In order to get myself back in the groove of blogging, I'm here with some recommendations I had written up in a notebook but hadn't gotten around to typing up yet. We all love our books that come in a series because we get to stay with our beloved characters a bit longer. Most series … Continue reading 5 Book Series Recommendations
This month has been terrible for me reading-wise. It's the 25th of the month, and I still haven't finished one book (GASP). So... guess that means my August TBR List was a bust. Oops. If I'm being honest, I'm having a hard time mentally right now. It's like anything I try to do that I … Continue reading August Blues
Though I hadn't read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde before reading this book, I knew I had to right away after reading the author's note that she wanted to stick as close to the original story as she could.

Some young adult books I've gone through in the past sometimes aren't that appropriate for teens... or at least I'd think … Continue reading Where To Find Clean Fiction for Your Teen
The Dark Deception picks up where we left Daphne and Velma, which is to solve a mystery that's going on with their friend Shaggy. He pretty much keeps to himself, but the warning they got from Marcy (the vanished girl in the previous book) has them a bit worried, so they tail him. Then something … Continue reading Review: The Dark Deception (Daphne & Velma #2)
First of all... I failed my book-buying ban for July. I made it so far into the month without buying books, then broke on the 25th. Though, doing the math, I did make it 28 days without buying a book, so that counts... right? I didn't read as much as I thought I would this … Continue reading July Wrap Up
