THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!! I can't review this one and NOT TALK ABOUT THAT ENDING! Wow. Just wow. I bought this book because a couple of my fellow bloggers in the twitterverse/blogosphere were going crazy about it. I finally read the synopsis and decided I would check it out for myself, and … Continue reading Follow Me Back by A.V.Geiger
My first though when constructing this review was that I read two books back to back that have almost identical covers. (See Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin) I think I have a type. I would probably believe that more if I picked books for my TBR list based off of their covers, but I do … Continue reading A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain
Alright so July is the perfect month to start my BOTM Club. The last month of school is over and it is officially summer reading season. I decided on Black Beauty for a couple of reasons: I love horses. I read this book so long ago (around 20 years ago) that I don't even remember … Continue reading July’s BOTM – Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
Well, it's about time I actually start my Book of the Month Club, since I've had this blog up and running now for quite a few months. All interested parties are welcome! If you would like to join, send me an e-mail via my contact page that somehow indicates that you would like to join … Continue reading Book of the Month Club hosted by Goodreads
Alright, so I read the first book in this series way back before I started this blog, and I LOVED it! So much so that I specifically requested that my local library buy the second and third books in the series since they only had the first. Well, lo and behold, a couple of days … Continue reading Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin
Well, this was definitely an interesting read for me. This book came up in my RBTW book club for the month of May. And while it was an interesting read, I really struggled with this book for two reasons: (1) I have a hard time following stream-of-consciousness writing, especially when it doesn't follow logical thought, … Continue reading Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement
Okay, so this book came up in our RBTW Book Club rotation, picked by someone other than me. This was hard for me, just because it was the 3rd book in the series, and I haven't read the first two yet. My mind really struggles with doing things out of order. I bought the first … Continue reading Faithful Place by Tana French
Okay, so I've mentioned before how I'll just purchase anything that's $3.00 or less (based off of those Goodreads Deals e-mails that I get) on the Kindle as long as the synopsis sounds fairly interesting. The problem with the inexpensive books is they tend to not be that great story-wise. The only real exception to … Continue reading Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom
So people always ask me how I decide what books I'm going to read, and the simple answer to that question is PRICE, although I do also like a good synopsis. Goodreads is a fantastic site, as if I don't laud their praises enough, but they recently started this new thing called "Goodreads Deals" where … Continue reading Ticker by Lisa Mantchev
Oh man, this was another of those books where the premise and synopsis sounded so promising, but the author just could not deliver. Although I will admit that the majority of my review comes from my extreme dislike of the over-dramatized writing that this author used. I understand that her target audience is teens and … Continue reading The Curse: Touch of Eternity by Emily Bold
