This came up in my Reading Between the Wines book club for the month of November (I know, I finished it way earlier than I normally finish book club books). And I think I might have mentioned this before (The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls), but rating memoirs and biographies is hard. How do you … Continue reading A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
Well, I didn't mean to finish this book next, but....here we are. I actually started drafting two other posts for the two other books that I'm reading, and doesn't it just figure that the one I finish reading next is one that I haven't even started drafting...? But I guess that just goes to show … Continue reading The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (No Spoilers)
A Glimmer of Hope by Steve McHugh (No Spoilers)
Alright, so first of all, I have news. You know how I always sing the praises of Goodreads Deals and they feature in almost every one of my reviews because I'm obsessed and I have a book problem!? Well, I was surprised to learn that Amazon has decided to merge Goodreads Deals with Kindle Daily … Continue reading A Glimmer of Hope by Steve McHugh (No Spoilers)
The Winter Over by Matthew Iden (Spoilers)
Okay, so the first thing I have to say is that I listened to this book rather than read it, and the narrator for this book was FANTASTIC! She nailed all of the accents. We're talking, Irish, Russian, Dutch, Southern American, all of it. She lent each character their own personality with her narration and … Continue reading The Winter Over by Matthew Iden (Spoilers)
The Black Witch by Laurie Forest
Man, so sorry for that little impromptu hiatus I took there. The end of the semester got the best of me. But now, I'm caught up on school, caught up on my work work, and now I can get back to blogging. I actually missed it quite a bit, and I have quite a few … Continue reading The Black Witch by Laurie Forest
Legend by Marie Lu
So, as is my usual way with Goodreads Deals, I tend to go in to these stories rather blind. I just started blogging this year and so my only frame of reference for Marie Lu is her new book that just came out, Warcross, which I actually bought, but haven't read yet. But Legend came … Continue reading Legend by Marie Lu
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
So the campus café at my University is located in a Barnes and Noble, which means that when I have class (Mondays and Wednesdays) I usually end up leaving the café with lunch and a few books. I tend to browse while they're making my sandwich and coffee. And that is were I picked this … Continue reading Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
Fire by Kristin Cashore
So Fire is the second book in the Graceling series by Kristin Cashore, but it really is more of a prequel than a sequel. Which is kind of disappointing. I was so excited to pick this book up and learn about different graces and more from Cashore's realm only to be slapped in the face … Continue reading Fire by Kristin Cashore
The Eighth Guardian by Meredith McCardle
So far, I have learned one thing about myself from blogging book reviews: I tend to read similar books back to back. (See Exile for Dreamers and A Murder in Time) I'm not sure how this phenomenon occurs because I certainly don't plan these things out. I just read based off of what mood I'm … Continue reading The Eighth Guardian by Meredith McCardle
ARC Review of Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
I went with three flames for this one because despite all of the negatives I found in this book, the concept and plot of the story was hypnotic and I found myself under Smith's spell. A little background because I think it helps illustrate my confusion. If you've never heard the story of Daedalus and … Continue reading ARC Review of Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
