Latest Review

Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl #1
Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of privileged teens living in New York City’s Upper East Side. The vast majority of GG’s protagonists are spiteful and superficial: they are as deep as the ink on paper after a girl signs her name with a Montblanc fountain pen.

28 Books

It’s a challenge: can I read 28 books in 2008? I surely hope so. As a child, I could devour 12 novels in less than 2 weeks. What’s become of me if I can’t finish 28 in one year? If you’re interested in learning more about this challenge or if you’d like to join click here.

  1. Gossip Girl #1 by Cecily Von Ziegesar
    Interesting, but slightly retarded due to deep-as-puddle characters and constant product placement. »

  2. Logic Made Easy by Deborah J. Bennett
    Slightly dense but fun, Logic Made Easy encourages its readers to question their logic. »

  3. Anthem by Ayn Rand
    This book is over-the-top and obvious, but it isn’t bad. It’s just weird and a little crazy.

  4. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
    Loved it! I expected this to be boring and not-so-great, but it is fun and full of suspense!

  5. Writing to Change the World by Mary Pipher
    Not quite inspiring. It has a nice title, and a few helpful chapters. But it’s mostly dull. »

I want to read Gossip Girl and Anthem (such different genres, wow). Oh and Sense and Sensibility too, the movie was awesome.

Happy reading =D
