I like to pretend I'm an analytical, know-a-lot, freelance critic in both Goodreads and IMDB (which I'm not).

Cross Your Heart, Connie Pickles
Cross Your Heart, Connie Pickles - Sabine Durrant
Four years ago, I originally gave it 5 stars because I never considered the technicality of a book back then. This book was one of the first few that I've never finished. Ironically, I've loved this book so much that I've lost count on the times I've reread it.

Looking back, I realized that although it was light-hearted and cute, it was too dense. Also, I never liked the main character. She was your typical Mary Sue.

Fifteen Candles
Fifteen Candles - Veronica Chambers
I did not like this book at all. The characters were all too whiny, all too perfect, and everyone should get what they want. I know I've read this when I was around eleven/twelve and I wasn't even considering "flirtationships" in my life (back then, haha). Maybe that's another factor.

Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs
Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs - Tomie dePaola
I first read this book back in 2002 when I was still in Kumon and they had this little library so I was all like, yeah sure what the heck.

I think it's safe to say that one of the very first picture books I've read as a child was such a depressing story and it scarred me emotionally for life. Just thinking about this book makes me cry all over again.
