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)

The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
So I'm trying to get all my reviews squared away before we head off for the Thanksgiving holiday, because I know I'll finish at least 3 books while I'm away. My aunt has no cell service and no wifi where she lives so aside from watching television, which I hardly do when I'm at home … Continue reading The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
Two small little tangents before I jump in to this review: (1) it was recently brought to my attention that if you read any of my reviews from the WordPress Reader, rather than going to my actual page, the spoilers that I hide between the two little ♈ symbols that I always use to indicate a spoiler … Continue reading The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
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
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
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
