From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. New Adult: Pros and Cons. Hello everyone, it's the Intern! And I'm going to be discussing the pros and cons of the up and coming category "New Adult" named for people that are "new" to being "adults". For those of you who don't know, New Adult is written for people 18-25ish since they are no longer adolescents but you could argue that they are not exactly adults either. It's like the purgatory between Young Adult and normal Fiction. You may ...

Off The Shelf: Judging Books By Their Covers: Part 1
http://boulderbookstore.blogspot.com/2014/07/judging-books-by-their-covers-part-1.html
From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Judging Books By Their Covers: Part 1. You've probably been told at least once in your life "never judge a book by its cover" and you probably learned a great lesson in friendship. But what if you could. Judge a book by its cover? Possess the ability to guess the summary of a book just by looking at the cover? Or I could horrendously fail and we could all have a laugh. Nope Not really at all. I'll give myself 10% to be kind. Is a silkworm symbo...

Off The Shelf: Judging Books By Their Covers: Part 3
http://boulderbookstore.blogspot.com/2014/07/judging-books-by-their-covers-part-3.html
From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Judging Books By Their Covers: Part 3. I AM BACK WITH PART THREE! I'd like to start with the fact that the shiny star-things on the cover distracted me for longer than I'd like to admit. This cover gives me the impression the book is about an impeccably dressed lady during Victorian England, or early 1900s America. She has a cool hat on, which means she's dapper. The title The Fortune Hunter. I give myself a dismal 30%. The blurb quote on th...

From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Predict Casting: Paper Towns. Wow I haven't done one of these in a while! So, to welcome back this segment, I'm starting with Paper Towns. Due to the massive success of The Fault in Our Stars. It seems like Green's books will slowly take over Hollywood, starting with Paper Towns. It's already been confirmed that Nat Wolff, who played Isaac in TFIOS. Will be playing Quentin "Q" Jacobsen, but what about the others? TIME FOR ME TO GUESS. Lacey ...

From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Judging Books By Their Covers: School Books. Since it is nearing fall, which means I, like many others, am going back to school. As a final hoorah, I am going to judge school required reading from our class orders shelves. DISCLAIMER: Most of these are pretty unknown because I've read a lot of the known ones. Darn school *shakes fist angrily at the sky.*. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. The House on Mango Street. Sadness&...

From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Monday, August 12, 2013. Banning Books: Why it's Stupid. I was browsing my Pinterest. Which you should check out because I think I'm funny) when I saw a list of 25 banned books. One of them happened to be Alice in Wonderland,. Which was banned in China because the "animals are scary". Which brings me to my main problem with Banned books: you're stopping everyone from reading something just because a percentage (can be small, can be big) are too appalled by it. But if...

SPOILERS AHEAD YE BE WARNED*. Had notes, HU. Was L...

From the pages of Boulder Book Store. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Books versus Movies In General. NOTE: Since I've said in multiple blog posts on here that I actually do enjoy some movies more than the books, let me just explain this is because most of the time I read the books second. For those instances. But I will get to this. Say what you will about the series, it still did really well in both book sales and at the box office). And there are some pros to this! HOW DARE I SAY SUCH A THING? So, that's...
