It’s that time of yeeeear! Pffft, what? No, of course I’m not talking about Halloween. It’s NaNo Prep time and the start of the countdown to the main event. At this point, most writers I know are exchanging the ever-popular question: Are you doing NaNoWriMo? It’s time to decide. It’s time to prep. It’s time […]
I picked this up after reading Paper Fury’s review, because this sounded right up my alley … and I was not disappointed! You know, I keep saying I really don’t read romance, and then I read romance and enjoy it? So I’m thinking maybe I don’t read so much adult romance? I don’t know. I’m all sorts […]
The real world is terribly boring. There, I said it. Part of the appeal of a good book is the escapism. It’s falling into a world that’s so different from our own. It’s the magic, dragons, romance, necromancy, ninjas, and newness of a different world. But mostly the dragons, let’s be honest. This week’s Top […]
So, in case you missed it, I had a birthday a couple weeks ago, which means … you guessed it … MORE BOOKS. Because I obviously didn’t have enough, and if you can’t buy more books for your birthday, when can you?! Also, it’s probably the only time of year my husband actually gives me […]
I knew from the moment I read the description that I would either love or hate In the Night Wood and there would be no in-betweens … and I kind of loved it? So I’m calling this one a win. The book seemed to deliver everything that I had expected from the blurb: a pervasive eerie […]
Wow, so, um, I read a lot. Surprise? Who knew? I love a good series, where I can keep coming back to characters like old friends, or revisiting the world or plots or ideas. But sometimes series are long, yeah? And then you get to the end and jolt back into the real world and […]
It’s no secret that I’ve been a fan of YA since the day I accidentally stumbled on it as a wee, innocent (*ish) child. *I’d say I was innocent, but my mother begs to differ, so I’ve split the difference. See? I’m not completely unreasonable. I thought I knew the Young Adult genre pretty well, […]
I want to start this out with something that I think is the most important thing to say about this book, before I even begin: I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS NOT A YA BOOK. Parents, please don’t give this book to your younger teens without first being educated on the content and knowing what […]
We spend so much time talking about books (which is great, don’t get me wrong, because books are life), but sometimes we neglect the people behind the books. No, I don’t mean the cashier checking out your latest haul, despite the fact that we all know what your TBR looks like. I mean the author. You know, that little humanoid-looking […]
It’s no secret that a lot of people have a sort of fascination with cults, and I’m no exception—though I don’t normally read fiction about cults. But with this one? First, I read some positive reviews about it from people whose opinion I respect, and that goes a long way. Second … have you read […]
