This book was: A) like watching a late night TV parody of a book I have never read, where the audience is laughing their heads off, and I have the vague feeling that I should be laughing too, but I just. Don’t. Get. It. B) like being beat over the head again and again and again by a sign that says   posted Jul 17, 2011 at 2:15PM

hahahaha, this was totally MY kind of book. I think, at heart, I am a seclusive, slightly annoying, poison-obsessed eleven-year-old girl. Oh, yeah, and the book’s writing style was brilliant. That was nice too.   posted Apr 30, 2011 at 4:07PM

I’ve spend my entire life with an unhealthy fascination of fire. This book (or season, I suppose you could call it...) let me feel that I am not alone. There are other pyromaniacs in the world who (literally*) dream of being able to shoot fire from their fingertips. Not to mention look totally awesome while doing it. *I actually do dream (yes, as in asleep, unconscious, in my bed with my fluffy squishy pillow) of blasting fire and wreaking havoc. Should I be worried?   posted Apr 30, 2011 at 9:52AM

This is the best thing since Book I, Water came out. It may sound impossible, but this series only gets better. If there were a voting system, I would totally spam the page and vote from a zillion different computers to make sure that this won the best rated award. And let me tell you, there are few series that I would do that for.   posted Apr 30, 2011 at 9:45AM

Can I say this is the best thing since bread was sliced? Since someone put the pimento in the olive? Since riding lawnmowers were invented? Brilliance, I tell you. Sheer mind bending* (hahahahaha) brilliance. *A pun worthy of Sokka, I tell you. This series is rubbing off on me in the worst (scratch that - the BEST) possible way.   posted Apr 30, 2011 at 9:42AM

Absolutely stunning. It's amazing how perfectly it's wrapped up. A warning: this is the darkest book in the series. It's good, but it's adult/mature teen material. Definitely PG13.   posted Sep 16, 2010 at 2:32PM

The second book in the Mistborn trilogy. Just as good as the first. I would point out, though, that the series gets darker as it goes along, and it's in the adult section for a reason (nothing R rated or explicit, just... dark). I guess most of the darkest stuff is in the last book, but here's a warning at least.   posted Sep 16, 2010 at 2:31PM

You have NOT, and I mean NOT, read fantasy until you've read this series. Seriously. This is real, amazing, astounding fantasy and I totally recommend it.   posted Sep 16, 2010 at 2:29PM

A retelling of one of my favorite fairytales EVER - East of the sun and west of the moon. If you haven't read it, go look it up on Wikipedia or something, because it's awesome. And, a neat twist on the stereotypical fairytale, it's all about the maiden rescuing the prince. Just goes to prove - fairytales aren't anti-feminist.   posted Aug 24, 2010 at 10:03PM
