About

This blog is everything to me. A sanctuary. A soap box. And of course, a place to spread the word about the best (and worst) books that are on your bookshelf (or could be). For most of my life, I've had my nose in a book or a pen and paper in my hand. As the daughter of an English teacher, I'm naturally drawn to bookshelves. I read as many as four books at a time (because I can keep all the stories straight, so why not plow through as many as I can?) and I will enjoy them to my dying day.

I look for books whenever I can, however I can. They come from a range of places from author conventions to boxes in the basement. I was always looking for an opportunity to go into a deep discussion about the books I was currently reading, but not many people are avid readers like myself. So, when I discovered blogging to be a viable option, I jumped in head first. I also have books that are recommended to me as well, so the list just keeps on going.

Please know that I do add more books to this blog as often as I can, so be patient with my reading pace and my blogging skills. As a fellow reader, I shall respect your opinions and hope you do the same. And in return, I promise to put 1000% into this; my whole heart and nothing short of the best. You see, this is as much for you as it is for me.

Finale by Stephanie Garber (Review #236)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE CARAVAL TRILOGY, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 3. CHECK OUT  CARAVAL  FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1, AND LEGENDARY FOR BOOK 2! "It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist.

The Harpy by Megan Hunter (Review #245)

“Lucy lives with her husband, Jake and their two boys. Her life is devoted to her children, her days, mapped out by their finally tune routine. Until a man calls one afternoon with a shattering message. His wife has been having an affair with Lucy’s husband. He thought she should know. Lucy is distraught. She decides to stay with Jake, if only for their children sake, but in order to even the score, they agreed that she will hurt him three times. Jake Will not know when the hurt is coming, or what form it will take. And so begins a delicate game of crime and punishment, from which there is no return…” Review: “Deeply unsettling” author Daisy Johnson said of this book, and honestly I think that’s the perfect description. For me though this wasn’t necessarily horror, and fantasy is a stretch at best, but let’s backtrack a bit. This story was about grief. Lucy is grieving and trying to heal from a monumental wound. She by no means is a pillar of a healthy psyche, but even in her worst mom...

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose in one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.
