It`s a serious thing I`ve started exercising again, because with all of this author cheerleading I`m doing, I need to get in shape. I am totally fangirling here. Ever read a book by an author and think, "Where have you been all my life?!" It started with an innocent Goodreads giveaway (Tighter review) and, well, I may make a few more Adele Griffin books making their way through inter-library loan as I write this review.

Persnickety Snark: Mini Review - Forget You Jennifer Echols
Mini Review - Forget You / Jennifer Echols
WHY CAN`T YOU Choose WHAT YOU FORGET . . . AND WHAT YOU Think? There`s a lot Zoey would wish to forget. Like how her mother has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey`s fear that the whole town will get out about her mom`s nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school.

Mini Review - Clockwork Angel / Cassandra Clare
Magic is dangerous-but passion is more grievous still. When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the sea to see her brother, her address is England, the sentence is the rule of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is wait for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets.

Persnickety Snark: Review - The Everlasting Ones Kirsten Miller
Review - The Everlasting Ones / Kirsten Miller
Haven Moore can't see her visions of a past with a boy called Ethan, and a living in New York that terminated in fiery tragedy. In our present, she designs beautiful dresses for her classmates with her best friend Beau. Dressmaking keeps her sane, since she lives with her widowed and heartbroken mother in her tyrannical grandmother's home in Snope City, a tiny town in Tennessee.
