The nitty-gritty: A laugh-out loud skewering of the fast-food industry, filled with funny dialog and memorable characters. I have to admit, when I first saw the cover for Envy of Angels, I immediately filed it in the “I hate the cover so I don’t want to read this book” compartment of my brain. Typically I […]
I just love typing “2016”! Starting a new year is the best, because it feels like a fresh start. I have to admit I’ve had some blogger ennui lately, and for the past couple of months I’ve had trouble finding that spark of excitement that has propelled me to keep this blog going for the […]
I’ve learned over the past few years that reading challenges, in general, just aren’t my thing. Like many readers, I tend to forget about them a few months into the year, and so I’ve mostly given up on them. EXCEPT for two. The first is, of course, Goodreads. Say what you will about being stressed […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to highlight upcoming books we’re excited about. This is the last WoW of 2015! Hard to believe this year is just about over. I’m very excited for this week’s pick, since I loved the first book in the series. In fact, […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where each week bloggers are given a new top ten theme. I love looking back and celebrating my favorite books of the year, but it’s so much fun to look ahead as well! This week we’re listing our top ten most anticipated books of […]
The nitty-gritty: A nail-biting, realistic portrayal of one of American history’s most influential events, the California Gold Rush, told by a girl with a talent for finding gold. I had seen so many glowing reviews of Walk on Earth a Stranger, that I knew I just had to fit this in before the end of […]
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 don’t know what’s up with all the amazing-sounding YA fantasy and science fiction titles coming out in 2016, but I swear 2016 is going to be the […]
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 very short but powerful story about a girl leaving home for the first time, with a strong theme of dealing with prejudice, but a little too short, in my opinion, to fully develop that theme. This is the second work of fiction that I’ve read by Nnedi Okorafor, and I have to […]

I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Although I’ve mostly slowed down with requesting books, a few have come my way in the last two weeks, […]
