I admit that I picked this book up because I am, and always have been, fascinated by grief. When I saw the jacket copy for Six Feet Over It, I knew that this story would be different, and I was right in the best possible way. While having to adjust to her strange new life […]

Ex Libris Romance (29)
I would very much like to move to Lucky Harbor. Maybe it’s because it’s hot as HADES in Texas right now, but there is just something about this small town that makes me want to go and be a part of everyone’s stories. This book begins to tell the stories of three friends who run […]
Remainders (27)
Well, Hi! It has been a long while since I’ve posted one of these, so it’s good to see everyone! There’s been lots of bookish new lately on the movie and TV screens. If I Stay was released to great reviews in theaters (I’m seeing it very soon) and, of course, Outlander is making everyone […]
The Fire Wish By Amber Lough
The Fire Wish takes the oft used idea of two girls from different worlds who switch places, but sets it in a magically alternate Baghdad, where the humans and the Jinni have been at war for centuries. From the beginning, I really enjoyed the excellent world building and the way the story […]
Into The Dark by Alison Gaylin
Into The Dark is a follow up to And She Was, and like its predecessor, it artfully combines intricate mystery with a personal story. The Iris Neff case pushed Brenna into the limelight, which both works for and against her. In this book, a mysterious performance artist has […]
The Taking By Kimberly Derting
We meet Kyra shortly before she disappears for five years, and then after when she wakes up to discover that her whole life has changed without her. The journey she goes on to find out the truth takes her back to old loves, new loves, a new family, and a father whose “crazy” theories […]
Sisters’ Fate By Jessica Spotswood
I was so anxious to get my hands on this book because not only was the ending of book two almost too painful to bear, but I knew that the journey to the end of this series woudl be full of nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat story telling. I was right. Sisters’ Fate is the conclusion to […]
Ex Libris Romance: Sleeping With The Boss
I am thrilled to host a stop on the Sleeping With The Boss blog tour! I had a lot of fun reading this new contemporary romance. Scroll down for my review, a snippet, and a giveaway! I always enjoy the bookish girl paired with the alpha male trope in romance. What I loved about […]
Silver Shadows By Richelle Mead
As The Fiery Heart ended, Sydney was dragged to “reeducation” and as Silver Shadows opens, she is still there, undergoing some pretty awful treatment in the name of reprogramming her brain. As with book 4, we get Adrian’s point of view and he has almost given up ever finding Sydney’s location. As they each […]
After I Do By Taylor Jenkins Reid
After I Do might seem like your typical marriage-in-crisis story, but what I found was a very honest and sometimes painful look at a couple who hits a pretty big roadblock and must make a detour in order to decide whether their marriage is worth saving. I think the key to this type of […]
