner… I am also bored to death and dying to go back to reading my [...]

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wonderful story! At first I was a little worried that it’s gonna be yet another “summer/winter” forbidden romance (which it is, but also so much more!). Great idea with the Iron Fey and all their technological advances! Lots of cool imaginative imagery and [...]

Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr My rating: 4 of 5 stars I keep going back and forth with these books. I absolutely loved the first one. Then was slightly disappointed on the second one, because it didn’t continue the story from the first and instead dove straight into another although related, but with totally different [...]
