Book

Pretty Dead (2009)

I'll admit the reason I picked up the book was because I loved the cover, still do. But inside wasn't what I expected. It talked a lot about fashion, some I liked, other times it just felt like a lot of words. I did love some of the imagery, it was beautiful. Charlotte talked of her brother in al...

Frenezia (2012)

What the... I don't get it. It is a standalone, but it doesn't make sense. Such an interesting plot but we just go nowhere. I coulnd't relate to Liv, it is incredible how much she pissed me off. I didn't get attached to any of the characters, I just didn't care. We get so little detailes about th...

The Frenzy (2010)

Oh gosh, where should I start? This was the worst book I have EVER read! I picked it up because the cover was eye catching and the summary sounded good. But The actual book inside was the worst my eyes have ever roamed upon. My Problems: *Narrated past WAY too much. extremely annoying *talked abo...

Pink Smog (2012)

I've been a longtime fan of this author and while I feel like it's not on the same level as her older writing, it's far better than the newer stuff (ie: Pretty Dead and The Frenzy). It's like that show The Carrie Diaries versus Sex and the City. This book was obviously wrote in a voice of a muc...

The Waters and the Wild (2009)

(2.5 stars)Wasn't absolutely captivating for me, though I believe the flow of poetic-like style could be honorable. I don't believe this is a genre I dabble in a whole lot, so that may be the reason for me zoning in and out as I read. I have to say that the end was very satisfying and the plot mo...

The Waters & the Wild (2009)

brilliant, dreamy prose and captivating characters. FLB manages to bring out a whole new side of los angeles in this story. a los angeles that is much darker and more desperate than Weetzie's LA. bee is a fascinating character. this story made me think about so many new things that i believe i wi...

Book

House of Dolls (2010)

Another dent in my books by Francesca Lia Block.This one is aimed at younger girls and it was actually very cute. It still managed to play into some of FLB's themes. There is a doll that is a fairy. There is a doll who hides who she really is. There are males: A G.I. Joe named guy and a stuff...

Roses and Bones: Myths, Tales, and Secrets (2010)

Roses and Bones: Myths, Tales, and Secrets is a compendium of three of Block's books. I had not read any of these previously, but I had read several other of her books years ago when I was in college, like the Weetzie Bat series. I remembered liking them at the time, and enjoying her writing st...

Psyche in a Dress (2006)

i’d heard a lot of great things about this book before i read it, so when i started reading and didn’t immediately see the draw i was kind of disappointed. it wasn’t bad by any means, but it wasn’t fantastic. as i got closer to the end, however, and the different aspects of the story started comi...

Book

Necklace of Kisses (2006)

Twenty years later…how many fairy tales have the nerve to return to their protagonists so many years after that first flush of magic, dreams and romance? Overall, this strikes me as the ideal book for Valentine’s Day, if you’re in a dreamy state of mind.Weetzie Bat and her Secret Agent Lover Man ...

Ruby (2006)

Several months ago, I made my sister go to a Friends of the Library booksale that I couldn't attend for whatever reason. She found a copy of Ruby and called me, asking if I wanted it. I did a quick scan of all the different reviews on Goodreads (because clearly, I can't make up my mind without ev...

IMPORTANT WARNING: If you have trigger issues, ESPECIALLY if they are severe, please see the starred portion of this review below, before you consider the Weetzie Bat books any further.

Violet & Claire (2000)

This is the book that started it all for me. A friend recommended I read it, and Francesca Lia Block made an immediate move to the top slot in my favorite authors list, where she's stayed ever since.Violet sees life as a movie. There's always a scene, a mood, something unfolding. Though her own l...

Witch Baby (1992)

Witch Baby was actually the first Francesca Lia Block book I read, and when I finally got my hands on a copy of the first in the 'Dangerous Angels' series 'Weetzie Bat'; I knew immediately that I had read the best of them first and was immensely glad of it.I was attracted to this writer's playful...

The story opens up with Dirk as a child playing with his toys, and telling his grandmother Fifi, that all the men were taking showers. And that’s when he knew that he liked boys romantically, much to his grandmothers’ worries. Then it moves on to tell how Dirk is a big fan of James Dean, likes wo...
