Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I loved Rosamund Hodge’s Cruel Beauty, and it looks like she’s continuing her trend of story retellings. This time she’s tackling Romeo and Juliet: When the mysterious fog […]
The calendar says it’s April, but here in Southern California it feels more like high summer! It’s been in the 90’s lately, and I’m definitely not ready for this kind of weather yet.

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Today we’re listing the books we’re most excited to read this Spring, and as is my way, I am defining “Spring” as the months of March, April and May. That means, these are the books I am most looking forward to that […]
Last week I listed my Top Ten Adult Books of 2014, and this week it’s time to celebrate my favorite Young Adult Books of the year! For some reason, I didn’t read as many YA books in 2014, so this list was easier to narrow down to ten favorites. However, each book on this list satisfied […]

Last month I posted eight reviews here on the blog, and so this month I’m giving you a chance to win one of those books. I had an awesome month, I think, with three five-star and two four-and-a-half star reviews. So in my opinion you have lots of great choices! My favorites of the month: […]

Happy 2014 everyone! I love starting the new year, and even if I don’t end it accomplishing everything I set out to do, I love that feeling of hope on January 1st each year, the feeling of possibility, that anything can happen this year. It’s what keeps me going, and I imagine I’m not alone […]
It’s another fun Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week I’m specifically highlighting my most anticipated releases for winter, which for me means books releasing in December, January or February. I hate repeating myself, so this is a completely different list from last week, which was my Top Ten Most […]
