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

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
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
I can't recall exactly where I came across STARGIRL for the first time, though my guess would be I saw something about it on Goodreads. I'm not usually a reader of anything bordering on Middle Grade; it has a tendency to amplify everything I dislike about Young Adult. (This doesn't surprise me, of course. The … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli
When I got my Kindle for Christmas, I went on a bit of a spree trying to find books I could track down for either free or very low cost. I can't recall how I tracked this one down--I'm guessing it showed up somewhere in my library as a free download, but the blurb looked … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR by A.J. Banner
It's no secret that I have an incredibly long TBR list. Thus, when I talk to my friends about books they enjoy, I have to take any time they say "oh gosh you HAVE you read this book/series/etc" very lightly. If I read every book that everyone told me I should, I would genuinely never … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: IN THE WOODS by Tana French
I received an ARC of this book free of charge through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I don't know when I picked this up, but I've had a fascination for books and characters whose lives are falling apart around them. Vices? Bring them on. Addiction? Love it. Abuse? Sure. I truly enjoy watching … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FINDING HOPE by Colleen Nelson
I bought this book at an event put on locally around Hallowe'en time for horror etc. authors from around the eastern Virginia/Maryland/etc area. Of course, any event at a brewery is going to get my attention because hey, beer and books! But honestly I took one look at this author's name and decided I needed … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BLAKE TWENTY-THREE by Slade Grayson
This summer, my best friend was talking to me about a book she'd read which took place around where we'd grown up, and was written by a local. I was still unemployed at the time, so she very kindly bought the book for me--and then I promptly failed to read it for months. (Because I'm … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SONG OF SUMMER by Laura Lee Anderson
This review is written in exchange for a ARC through The Story Plant. I have to admit, you tell me that a story has a rock star--has-been or not--and you're going to catch my interest. I think there's an innate love of the rocker image born into people like me, and it's impossible to resist. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: PERFECTLY BROKEN by Robert Burke Warren
