Books come to us in all formats. There's the traditional print in both hardcover and paperback, ebooks, and audiobooks. It's most likely that we have used all formats, either because we could only get a book in a specific format or we just wanted to try it out. Or maybe a certain format will only … Continue reading Book Formats: Pros and Cons
This was a pretty slow reading month. Partly due to the fact that most books I tried reading I couldn't get into, but also because I was a participant in NaNoWriMo this year for the first time. While I won that, I didn't exactly win at reading. I guess I was just more caught up … Continue reading November Wrap Up

For the most part, Fangirl was a book I enjoyed reading because I found a lot of myself in Cath. I'm very introverted, don't do well meeting new people, can't stand parties, and aspire to do well in school/work. Cath is much happier reading and writing her fanfiction for the Simon Snow series, which is … Continue reading Fangirl – Review
Afterimage is a book that is going to stay with me for sure! The night I finished it, I actually had dreams that related to some of the elements in the story (which I'm not going to detail because spoilers). I was hooked right from the start because Hughes wastes no time getting right into … Continue reading Afterimage – Review

Soon the two … Continue reading The Distance Between Us – Review
