I've never considered myself much of a romance novel reader. In my head, they have a tendency to be formulaic, tedious, and unbelievable. Couple meets, falls for each other, sex happens way too fast, someone does something stupid, they hate each other, and by the end all is back to happy sex again. While other … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Just Say Yes by Elizabeth Hayley

I'm generally not a fan of that phrase--"new year, new me"--because to me, it claims that something about the "old" you was bad. There's nothing wrong with the "me" I was back in 2015; I just know that I could be better. So rather than being a "new me," I'm hoping to just be a "better … Continue reading New Year, New Me?
There are two kinds of books, when it comes to characters staying with you after the final page: the ones who wrap themselves so deeply into your brain you'd swear that just for a moment, they were real...and the ones who are stuck there as your brain keeps trying desperately to figure out what the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DIVIDED by Sharon M. Johnston
Tony Noland was one of those authors who kept showing up as a retweet in my Twitter stream. I had no clue who he was or what he was talking about, but it became apparent fairly quickly that he was an author, and one with a sharp sense of humor to boot. I bought his … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Verbosity’s Vengeance by Tony Noland
I received an ARC for this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. If absolutely nothing else, the initial blurb of this book is enough to make me grab it off the shelf. Dark things happening! There was a war! Ugly truths! Risks being taken and secrets being kept! Woo! What more could … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet
I've never read any of Jodi Picoult's work before, though a quick look at a Books-A-Million the other day showed me that I'd be willing to at least give them a shot. So when Between the Lines and its sequel Off the Page started showing up in my BookTube world, I didn't quite know what to expect. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
The Winner's Curse is a book that I walked by in a library and the cover caught my eye. I'd been in looking for a different book (which I didn't find) and saw the gorgeous red-pink cover and had to see what it was about. The blurb was interesting enough, and since I wasn't finding … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
Hey look! I'm writing something that isn't a book review! And it's not going to post on a Wednesday! THAT WORLD MUST BE COMING TO AN END If that's the case, I'll give you a cute picture and then put the rest below the cut, so you don't need to see my ugly death. Okay? … Continue reading Constructive Criticism and You: A Handy Guide
I had originally been a portion of a blog tour for this book (as you saw my promo post for it a post or so back) and was scheduled to give a review on that day. However, there was a stipulation in the tour (understandably) that if you could not give the book a 3-star … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – Of Gods and Madness: The Faithful by Justin D. Herd
So if you live in a portion of the Internet that talks about books (and if you don't, how on Earth did you find my blog?) then you probably know that GO SET A WATCHMAN by Harper Lee was released recently. The story is set in Scout's future: everyone is older, the world is different, … Continue reading I Haven’t Shot a Gun in Thirty Years… (Or Fifty-Five)
