I’m happy to be participating in the Midwinter’s Eve Giveaway Hop, hosted by Bookhounds & I Am a Reader! Don’t forget to check out all the other blogs on the hop below. For my giveaway, since it’s the end of the year and I’ve been sharing my “best of 2014” lists with you, one international […]
It’s that time of year, time to make all sorts of “best of” lists! I love making lists anyway, but when I get to look back over a year’s worth of reading and rave about the books that really stood out for me, that’s got to be my favorite sort of list-making. This week I’m […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a TTT, but this is one week I couldn’t pass up. We’re nearly half-way through the year (can you believe it?) and already I’m having trouble narrowing down my favorite reads of the year up to […]

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and is a fun way to share your book haul with other readers and bloggers! This is my last Stacking the Shelves of 2013, how sad! I usually only do a book haul post once every two weeks, so anything I get from now until the end […]
