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,…

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 ,…
It’s Day Three of our week long Blogoversary and I’m talking about Crossed today. So, I was really worried about Crossed. Matched was one of my favourite reads of last year and I’d heard that Crossed had two points of view (I’m so not a fan of point of view changes) and I just knew…
Once or twice a year I find a book that hits a certain part of me. I can’t quantify what it is about the book, what this ‘part of me” is. Or anything really. I just know that the story and the characters wont leave my mind after I’ve finished the book. I have to…
