Leiah’s Pile of Shame - Whatch Ya Reading

I have decided I don’t have a book problem, I have a time problem. The problem is I don’t have enough of it. There are so many amazing books to be read and everything (read: life) just gets in the way!

I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of Christine’s ALA trip, as well as going to ComicCon. This means ARCs, y’all. Lots of them. I covet them. I lay on top of them, writhing… okay, moving on. Here’s my ARC version of my POS.

Crazy, right? Just insanely, stupidly crazy. I am planning on reviewing most of these, so I’m confident that I’ll get through them, and there will probably be a few giveaways because I just don’t have enough room to keep all of them.

I really need a Time Turner.

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

The Vampire Stalker by Allison Van Diepen

I know what you’re thinking. ‘Really? Another vampire book?’ But hear me out. The title and summary is a bit misleading because vamps are not romanticized at all here. So, yes, it is another vampire book, but the vamps are definitely the bad guys in this one. Well… somewhat, but I don’t want to give…

Death Cloud: Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane

It is the summer of 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. On break from boarding school, he is staying with eccentric strangers—his uncle and aunt—in their vast house in Hampshire. When two local people die from symptoms that resemble the plague, Holmes begins to investigate what really killed them, helped by his new tutor, an…

Comic Con for the Young Adult Reader Part Two

Comic Con for the Young Adult Reader Part Two – Exhibition Hall Okay. This one is more difficult to describe if you have never been to Comic Con. But, if you know what you are doing, can be very, very rewarding. So, what is the Exhibition Hall? Well, it’s huge. I’ve never seen any pictures…

Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs

Despite the amazing cover and the fact that I’ve enjoyed all of Tera Lynn Child’s other books, I wasn’t sure I was going to like Sweet Venom. I paid a bit of attention to the marketing Harper was doing for it, and I got the impression that the book was a little more serious than…
