BOOK REVIEW: SUFFER LOVE by Ashley Herring Blake

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I didn't know much about this book from NetGalley's description. The description is incredibly short, and only indicates that it's a YA romance where "a teenage girl falls for the wrong guy." I'll admit that I get easily burnt out on … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SUFFER LOVE by Ashley Herring Blake

BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty

In my on-going challenge to actually read all the books I've bought over my time in the MFA program I studied in, I'm trying to mix them in with all the other books I've gotten. FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING is one of the first books I got at Carlow, after hearing McCafferty speak. After 3 … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty

BOOK REVIEW: SOME THINGS TRANSCEND by M.C.A. Hogarth

Been a while since I did one of Micah's books, isn't it? For a while I was waiting for paper versions of books so that I could add them to my bookshelf, but I got impatient and Maggie could use some uplifting stuff as her job situation changes, so OFF TO THE E-BOOK STORE I … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SOME THINGS TRANSCEND by M.C.A. Hogarth

BOOK REVIEW: THE HARVEST by Chuck Wendig

At long last. I finally read this book. AT LONG LAST. (Spoilers for books 1-2 under the cut.) There's something a little bittersweet about final books in series. It's the point you've been trying to get to all this time; it's the grand finale where (you hope) all the questions get answered. But at the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE HARVEST by Chuck Wendig

BOOK REVIEW: THE GIRL WHO STAYED by Tanya Anne Crosby

I received an ARC of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for an honest review. I remember being excited when I saw the description for this book in my emails with Story Plant. It sounded like a good combination of a thriller and women's fiction, which would soften a few of the edges … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE GIRL WHO STAYED by Tanya Anne Crosby

BOOK REVIEW: DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

Okay, so I'll admit. I'm a huge fan of Wicked, both the musical and the book. I've seen The Wiz, both on stage and the movie. I haven't actually seen the original Wizard of Oz movie all that often, and nor have I had a chance to read the books. But I love the story, and the characters, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

BOOK REVIEW: BLIGHTBORN by Chuck Wendig

Book twooo! I continue to be way too excited to read this trilogy. I've waited so long... *sniff* But particularly after where book one left off, I was particularly interested in what was going to happen next. (Note: spoilers for book one below the cut, because it is literally impossible to talk about book two … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BLIGHTBORN by Chuck Wendig

BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp

I've been excited to read this since I first found out that the book existed and was going to be published.  As with too much of the rest of the country, I have a strange fascination with tragedy and why it happens, so a book about a school shooting is right up my alley. (Particularly … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp

BOOK REVIEW: UNDER THE EMPYREAN SKY by Chuck Wendig

This is book one of the Heartland trilogy. I've finally obtained, and read, a book one of a Chuck Wendig series. yesssssssssss But in all seriousness, my ongoing battle with Barnes & Noble, Chuck Wendig, and my propensity for obtaining book threes in trilogies has been the topic of some discussion on both here and … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: UNDER THE EMPYREAN SKY by Chuck Wendig

BOOK REVIEW: THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly

I've always been torn on how I should approach book reviews: whether to write the review immediately after reading the book, or waiting a bit and seeing how the book stays with me and then writing the review. Sometimes however, the decision is made for me just because of my schedule--and that's the case with … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly
