I'm a culture junkie who works at a bookstore. Pop, high-brow, junk -- it's all good. I try and consume it all. I read tons, especially young adult fiction. I also love quirky, offbeat novels; cultural analysis; mythology; girly fiction; fantasy; screwball romantic comedies; books with extremely flawed characters, yet somehow you really empathize with them; nonlinear narratives and language play.

Poison Princess (Arcana Chronicles, Book 1)

Poison Princess - Kresley Cole More like a 4.5, but there moments where Evie annoyed me a bit too much and there were character traits of Jackson's that were harder to swallow to make it a 5.Interesting take on the post-apocalyptic/zombie series. Look forward to more from this series.
