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

So I took to Twitter the other day and asked all you lovely luminaries out there what you were interested in hearing me talk about here on the blog. My dear friend Sky said "strange and mysterious that you've seen happen." For a long time, I sat staring at my screen, wondering what strange and … Continue reading Strange and Mysterious Happenings
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
Time: Thursday, 4:55 pm I could already tell it was going to be an adventure of a day when I walked in for my dinner shift and saw Dana, one of my newer coworkers, leaning over the register with a pen and paper in one hand, and a customer's credit card in the other. "Uh … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Houston, We Have a Problem
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
I've not made a secret out of the fact that character development is something to which I've devoted way too much of my life. I was obsessed with character surveys. I've done star charts for characters--and then altered things depending on how accurate it was. I did my entire undergraduate thesis on the concept. And yet … Continue reading Tell Me What You Remember
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
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 a very important topic to me, and one that still touches very close to home as I still struggle with it. I apologize in advance if my train of thought jumps around a little or I seem a little disconnected. I have a lot of thoughts about this and I'm not sure how … Continue reading Working Through the Lies or With Them?
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
