  • Who is Frances Rain? by Margaret Buffie

    I loved this book so much that I read it twice in Grade Six and then stole it from my teacher at the end of the year. (Sorry Mrs. Watt.)

  • The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

    I very rarely cry. This book made me heave with sobs. On an airplane. In public. It’s that good. Movie: did not make me cry in public. That’s all I will say.

  • Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess)

    I laughed so hard I cried. On nearly every page. And then I told a bunch of people how much I loved it, which lead my friend Rosie to purchase me a Bloggess calendar for my birthday, which. was. awesome.

  • The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman

    My personal affection for Mr. LaBeouf aside, I believe this may be the performance of his, and Evan Rachel Wood’s, career. It’s the grittiest love story I’ve ever seen. Aaaaand Ron’s in it. So there’s that.

  • Drink Play F@#k by Andrew Gottlieb

    Momentarily entertaining. Funny and occasionally inspirational in tone, but certainly not engrossing.
