My excitement for The Thousandth Floor went like this: Receive the book at BEA16 and go, “Holy shit this sounds AMAZING!” After a few months, see that it largely gets 3 stars from my Goodreads friends, and go, “Well fuck. Maybe I won’t read it.” […]

738 Days – 432 Pages of Pure, Emotional Awesome
738 Days is the kind of book that rips your world apart and slowly tries to put the pieces back together. Kind of like The Sea of Tranquility. In hindsight, it TOTALLY has that same vibe and the power to completely own you. Here’s what […]
Let’s Stop Letting Drama Bring Us Down
Drama sucks. You can’t always put a stop to it, but there’s something that I’ve noticed in the book blogging community that I DO think we can put a stop to, and that’s how we react to drama. Here’s a trend that I’ve seen: Something […]
Review: Amour Amour by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie
I actually started out liking Amour Amour. I read through the first ~20% really quickly and I enjoyed it. The circus and gymnastic aspect was really interesting! It was different than anything I’d read before and I was really excited for more. Then, when the […]

Review: Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire

Review: Breakable by Tammara Webber
I stopped reading at 23% I bought Breakable thinking it would be a “sure thing”… you know, a guaranteed 5-star book. I ADORED Easy so combining that with the fact that Breakable is loaded with 5 star reviews, I thought this was a slam dunk. […]
#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 […]
