Book of the Month Giveaway:
March's Book of the Month is Rainbow Rowell's absolutely beautiful Eleanor & Park. As you can tell, it earned one of my very rare five star ratings, because, on finishing and writing up my review, I could come up with not a single point of criticism, not even a minor one. I am so excited to see YA novels branching out like this. Oh, also, the hipster part of me wants everyone to know that I reviewed it before it received the John Green seal of approval. Just saying.

This is me bowing to the amount of books you've read. I don't think I've even read 30 books yet this YEAR. LOL. Go you!
ReplyDelete*does a sexy shimmy of victory*
DeleteWow!! That's a lot of books!! You are flying through books. I wish I read faster lol!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read faster too. X_X
Delete30?? Wow. You're my hero. I need to read faster.
ReplyDeleteAww.. you read the Cats of Tanglewood Forest too. I thought that was super cute. 5 stars for Eleanor & Park though is awesome, I've been hearing tons of great things about this one. :)
The Cats of Tanglewood Forest was delightful. Those illustrations were amazing. *sighs*
DeleteEleanor & Park is amazing. Obviously.
You a reviewing ninja Christina, you are just a ninja of all sorts I guess haha. I really want to get my hands on Eleanor & Park, I think I will really liked that one!
ReplyDeleteYes. *puts on ninja costume and continues the sexy shimmy*
DeleteOnly one 1-star book? That's a good month! You seemed to like a lot of the books you read in March. Hooray!! :D
ReplyDeleteI don't give out the really low ratings very often. 2 star means it's just not for me, but I think others will like it. 1.5 is getting skeptical. 1 is where I'm pretty much telling people not to read the book. .5 is BURN IT NOW. lol.
Delete30 books in March alone?! I doubt if I've read 30 books this year! I'm happy if I get 1-2 a week lol
ReplyDeleteAlso, great to see so many positive reviews! Though I'm disappointed by all the negative reviews I'm seeing for Unremembered; I had had high hopes for that one :(
Well, technically, I didn't read all of these in March. They're the reviews I posted in March.
DeleteUnremembered I mostly felt bad for. It's just not good. It tries, but...no.
I have seen a lot of book bloggers review this book and raved about it. My curiosity is peaked!
ReplyDeleteE&P is amazing!
