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,…

Alrighty, today marks the last day of our one year celebration. And, firstly, I’m going to be announcing our first batch of winners! And then we have a very special giveaway at the end. So, the winner of the Legend by Marie Lu iiiisssss: Lisa B. And the winners of Daughter of Smoke and Bone…

There’s always a worry when starting the book that’s going to end a series. The worry that the characters wont be where you want them to be, or that it will be revealed that the author saw things so different from the way you had been seeing them, or whatever. So, I started Goliath ,…
