This book has a strange effect on you, even though I didn't love it, I can't stop thinking about it - every day. 3/5

2. The Terror Behind The Mask - P.J. Night
This new Creepover is fantastic, though I don't know if it beats my favourite Creepover - Read It And Weep. 4/5

That last cliffhanger ... literally - :o 5/5

4. Miss. Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs
Last time I loved a fictional/fantasy type book this much was during The Percy Jackson Era. 5/5

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

Meeting Penguin Teen On Tour!

Hello Everyone, It's been awhile since we last posted, it just so happened that we got super caught up with life and took an unplanned vacation from blogging. However, today's post is sort of like an update on what bookish activities we've been up to.  Not that long ago, the TwoGirlsThatRead Team went to our local bookstore eagerly anticipating a rare significance: an author event! A lot of the time decent author events either never happen or are just a long drive away. However, that was not the case with this one and we were able to meet Penguin Teen On Tour! That's a wondrous picture of the posters they handed out and my (Ashvini's) shelf-in-progress! Anyways, Penguin Teen is a very famous publisher of many New York Times Bestselling books including "An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir (more on that to come). Recently, they announced tour dates where a few of their authors would come in, answer questions, and do some book si...
