ALAMW 2018 – Part II (The Con)

So I know I've been crazy busy lately - if you aren't on Twitter then you don't know I was in a panicked flurry, trying to get all my books put away. They were mostly in stacks all over the house, but my mom was getting a refinance and I had to clean them up. …

I have had the ARC for this book ever since I went to ALA, and I have been excited to read it since. It is on my most anticipated reads...and now it has come out (it was released November 7!) and I need to read it ASAP! The covers may differ from my ARC and …

Black Bird of the Gallows – Excerpt and Giveaway!!

So I love Entangled Teen and have been a fan of a lot of their books.  Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel is a beautiful book - you know me and my cover obsession. And they reached out to me and offered me a chance to review it!  I'm totally noticing a theme …

November 1st: Let’s Do This!!

So the end of October came, along with Halloween, my least favorite holiday... What? How can I dislike Halloween, you ask? Well, I can't trick-or-treat because I'm too old, and when I dress up I usually have nowhere to go. This Halloween, I had my back upper left tooth removed; it SUCKED. So I'm happy …

These titles make me feel like I've finally made it in the book blogging community, as some of these are coming out from …

Wishes Do Come True…

Have you ever seen a book on NetGalley and thought...oh, that's the book I want to read...and then you click on the link, and you see this message: "This book is not currently available to request." And then there's a little icon that says, "Wish for it." And you click it, but you know nothing …
