Welcome to my (usually) monthly giveaway! I love to share the books I love with other people, and each month one winner will get to pick one of the books I reviewed the previous month. First, please congratulate my November winner: Kristia M. selected The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson Due to my […]
Last week I revealed my Top Ten Adult Speculative Fiction titles of 2015, and today I’m focusing on young adult books! This was a tough year for me personally, when it came to YA. In fact, I actually struggled a bit to come up with ten books that deserved to be on this list. Yes, […]
The nitty-gritty: A cleverly constructed story that blends contemporary and fantasy YA fiction in a completely new way. There’s so much crazy in this world, my counting and hand-washing and door-locking and checking and tapping can seem like raging mental health by comparison. Jared’s crazy is way crazier than mine, though I don’t think his […]
What’s On My Plate is my monthly post where I outline all my plans for the coming month. It’s a way to try to keep myself on track with review books, and it gives me a snapshot of upcoming books to look forward to. I can hardly believe the year is nearly over! And things […]
Happy Fall, everyone! Unfortunately for those of us in California (and no doubt other western states), Fall has yet to make an appearance. A quick check of the temps this week shows highs in the 90s! All I want is to be able to wear jeans and a hoodie, I mean really, is that too […]
It’s August, folks! Where the heck did July go?? August means back-to-school, so life is about to get crazy again (like it ever stopped!). I thought July was an epic month for new spec fiction releases, but August has it beat by a mile! My “to read” pile this month is Out. of. Control. It’s […]

Welcome to Over-Booked, my twice-monthly book haul post. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Check out their links and you can see other book hauls! I’ve had another two-week period of a more-than-usual influx of new books, and I’m not complaining […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! I love this week’s theme, because I seem to have found some new-to-me authors in recent months, and I can’t wait to read more of their books. I am only listing authors that already have more than one book published, not debut authors. So […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where you can join in the fun of coming up with your own Top Ten List every week! This week’s theme is perfect for Halloween: Top Ten Scariest Book Covers. This is a hard theme to narrow down to ten choices, but here’s what […]
“The monster showed up just after midnight. As they do.” I read A Monster Calls and Brian Selznick’s Wonderstruck back-to-back, and they seemed eerily similar in more ways than one. My original plan was to review them together, but after writing my review for Wonderstruck, I realized that although A Monster Calls is also a […]
