Another month, another batch of books up on the chopping block! In an effort to cut down my ever-growing TBR list I’ve selected another five hopefuls that I’m trying to decide whether I should keep them and read them, or scratch them off my list and wave them farewell.
As always I greatly appreciate your opinions and help!
(This post was inspired by Lia @ Lost in a Story. To read more about it and how this post series works check out my first post here) Continue reading
I am an avid reader and a dedicated book blogger but sometimes I get requests from authors to review their books and unfortunately I just don’t have the time in my busy schedule and/or perhaps it’s just not quite my thing. So every once in a while instead of reading/reviewing their book, I’ll agree to put together a little post to help pass along the word in case any of you readers out there will find it interesting. This time it seems the book roulette has landed on an Urban Fantasy Romance. It sounds like a potentially absorbing read but I’m not quite sure it’s my thing but maybe it’ll interest some of you.

I’m lucky enough to be front and center for it all and the whole ancient mystery around it has me intrigued. (Okay fine it’s just basic science but play along, will ya?) Continue reading

Sixteen-year-old Sorina has spent most of her life within the smoldering borders of the Gomorrah Festival.

So every once in a while instead of reading/reviewing their book, I’ll agree to put together a little post to help pass along the word in case any of you readers out there will find it interesting. This time it seems the book roulette has landed on a YA Contemporary Thriller. I actually ended up finding some time to write a mini-review for this one and maybe it’ll interest some of you.
