Reveiw: Envy

Reveiw: Envy

Posted July 14, 2011 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

Truthfully, this book pissed me off.  I’ve never been “and they lived happily ever after” reader, in fact, I prefer they don’t as it can sometimes be too cutesy.  In Envy, evil triumphs over good and it annoyed me that the two main characters I love to hate, Penelope and Carolina somehow always manage to […]

Diana is looked upon as the poor younger sister to the deceased Elizabeth Holland and has tossed in her lap […]

Posted July 8, 2011 by Whitney in books / 3 Comments

Before I begin, I should start by explaining my aunt’s love for David Cassidy as a teen.  She would buy every teen beat and had a “David Cassidy Scrapbook” which she would look at every night before going to bed.  But this was in the 1970s, the era of Frank Zappa and would never admit […]
