From GoodReads: Love can be a dangerous thing....
Hanna simply wants to be loved. With a head plagued by hallucinations, a medicine cabinet full of pills, and a closet stuffed with frilly, violet dresses, Hanna's tired of being the outcast, the weird girl, the freak. So she runs away to Portero, Texas in search of a new home.
But Portero is a stranger town than Hanna expects. As she tries to make a place for herself, she discovers dark secrets that would terrify any normal soul. Good thing for Hanna, she's far from normal. As this crazy girl meets an even crazier town, only two things are certain: Anything can happen and no one is safe.
Oh My Damn! I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book!!! I devoured it without even realizing it! I started it at 9p.m. last night in the bathtub and was a total prune at 11p.m. when I finally put it down. The story was AMAZING, the concept and characters was BRILLIANT, and I was shocked, appalled, amazed, breathless, and completely speachless when I finished it. I love how Hanna never ceased to make me laugh while also scaring the crap out of me at the same time. I give a thunderous standing ovation to Dia Reeves for her ability to make me see "the other side of crazy".
Welcome To My Blog
Welcome to my blog! I invite you to enter into the splendiferous world of the library where I will share my knowledge and love of books I have read, as well as send out praise to the authors of these treasures. Most of the books reviewed on my site will be Teen or YA Sci-Fi/Fantasy, though every now and then I'll throw in an adult book just to shake things up.

In My Mailbox
So this week's In My Mailbox is brought to you buy The Fort Dodge Public Library! lol As you know, I am a librarian at two libraries. Unfortunately, both libraries are small town libraries with EXTREMELY limited budgets. So to "try before I buy" books for these libraries, I go to a nearby bigger city and get new releases from their library. The Fort Dodge Public Library has been lucky enough to have several foundations that fundraise and purchase books for them, giving them an OVERWHELMING book collection. This week in particular, I SCORED, getting not one, not two, but ELEVEN newly released books from my TBR list! By the time I post this weeks WoW on Sunday, some may have already been read and reviewed, but I am going to list them here anyway!
So needless to say, this week will be spent with a book in my hands every spare moment I get!!
