The Smell of Other People’s Houses almost reads like short story collection, at first, but then you start to realize that all of the characters fit together and their lives intertwine in the best of ways. The timing of the perspective changes was very well done and kept the momentum going. When […]

Blog Tour: Save Me, Kurt Cobain
Welcome to my stop on the Save Me, Kurt Cobain tour! After you read my thoughts, make sure you enter the fabulous giveaway and visit the other stops on the tour! What drew me to this story, initially, was a sense of nostalgia. I was in high school and early college during grunge’s […]
Burning Midnight By Will McIntosh
Burning Midnight was a sci-fi story that I think would be a great fit for someone new to the genre, or for a reader who is well versed. It was a great combination of a very appealing contemporary story with fun science fiction elements. The world that was created was interesting because it’s exactly like […]
Ex Libris Romance (52)
Call Me Maybe was a different kind of NA romance, but that is not a bad thing at all. The virtual meet cute was a very interesting way for these meet these two characters and it allowed them the space to get to know each other before meeting in person. Clementine’s wealth, which she tried […]
Up To This Pointe By Jennifer Longo
When I read the plot of Up To This Pointe I was a little skeptical about how a trip to Antarctica would tie in to dance, but I have to say that it did exactly that, and did it quite beautifully. Harper’s ancestor, Robert Falcon Scott, was one of the early antarctic explorers […]

I ended up really enjoying this one. Without realizing it, I read the third book in this series, which center around three roommates and their romance shenanigans. Chase me is the first in the series, which introduces Roxy, who is your typical Jersey Girl; outspoken, string, and not taking crap from anyone. However, her dream […]
Waiting on Wednesday
Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Breaking The Spine where I talk about books that I am eagerly anticipating! This week, my WoW pick is….. I really loved this author’s debut, Six Feet Over It, which I felt didn’t get the recognition it deserved. The whole Antarctica plot is intriguing […]
Ex Libris Romance (48)
Bailey has lived through a very serious illness so her enjoy life while you can approach is in direct contrast to Hudson’s dedication to all of the commitments in his life. Their relationship has sparks from the start and Hud’s protectiveness is a great foil to Bailey’s determination to be independent. Throw in her meddling […]
