An unexpected avalanche leaves one of their own missing, another injured, and it's up … Continue reading Review: Avalanche
The Cellar has been on my radar for a while, since one of my coworkers told me about it. She let me borrow her copy and I finally got around to reading it.

Favorite authors. That's always a fun topic. We all have them, and for our own reasons. Usually it's because we always like their books, but sometimes it can be because we like them as human beings or their writing style. It could also be that we know them on a personal level too, though that's … Continue reading 7 Authors That I Love
This is one of those books that I regret not reading as soon as I bought it. It's literally been sitting on my bookshelf for four years, waiting for me to pick it up. Well, I finally did... and the book is amazing! The story, the characters, all of it. It's one of those books … Continue reading Review: Our Chemical Hearts
August, to put it simply... was a bust. For the entire 31 days of the month I managed to read one book. ONE. BOOK. I know it's nothing to be ashamed of, it just kind of shocks me that I wasn't able to pull out of my reading slump as quickly as usual. And to … Continue reading August Wrap Up
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. Ross takes this classic tale and spins it with her own flair … Continue reading Review: Jek/Hyde
The tale of Alex and Eliza is written so beautifully by Melissa de la Cruz, that it seems too good to be based on real people. Of course, I had to remind myself at times that this was not an exact account of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler's early relationship, but if you told me … Continue reading Review: Alex & Eliza
As readers, we always prefer the books over the movie. However, that doesn't mean we don't like to see our favorite characters and stories come to life on the big screen (or our TVs/laptops). I have to say that I can't really complain about a lot of the movies I've seen that were based off … Continue reading Books I’d Love to See as Films
One thing that I know is that some parents want their kids/teens to read clean fiction. It's sometimes a request I get at work when parents are trying to find books for their teens. 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
I don't normally like to make monthly TBR lists because I am the moodiest reader that I know. However, there are some books that I know I really want to read sooner than later, so I thought maybe making a (tentative) short list of books I want to read this coming month and crossing them … Continue reading My Potential August TBR
Remy doesn't believe in love, and if she's learned anything from her mother's past five marriages, she's better off without it. It never works out, right? She even has a method for dating, which is to not keep a boyfriend for too long, and just so she doesn't string them along, she gives it to … Continue reading Review: This Lullaby
Warning before you read, this review contains major spoilers! I'm a sucker for love triangles, though I usually tend to dislike one of the people caught in said triangle, that wasn't the case for this book. I adored both Chase and Brandon from the start, even tough Chase is the type of guy I would … Continue reading Review: Taking Chances
