There is something about talking to someone online that creates a sense of comfort (obviously) and the feeling of a safety net when you are exposing emotions you wouldn’t necessarily divulge to someone, in person. Tell Me Three Things capitalized on that idea by creating a wonderful slow-building romance that was both honest and […]

Ex Libris Romance (45)
I really should just say – It’s a Lisa Kleypas book, do you really need me to convince you? However, if you haven’t read anything by one of my very favorite romance authors, let me tell you that you are missing out. Cold Hearted Rake is the first book in a new series and this […]
Ten Thousand Skies Above You By Claudia Gray
I am always skeptical going into a second book, perhaps even more so if I really loved the first book. Ten Thousand Skies Above You, much to my delight, provided more twists, more traveling, and more thoughtful romance that I could have hoped for. I’m not sure I have ever read a book with a […]

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…..

Blog Tour + Giveaway: Illuminae
Welcome to my stop on the Illuminae tour. I am very excited to share my thoughts about this unique book! The first time I saw Illuminae in ARC form, I almost had a heart attack because this book is massive. However, the publicist promised me I would love its unique delivery and she was […]

A few month ago, Random House approached me about featured one of their books that has been banned or challenged in order to bring awareness during banned book week. I jumped at the chance because I feel very strongly that no reader should have to fight in order to have access to any book. Blood […]
Drowning Is Inevitable By Shalanda Stanley
Drowning Is Inevitable was a quietly addicting story. Once I picked it up, I wanted to keep going and when I wasn’t reading it, it nagged at me until I picked it up again. Olivia’s life is a fractured narrative; her grandmother slips in and out of reality as she mistakes Olivia for her deceased […]
Goodbye Stranger By Rebecca Stead
I have never read a Rebecca Stead book, but Goodbye Stranger was a fantastic surprise, so I know it won’t be my last book from this author. The writing was beautiful; it was simple but profound, which is why I think it will appeal to a broad range of readers. At […]
We Never Asked For Wings By Vanessa Diffenbaugh
I have been waiting forever, it seems, for a second book from Vanessa Diffenbaugh. The Language of Flowers sticks in my mind to this day, so I was eager to start reading We Never Asked For Wings. Once again, Vanessa Diffenbaugh has created a family that is flawed and struggling, and I was captivated by […]
Book Blast: Nightmares
In September 2014, actor and multi-talented creative artist Jason Segel broke into children’s publishing with the New York Times bestseller NIGHTMARES!, the first in a trilogy cowritten with Kirsten Miller, to critical praise and the delight of young readers. An engaging and hilariously frightening middle-grade series touted as “delightfully entertaining” by Publishers Weekly and […]
