Ten Books I Would Buy If I Won the Lottery

August 2, 2016 | Weekly

If only this actually happened. I’d probably end up buying out half of our local Barnes & Noble (to be fair, it’s pretty small). I’m also a firm supporter of owning multiple editions of books just because they’re favorites. Or the covers are pretty, totally shallow I know. Check out the list below of all the things I definitely need and can’t afford, and let me know what you’d buy! Harry Potter editions This gets its own section because why not. These gorgeous, leather-bound editions […]

Review - Copper Girl by Jennifer Allis Provost

August 1, 2016 | Reviews

This book was provided by the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. It’s hard to be original anymore in the paranormal romance genre. Time and time again I’ve seen the same basic plot and the same character tropes. And when a book seems to be different from the rest, it’s either great or leaves much to be desired. Copper Girl fell somewhere in the range of the latter and, […]

Review - Moon Tortured by McKenzie Hunter

July 31, 2016 | Reviews

When I read the first book in a new series, I’m primarily looking for one thing: does this book make me want to read the next one? In the case of Moon Tortured, I would have to say that it did; however, the journey to that point was a rough one. This urban fantasy includes the familiar players in the genre: werewolves/were-animals, vampires, warlocks, and mentions of the fae, elves, etc. Definitely in the paranormal world here. Skylar Brooks is a werewolf and something else […]

#FF & Thoughts on DNF Reviews

July 29, 2016 | Discussion, Weekly

What is your take on DNF books. Do you review them? Choose not to review them?   Sometimes I like a book. Sometimes it’s just not for me. via GIPHY I have a personal policy when it comes to reading. Each book gets 50 pages (less if it’s under 200 pages total). I don’t know where the number 50 came from but usually I can tell if I’ll finish a book or not based on that many pages or less. To be honest, I don’t […]

Review - Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

July 29, 2016 | Reviews

By the time I had the chance to read this book, I knew it would either be absolutely amazing or a huge letdown (as tends to happen when you leave an anticipated TBR waiting). Rebel of the Sands fell on the former side with a beautiful world of magic and sand and enough action to keep any reader entertained. We’re introduced to Amani and the desert where she lives, a barren place with scattered towns anyone with enough sense would want to escape. And for her […]

Guest Post & Giveaway - Top 5 Literary Heroines by Jennifer Allis Provost

July 28, 2016 | Blog Tour, Giveaway, Guest Post

There are many types of wonderful characters out there, ranging from brilliant librarians to regal kings, but there’s just something about a feisty female who gets the job done. Here are my top five literary heroines, in no particular order. Eowyn (The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien) – She refused to be put in a cage, and took up her sword and went to war with the rest of her country. She also has one of the best lines in the book, spoken […]

Review - Red Queen by Christina Henry

July 28, 2016 | Reviews

This book was provided by NetGalley for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. In Red Queen we have the sequel to Christina Henry’s Chronicles of Alice series. I suppose I hoped for more than this book could offer. Where Alice attempted horror mixed with an odd fantastical theme, Red Queen was a whole other ballpark. Tame isn’t quite the right word but in comparison to the first installment it fits. This book doesn’t have the same […]
