Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and is a fun way for bloggers to share the books they’ve acquired over the week. It’s been a little slow here, so I have only two things to share, but I’m excited about both of them: Purchased: Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff. Stormdancer was just released this […]
I’m becoming more and more intrigued by the CW’s “remake” of Beauty and the Beast. I just ran across this video of Jay Ryan, who plays Vincent (the Beast) on the show, talking about how the Beast came to be. First of all, I hadn’t realized they are using the same character names as the […]
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and gives bloggers a chance to highlight the books they are anxiously awaiting. This week I’m waiting for: Joyland by Stephen King. Release date: June 4 2013 (Hard Case Crime). I was so excited to see the cover reveal for this upcoming King book, and also […]
Oops, sorry everyone…I thought I had made this announcement, but I guess I forgot. In any case, the winners of a pot o’ gold, errr, I mean copies of The Messiah Matrix & Realms of Gold are: The Messiah Matrix: Heather Homberg Irene Menge Donna King Realms of Gold: Marjorie Roy Kat Sparrow Jennifer Kelly […]

If anything, it’s the opposite: innocent children are born to monstrous parents. It’s no secret […]
A long time ago, I was completely in love with this TV show: The original Beauty and the Beast debuted in 1987 and ran for three seasons before it ended horribly (in my opinion). But it started out as an amazing show that starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. It was romantic and featured a […]
The concept of Incarnation is brilliant: what if Bram Stoker had written Dracula in order to cover up the fact that vampires actually exist, and the book was created for the sole purpose of throwing off the scrutiny of the public? And what if Lucy Westenra is a real vampire who finds out about the […]
It’s Wednesday, folks! A day to unveil our super-excited-to-read books! Head over to Breaking the Spine to learn how you can participate too. This week I’m super-excited-to-read this: Poison by Bridget Zinn. Release date: March 12 2013 (Disney/Hyperion). Not to put a downer on this blog, but a commenter just informed me that Bridget passed […]
