If you want to read the spoiler, highlight between the two ♈ symbols. For those using the Word Press Reader: the text between the two symbols won't be hidden - so if you don't want the story to be spoiled, look away when you get to the ♈ symbols or visit my actual site to avoid … Continue reading The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman (Spoilers)

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (Spoilers)
I'm definitely not a scary books or movies kind of person. A lot of my reading is more lighthearted and serves as an escape from the harsh realities of day to day life. I don't know what kind of magic is associated with Halloween, but it's strong enough to make even me want to watch … Continue reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (Spoilers)
Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
Well, I was totally right about how many books I would finish while in the land of no internet and no cell service. I finished five books - three of which were over 400 pages long, one of which was in the 600 page range. One of them was a reread (I wanted to remember … Continue reading Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard
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
