Selective Collective: A Little Something Different Discussion

August 29, 2014 by Sandie 2 Comments

Selective Collective: A Little Something Different Discussion

This month we are discussing the contemporary romance “A Little Something Different” by Sandy Hall, the first book published by Macmillan’s new crowd-sourced imprint, Swoon Reads. The book is a multiple perspective take on a meant-to-be romance that everyone else can see forming except for perhaps the super smitten but super shy couple themselves. Everyone…

Welcome to the launch of the YA Diversity Book Club, a monthly feature we created in partnership with three other book bloggers: Kristina aka Kiki at Gone Pecan, Lucy at The Reading Date, and Kristan at We Heart YA.

Selective Collective: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski Roundtable

Selective Collective: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski Roundtable

This month the Selective Collective book read “The Winner’s Curse” by Marie Rutkoski together. For me, it was an unputdownable novel with an original storyline and a unique central romance. Diana had a harder time getting into it at first, but eventually she got immersed in the sociopolitical drama. We asked our friends what they…

Selective Collective: ‘Ink’ Roundtable Discussion

June 26, 2013 by Sandie 5 Comments

Selective Collective: ‘Ink’ Roundtable Discussion

Our Selective Collective book for June is “Ink” by Amanda Sun. It’s one of the first times in a while we’ve read a fantasy series, and it was quite fascinating to explore Japanese mythology with an orphaned American teen as our guide. “Ink” offers not only romance (it is a Harlequin title, after all) but…

Selective Collective: ‘Going Vintage’ Roundtable

    Our first Selective Collective book for March is “Going Vintage” by Lindsey Leavitt. I hadn’t heard of her until Tee and Kiki recommended we make the book one of our picks, and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by what a sweet and endearing read it was, and it’s even a…
