The Superficial: Observations on the packaging of the book, such as cover art, page style, typography, size, and title. Less important, but c’mon, you know you think about it.

The Short of It: My review in a nutshell. Usually one sentence long.

The Long of It: Like the Short of It…only longer.   I.E. my full review.

Opening Lines: The biggest factor in any bookstore drive-by–the first few sentences.

Score: On a scale of one to ten. I will also address re-readability and buying suggestions (e.g. Buy Hardback, Library It, Wait for Paperback, Run for Your Life).

Picture most accurately depicting my excitement level. Shit yeah, confetti cannon!

I will be reviewing the latest in YA new releases (and some books you might have missed) in a short-but-sweet format.  Books will be graded on a scale of 1 to 10.

Besides recent reviews, there will be plenty of other shenanigans to keep you busy, ranging from Things I Thought Were Awesome When I Was a Young Pigeon to Things I Should Hate But Don’t. Also, Things with Less Annoying and Lengthy Titles.

And, you know, other awesome stuff.

So, pull up a chair and get your marshmallows ready, cause we gonna set some books on fire.

Easy there, Thelma Sue. That's not what I meant.
