Greatest Hits by Spice Girls
If you wannabe my lover, you have to admit you like the Spice Girls.
by tjhassecrets
Pros: All that positive energy on a singles collection.
Cons: With only three albums under their belt, this seems a little odd.

Lauren Conrad - L.A. Candy
"It Sounds Like an Adult Video...or a Bad Board Game"
by fishifishi
Pros: It's not as mind-numbing as the show that it's (sort of) based on
Cons: It's predictable and silly
Okay, so I admit I watched two seasons each of Laguna Beach and The Hills, on MTV, the music-less station that has become the home of the most ridiculous reality shows, featuring the extremely spoiled, good looking, and sickening people I ...

by cdm72
Pros: At least TRIES to be original.
Cons: Fails miserably in all other areas.
Good old Todd Sheets.  You want to know what my favorite thing about Todd Sheets is?  That his most recent movie credit is from 2000.  That’s almost a full decade of quiet.  Then again, I’m pretty sure if I say his name ...

Darren Shan - The Vampire Prince
Cirque Du Freak #6: Darren goes primal
by ssjakira1
Pros: Darren gets awesome and more plot advancement!
Cons: The end part felt a little contrived.
Welcome to Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series.  Located in the teen section of the bookstore, it's probably best left for them to read.  Still, if you're interested in a bit of teen horror, it's not a bad series to check ...

David Benedictus - Return to the Hundred Acre Wood

by JediKermit
Pros: Wonderful new stories, one new character, charming illustrations...
Cons: None.
When I first heard about David Benedictus' 2009 collection of short stories Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, I was skeptical.  I've come to terms with the Disney machine that has turned A.A. Milne's beloved creation into a "brand" that has ...
