I’m going to let you in on a little secret: there are a LOT of published books out there. And for some reason, I haven’t read all of them yet? Wow, I’ve dropped the ball somewhere. If you find it, please let me know. There are fantastic new books published every single day at this […]
Now that Halloween has forsaken us to the cold, miserable clutches of winter*, there’s never been a better time to curl up with a good book. *Yes, I am being very extra and dramatic, but oh my gosh, it’s COLD and WET and ABANDON ALL HOPE BECAUSE WINTER IS COMING. *flails* On the plus side, […]
So, I had planned to read all the spooky books, and I ended up reading, like, two. Turns out I’m really bad at sticking to plans. Who knew? (Hint: Everyone). October was a slow month for me, in general, for several reasons. First, I focused a lot on my health over everything else, both mental […]

It’s certainly no secret that my favorite characters of all time are gray characters. You know, because life is complicated, and so are the best characters. Sometimes, good people do bad things. You know, like stab a few … dozen … people. I mean, it happens, right? This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is about villains, […]

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 […]
