Those Exclusive BookExpo America Publisher Parties
If you’re attending BookExpo America, you’ve probably caught wind of some of the exclusive publisher/blogger parties. These special parties are invite only.

The Rules for Breaking by Ashley Elston
I think it was a mistake to turn this into a series. The Rules for Breaking wasn’t terrible, but I don’t think it was a necessary book. It just didn’t feel as exciting or interesting as The Rules for Disappearing. I guess the biggest problem […]

Into the Deep by Samantha Young
If you’re a fan of Samantha Young’s On Dublin Street series, Into the Deep is a must-read! It’s just as hot, romantic, and captivating as the On Dublin Street series, but it’s still different and has its own unique story. My favourite thing about Into […]

Why I Hate Relying on Third Party Plugins
Third party plugins break! I’d been using a plugin called MyMail for a year now to send out my email newsletter about new posts and everything was peachy. Then I update to WordPress 3.9 and it breaks… while I’m in Boston with family (the worst […]
