Unique "job" experiences: I spent a summer selling popcorn in a Koepsell's popcorn wagon while listening to awesome music on the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee. I also know my way around a fender and a quarter panel and under the hood of a car. I spent a few years driving to accident scenes, scrapyards, hospitals, auto repair shops as a claims adjuster for an insurance company.
Here's how I utilize Goodreads. I appreciate other people's opinions about books. Almost all the novels I read come from authors/bl...more


DEATH. It's inevitable. And even though DEATH isn't the biggest fear for MG/YA, (alienation from peers is number one according to a child psychologist friend who conducted a study on the topic) it is still a topic YA think about.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Hardly much. I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FREAKIN' LOVED THIS NOVEL! I soooo adore Tris and Tobias. They have definitely surged to the top of my two or three all-time favorite couples in a YA novel. (Mia and A...more

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS: READ WITH CAUTION

The Story of Us is a beautifully written novel that left me feeling so sad because I'm the kind of person who roots for "true love" and the love that Cricket and Janssen has (or had) seems to be that ki...more

Am Burstein wrote a very realistic portrayal of what some young adults with low self-esteem are willing to do to belong. Amy is probably the saddest and one of the most pathetic characters I have read because of her incredible self-destructive behavi...more

A fantastic dystopian YA novel that left me wanting the sequel. Saba is a strong female character whom I admire deeply for her ability to stand up for those she loves. Moira Young brings a unique voice and a fast-paced read. The setting is brutal and...more

One of the best Nora Roberts novels I've read. Lots of intrigue, a well-woven tale of a sixteen-year-old girl who has to enter the Witness Protection Program and what happens to her. Loved it.
