First of all I’d like to say thank you to J.J. Azar for nominating me! It always means a lot to hear that someone enjoys my blog and all the random scattered thoughts and emotions that I manage to collect and shape into some semblance of a review. So, thank you very much!

If you haven’t visited his blog then you really must because his writing is just fabulous. It’s witty, intelligent, conversational, and I somehow always feel like I’ve learned something. His latest posts have been filled with writing tips and as an aspiring author myself I find them both entertaining and full of great advice.

Okay, onto this award that somehow little me was given… Continue reading →

Banner_favorite books and series

It was so incredibly hard to choose but I’ve finally come up with this year’s updated list of my favorite book series and stand-alones (as of 2016). There are so many amazing books that I’ve read so it was incredibly hard to narrow some of the categories down to just one series or book. Some were easy long time faves, but others…it was a challenge to choose!

Gilded Cage (Dark Gifts #1) by Vic James (2017)
-ARC Review-

Gilded Cage

Fiction | Urban Fantasy | Dystopia

Blurb:

“For readers of Victoria Aveyard and George RR Martin comes a darkly fantastical debut set in a modern England where magically gifted aristocrats rule and commoners are doomed to serve.

NOT ALL ARE FREE.
NOT ALL ARE EQUAL.
NOT ALL WILL BE SAVED.

Our world belongs to the Equals—aristocrats with magical gifts—and all commoners must serve them for ten years. But behind the gates of England’s grandest estate lies a power that could break the world. Continue reading →

Love of Reading Month

February 24, 2016January 24, 2018 ~ Angela ~ Leave a comment

Apparently February is “Love of Reading” month! I saw this lovely post from @Fictionophile and decided to put it on my own blog with my own answers! (Read her responses here: Love of Reading)

According to my mom I read a lot as a kid. She’d read to me, I’d read to her, I’d read to myself. Apparently I was a book addict even as a toddler. Many books have touched my life but perhaps one of those that had the largest impact on my life is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Yes, I feel a bit typical and far from unique with that answer but it’s the truth. And a bit more truth would tell you that it was seeing the movie in the movie theater that actually brought me to the book and my crime spree of stealing these books from my brother’s shelf until I’d caught up and overtook him as the biggest Potterhead in the family.
