Happy New Year, everyone! I know the general consensus is to say “GOOD RIDDANCE” to 2016, but in terms of reading I had a GREAT year. I read so many fantastic books, visited so many awesome blogs and continued to interact with many fellow bloggers. While the world around us falls apart, speculative fiction is […]
Like many others, I won’t be too sad to say goodbye to 2016! I mean, in many respects it was a pretty crappy year. Losing Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds at the very end nearly pushed me over the edge. I also faced some blogging challenges this year. Not only did I have numerous technical […]
The nitty-gritty: Another winning story from Burgis, filled with political schemes, historical intrigue and plenty of secrets. I really enjoyed Burgis’ Masks and Shadows earlier this year, and so I didn’t hesitate at all when I was offered a review copy of Congress of Secrets. Burgis sets her latest in 1814 Vienna, during the famous […]

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 was so excited to spot this cover reveal last week on Facebook, and I immediately knew which book I’d be picking for the last Waiting on Wednesday […]
We’re nearly at the end of the year, so it’s time to look back over the books I read in 2016 and share my favorites with you! I’ve decided against a top ten list this year, because I read way more than ten books that spoke to me in some way, either on an emotional […]
The nitty-gritty: A feast for the eyes, Gemina surpasses Illuminae in both story and format. This is one science fiction series you need to be reading! According to Goodreads, I finished Gemina on December 7th, which was about three weeks ago. Due to life-stuff, I haven’t posted any reviews since then, which I feel terrible […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine (?? Still wondering if anyone knows what happened to Jill. Hope she’s OK), and is a way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I’ve known about this book for a few months, but I just saw the cover for […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where each week we’re given a new top ten list to blog about. So, I’m not following the prompt this week, because I don’t want Santa to bring me ANY books for Christmas, LOL. Most book review bloggers will probably agree with me:-) Instead, […]

Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my most recent book acquisitions with you! I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. So, December is kicking my ass, you guys. I’ve pretty much put reading and blogging on the back burner, as I scramble to […]

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 just requested a review copy of this book, and I believe this cover was just revealed as well: Two sisters, Matty and Elena Bela, who live in […]
