Boyfriend Book Review: Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

Leave a comment

The Boyfriend Book Review is a recurring column here on What A Nerd Girl Says.  My boyfriend, Daniel (read his bio here), is a reader as well. He suffered from what a lot of male readers suffer from – they only read white men! Well, of course, that didn’t really work with this Nerd Girl and he has been making a journey through my massive YA collection. Now we’ve started this column together, to review books that I’ve most likely already reviewed so that we can get a male perspective on it. We hope you enjoy!

Today, though, I plan to stay in and kick off my four day weekend. I may curl up with a book – but what should I read? Here are some perfect reads for those who are staying in tonight, just like me!
