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
Many books end up being turned into movies simply because of all the hype they generate in their book form, and let's face it, a lot of us love to see our favorite characters come to life. And when our favorite books aren't popular enough to get turned into movies, we cast the "would-be" movie … Continue reading Read or Watch First?
I hate saying that I didn't finish a book, but the thing is, life is just too short to waste time reading a book you're not enjoying. For some people, this is real easy to do. Then there are others - myself included - who feel as though they have to give the book a … Continue reading Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. I
Happy Friday guys! This week actually went by kind of quick for me, and it was a pretty good week. This week's topic is Favorite Side Characters, which I happened to notice was last week's prompt for some of the blogs I follow. Seems like we all think alike... I'm just a little later to … Continue reading Five on Friday: Favorite Side Characters

I didn't like this book as much as I was hoping I would, but I didn't totally hate it either. Louna is somewhat cynical when it comes to relationships, but she has her reasons. Her first real relationship ended tragically, and she works for her mother's wedding planning company, which means she's seen wedding of … Continue reading Once and For All – Review
Friday again! Hope everyone had an enjoyable week after the holiday! This week's topic is Books That Made Me Cry, and when I say this, I mean that "ugly cry." Or in other words, the crying that leaves us a mess. I typically try to avoid these kinds of books because I hate crying that … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess
Mirror, Mirror is a retelling of the classic, Snow White. I have recently become obsessed with fairy-tale retellings and this was the first one I decided to really take a chance on. So the take on this story is what if the Evil Queen had poisoned the prince instead of Snow White? I enjoyed the … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror – Review
August was a pretty decent month for reading. Overall, I read 8 books, of which 2 were rereads. Because of the release of Descendants 3 early on in the month, I quickly became a little obsessed with Descendants fanfiction, which kind of distracted me a bit from reading books and put me into a bit … Continue reading August Haul and Wrap Up
Happy Friday everyone! It's time for another Five on Friday! This week's topic is childhood favorites which works because I've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately. I think it's because of all these reboots happening of my favorite shows. It's just making me miss that time period - the late 90s and early 2000s - … Continue reading Five on Friday: Childhood Favorites

Since I began following other bloggers I've noticed that there are fun little "topic days" that they tend to participate in like Top Ten Tuesday or something similar, which I think is pretty cool because it gives bloggers something sure that they can post every week. Let's face it, besides reviews, it can be hard … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever
1985: Stori3s From SOS contains three short stories/novellas that tie in with the SOS universe. The first story is about Evan Baxter the day before the events in The Silence of Six, which gives us a little more insight to his character. I honestly wish he had an entire prequel novel devoted to him because … Continue reading 1985: Stories from SOS – Review
