I was really excited for this book. I’m not even sure why. I hadn’t heard of it previous to going to Comic Con but when it was talked about at the HarperCollins panel I decided it must be mine. Luckily they were giving out copies on Sunday so I snagged one. (Though I didn’t have…

Fall is almost upon us (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) and there is nothing I love to do more when autumn blows in than curl up with a blanket, a mug of hot cocoa, and a good book. I have chosen five books that I consider to be “must-reads” for fall, and here they…

I’ve been reading a lot of Very Serious Books lately. Heavy issues, heavy prose, and heavy thoughts. These reads are wonderful and can teach us so much and give us insight into experiences that we would never be able to experience otherwise. They can also be very taxing on you after awhile and that’s where…

Christine: I adore Jackson Pearce. Honestly, if you watch even one of her vlogs, you’ll feel the same way. She’s just so cute and perky and her dog is possibly the cutest dog EVER. So of course I have to read everything she’s written. How can someone be so adorable and NOT write great stories?…

Some of you might not know that I’m a NSYA (Not So Young Adult). It’s true and I did it. You know, that thing adults do when they worry about “the kids.” I did it while reading Ashes, by Ilsa J. Bick. I lost myself in reading this story and then somewhere about halfway through, I…

Kicking off the blog tour of The Predicteds by Christine Seifert, I got the chance to ask Christine (great name, btw) a few questions about her debut book and some other things I was interested in knowing about her. 1) The Predicteds sounds amazing. Where did the idea for it come from? Thanks! I hope…

If you haven’t heard of  Scars, you need to read the summary below because it’s an intense ride through Kendra’s traumatic and painful path to finding some even ground to stand on. Kendra, fifteen, hasn’t felt safe since she began to recall devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse, especially because she still can’t remember the…

Everything about this post is explained in the embedded video/audio file…thingy. Which is Christine and I telling you about the giveaway and how it all came to be but I thought I’d do a brief explanation here anyway. After posting our review of Bloodlines I, accidentally, signed up to be a part of the Bloodlines…

I’m starting to think that books about past lives and reincarnation are becoming my thing. I seem to just keep seeking them out, and publishers seem to be finding an emerging market for them. In the last year or so  we’ve had My Name is Memory, Falling Under, Wake Unto Me, Timeless and if you…

When I got my box of books from ALA, I had a pretty distinct order I’d planned to read them in. Maggie Stiefvater’s The Scorpio Races wasn’t that high on the list, mainly because I haven’t read Shiver. But Katie is obsessed with horse books and I wanted her to be able to read it,…
