In the past, my daily activity has always been very… scattered. I honestly wasn’t getting that much work done and spent way too much time flipping between Twitter and Facebook. Here’s how things have changed in the last few months: 1) No more browsing Twitter […]
If You Loved Illuminae, Read Defy the Stars Next!
I kind of got Defy the Stars on a whim. I got one of those emails from NetGalley that was all like, “READ NOW for the first 500 members!” Those emails always make me panic. Normally, before I get anything from NetGalley I put it […]
Review: Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett
Alex, Approximately was the perfect blend of fun/fluff and intensity. On the fluff side, it was a super fun and sweet summer romance filled with awkward maybe-dating, summer jobs, and new best friends. But on the intense side, there were unresolved fears/traumas, trust issues, and […]
Review: Gauntlet by Holly Jennings (Arena #2)
HOT DAMN! Gauntlet owned even harder than Arena! I liked Arena but had a few issues with it. I didn’t love Kali’s spiral into chaos, which was a big part of the book. But Gauntlet was peeerfect. It was all the awesome bits of Arena, […]
Bloglovin’ is Now Stealing Your Posts
I’ve never been a huge fan of Bloglovin’. I never liked their interface and preferred Feedly instead. But now I don’t just dislike them, I’m pissed. I guess the first major incident was when they made it so clicking on a post opened the post […]
Review: Royally Roma by Teri Wilson
You have no idea how much I wanted to (and almost could have) love this book. The premise—girl meets prince and doesn’t know he’s a prince—is PERFECT. Add in Rome and it’s beyond perfect. But sadly the book didn’t quite work up to my hopes. […]
Review: Blood Rose Rebellion by Rosalyn Eves
What I liked: Very cool setting! It starts in London and moves to Hungary. Plus we see a few other places along the way (Austria). It was really interesting how magic was intertwined with the class system. The rich get magic, the poor do not. […]
Addicted to Space Travel Books
I have been on one hell of a science fiction binge lately and it all started with Illuminae. I’ve actually had an ARC of Illuminae sitting around since BookExpo America 2015. I just never read it. I think I was intimidated by two things: The […]
I Didn’t Love Hunted – It Was Weird :(
Hunted was the first 2017 book I read, and not liking it was hugely disappointing. 🙁 Not for me This was solidly a case of “not for me”. I don’t think Hunted was objectively bad, and I’m not going to tell anyone to avoid it. […]
A Romance That Takes Place in Tokyo! (Review: Seven Days of You)
Seven Days of You was… okay. To be honest, I think Tokyo was my favourite part about it. The setting added something extra to the book, and I think without that unique element it would have gotten a lower rating from me. The very nature […]
