Thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting Waiting on Wednesday, where you can share future book releases that you are waiting for with other bloggers. My choice this week comes out in just a couple of weeks, so there isn’t too long to wait this time! The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. Release date: August […]
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 […]
Ray Mileur asked me to read and review The Gateway to Hell soon after I had expressed my general disdain for independently published books. I thought it took a lot of guts to do that, and after I decided to indeed read and review his book, it didn’t surprise me to find out that Ray […]

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and is a way to share the books that you’ve acquired during the past week. This week I tried to cut back in the book-buying department (always so hard for me!), but I also went after an ARC copy of a book that I really want to […]
It’s official. I am a Dexter fanatic. Well, I have been for a while, but lately Showtime has been running past seasons of the show to gear up for Season 7, which premiers in September, and my fanaticism is in high gear at the moment. As I watch these past episodes, I am reminded of […]
They say “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and sometimes I agree with that and sometimes I don’t. In the case of Auraria, however, I’m begging you to not judge it by the cover. When I was first asked to review Tim Westover’s latest, I was left a little flat by its nondescript gray […]
