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 Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (Spoilers)
Well, I ended up taking an unplanned break from blogging for a bit. Like 5 months. Whoops. I was still reading and all that jazz, just not posting. But I've missed it, so I've decided to finally jump back in with one of my RBTW book club picks for the month of May. And wow, … Continue reading The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (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
Play Dead by Anne Frasier
I know you guys are probably pretty tired of hearing me sing the praises of Goodreads Deals, or just mentioning them in every. single. post. But some of us are on a budget, so I appreciate the fact that Goodreads is appealing to my thriftiness. Anyway, this book came up in an e-mail from Goodreads … Continue reading Play Dead by Anne Frasier
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
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Wow, I was so enchanted by this realm and these characters. What a fascinating world. It always amazes me how imaginative some authors can be. That's why I have no desire to write. I just don't have the capacity to create worlds like this. Or really anything that people would want to read... Graceling is … Continue reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore
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
The Witness by Nora Roberts
Okay, so I unintentionally took a hiatus there for a while, but I am happy to be back. 🙂 I picked this book up because I had been talking to some friends about how much I LOVED The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer, and I found my self in a mood to read a book similar to … Continue reading The Witness by Nora Roberts
