Bad Blurbs Don’t Sell Books

This has been something stewing in the back of my mind for quite a while now, and I've actually talked about it so many times in so many different places, I just went back to make sure I hadn't actually written the blog already. I think I've talked before (I know I have on the … Continue reading Bad Blurbs Don’t Sell Books

BOOK REVIEW: LOKI BOUND by Charity Ayres

I was provided a copy of this book free of charge from the author in exchange for my honest review. I will admit, Marvel and Tom Hiddleston have made me perk up and pay attention when Loki's name is mentioned around me. Even apart from the Avengers movies, I've enjoyed learning more about the original … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: LOKI BOUND by Charity Ayres

BOOK REVIEW: ROYAL by Winter Renshaw

I picked this book up (I'm pretty sure from BookBub) for free sometime recently. I'm not surprised, honestly. Some of these books I look at the cover and I have no memory of the plot summary or why I decided it was a good idea to get it. I really do try not to just … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ROYAL by Winter Renshaw

BOOK REVIEW: THE INSTITUTE by Kayla Howarth

I'm fairly certain I picked this up as a freebie somewhere along the line, though I don't remember where or when. (This happens to me a lot. It's what I get for randomly downloading free books constantly.) Despite the market being super saturated with young adult dystopian stories, I'm still game to read most of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE INSTITUTE by Kayla Howarth

BOOK REVIEW: ONE OF THE GUYS by Kristan Higgins

I can't recall when I picked up this book, but reading the description as a refresher told me why I would have clicked a download link. Chastity O'Neill has grown up in a family of strong men, her father and four brothers all volunteer firefighters. (And really, any wife/mother in that situation is just as … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ONE OF THE GUYS by Kristan Higgins

Background Music

(Author's note: I'm writing this just before I leave on my weekend trip, and I'm on very little sleep and only have half of an idea of what I was thinking when I started this post. Sorry if it loses focus!) One of the more commonly asked questions I see floating around the writing community … Continue reading Background Music

BOOK REVIEW: MAKING A KILLING by John L. Hart & Olivia Rupprecht

I received a copy of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. I'm always nervous about thrillers, particularly thrillers in series. It's very easy to forget to bring in potential new readers. And while I was offered a chance to read THERE WILL BE KILLING before I read this on, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: MAKING A KILLING by John L. Hart & Olivia Rupprecht

BOOK REVIEW: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S: THE SILVER EYES by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley

It's not often that I get to combine two of my loves into a single post. But lo and behold, bless Scott Cawthon and his desire to tell stories, because he's helped create a book in a world with better lore than the next six games (besides UNDERTALE) put together. Needless to say, this review … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S: THE SILVER EYES by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley

Discouragement, Frustration, Irritation

It's been a trying past few...whiles. The past few days in particular, I've been feeling very frustrated and disheartened about a lot of things in my life. I had a bunch of topics I was going to write about but none of them are coming to me. (One I can't remember what I meant by … Continue reading Discouragement, Frustration, Irritation

BOOK REVIEW: READING THE DEAD by J.B. Cameron

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. It's no real secret that paranormal and/or fantasy books are right up my alley. I love the concepts of ghosts, demons, angels, all of that. So even just at first glance, READING THE DEAD sounded like a book I'd … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: READING THE DEAD by J.B. Cameron
