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
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
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
Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor
So this was another of those Goodreads Deals that I bought where the premise sounded super intriguing. Hope Walton, described as "fragile" in the synopsis for this book, left reeling after the death of her mother, decides to spend her summer in Scotland. Here she discovers that her mother was part of a group of … Continue reading Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor
The Countess by Rebecca Johns
#SPOILERALERT Which means I will be discussing various details that are NOT #SPOILERFREE Okay, so I found this book via Goodreads Deals a couple of months ago and the synopsis sounded vaguely interesting and something akin to "The horror of the serial murders by the Countess Bathory told in her own words...Were the serial murders … Continue reading The Countess by Rebecca Johns
Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom
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
