I hate giving bad reviews on this blog, and I try my best to only read things that I know have a chance of getting four- or five-star reviews. But once in a while it’s inevitable that I come across a book that isn’t quite there. Shadows of the Past suffers from the same malady […]
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and is a great way for bloggers to share the books we’ve received during the week. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had anything to share, but suddenly I have a huge pile that I need to dive into! I recently started using […]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and every week they come up with a new Top Ten theme. This week’s theme is pretty cool! To come up with list, I simply thought back to the books I’ve read that gave me a tingly feeling that I only get when I’ve […]
