Do you know what Epic Reads is? No? Well you should. You should also know that Epic Reads exists because of the benevolence of King Snarkles, the reading hedgehog. …uh…if this isn’t making any sense to you then I don’t how to explain. Just know that reading is great and hedgehogs are cute and when…

I remember the fortunate moment when I got an advanced copy of Marie Lu’s Legend in my hot little hands. I was excited. Very excited. It ticked many of my boxes. Dytopian? Check. Crazy smart heroine? Check. Learning to see like from another point of view? Check. Zombies? No. Alas. No zombies. But that’s ok,…

Confession time: I wanted to read this book since it was an indie published under the title “Good Oil”. I was thrilled when I learned it was going to be published in the states under a new name and then it showed up on NetGalley several months ago and I was absolutely ecstatic  Of course I…

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this book FOREVER…when it’s actually only been six months since I read Rift. But I just love Ember and Barrow so much and I needed to know the end of their story! Everything Conatus stands for is at risk. Hoping to gather enough resistance to save their order,…

I love Gayle Forman. I loved the emotional catharsis of reading If I Stay and Where She Went. Enjoyable days where I sobbed for hours and hours. Really, she writes the feel good books of the century. Also, she is fan of Jellicoe Road, and we all know how I feel about that particular book….

I love Brenna’s books. I love that she writes stand alone with mysteries and romance and real, characters that dig themselves into my head and don’t leave. Paper Valentine was no exception. The city of Ludlow is gripped by the hottest July on record. The asphalt is melting, the birds are dying, petty crime is…

I read Ann Aguirre’s Enclave last year and have already talked about how much I liked it. It had zombies, which I love (which? whom? Two sentences into this review and I’m already feeling all existential). It also had a kickass heroine (Deuce), a boy I could root for her to be with (Fade), and…

So. A blogger friend of mine, Lindsay, was chatting with author Kathleen Peacock on twitter just before Christmas. Kathleen, being awesome, offered to send Lindsay a copy of Asunder. Lindsay, being confused, said no. I jumped in on this conversation and, well, both Lindsay and I have now read Asunder. And all’s well with the…

Here we are, once again at the end of the year (and, of course, because I was in charge of this post and I have been such a failure at updating this year, it is going up late. 2013 resolution: be a better blogger, Kate!). Anyway, once again (only this time after the actual new…

Few books turn me into a gasping, squeeing, over excited fangirl((that’s a complete lie. A lot of books do)) but this series is definitely one of them. Even thinking about it while I write this review is making it difficult for me to keep from FREAKING OUT. No one is like Daemon Black. When he…
