A lot of people seem unhappy with the BookExpo America Bloggers Conference every year. I think the problem is that many of the topics are too basic and don’t dig deep enough into new/detailed content that bloggers care about. I’ve put together a selection of […]
Free to Fall by Lauren Miller
Holy mother conspiracy! Free to Fall was riddled with secrets, societies, plots, world domination! It was INSANE! Every time we uncovered one layer of the plot, we learned about something else—a totally new layer. It just kept building and building and building until it was […]
Fan Art by Sarah Tregay
Fan Art was adorable! Even though I’ve never been in his situation, I totally connected with Jamie! He’s ‘out’ to his parents, but can’t come out to Mason because he’s afraid that it will change their friendship (for the worse). I completely understood his reasons […]
What’s Better for a Brand: Short & Sweet or Keyword Rich?
Hi Ashley – thanks for your content. It has been really helpful to me in trying to decide how to position my blog name. I have a bit of a dilemma as I will be the brand. I am a soon-to-be-author, hope to do some […]

Tiger’s Promise by Colleen Houck

#scandal by Sarah Ockler
I thought this was going to be an awesome book for me. A gamer girl, social media, hackers, scandals, a little Nancy Drew, and a romance! OHMYGOD those are all Ashley things and you might as well put a ribbon on this book and send […]
My Schedule for BookExpo America 2014
Hi everyone! BookExpo America is ALMOST here! Squee!! Today I thought I’d share my schedule with everyone! This was compiled from the official BookExpo America entries and a master spreadsheet I got from an awesome Goodreads user. I’ve entered all the books/authors I’m interested in […]
Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson
The thing that prevented Prejudice Meets Pride from being a 4-star (or higher) read was Emma. For 90% of the book, Emma was soooo annoying! …but only around Kevin. Around everyone else, she was fine. But for some reason she was a total, annoying bitch […]
