Review: Shatter Me – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Shatter Me – Tah..

I had zero intentions to read this book originally. It just didn’t seem like something that would interest me. Well, I don’t know if you have noticed, but I have been challenging myself to read stuff outside of my normal reading comfort zone.  Since that’s the case when this was offered by Epic Reads(Harper Teen) as a 68-hour free read online only, I jumped on it. My conclusion: I’m an idiot for passing in the first place. This book was fantastic and addicting and mesmerizing! Shatter Me is about Juliette, a girl that has been locked away in isolation for […]

Second Chance Sunday – What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton

Second Chance Sunday – W..

This week’s Second Chance Sunday review is for What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton. To say I loved this book would be a massive understatement. I have since lent it to 3 or 4 people who have also loved it. Figured it need a second review go around.   Confession time: When I read the description of What Happens Next my mind never connected the situation Sid got into on the ski trip with sexual assault. Honestly my mind went to some weird mystical thing because of the missing lock of hair. I have no idea why, but it did. […]

Book Lover Clutches

Book Lover Clutches

Book Lover Clutches by andiabcs featuring kate spade   A friend sent me a link for these and I couldn’t pass up sharing them with my book loving readers. They are pricey, but so adorable. I’m telling you if they had a Catcher in the Rye or Anna and the French Kiss one that baby would be hard to pass up. Would you ever wear a book clutch?

Book and Book Mark Swap

Book and Book Mark Swap

In January I signed up for TMT’s 2013 Bookmark/Book Swaps held by Jen and Kellee. Each person was required to sign up by a certain date and send your book out by a certain date. The theme of the swap was to send your favorite book or a book you think everyone should read in the Children’s Literature and Young Adult age range. You could send anything from a graphic novel to a picture book to a novel. And if anyone knows me you know that I mostly read YA exclusively so this was just about the perfect challenge for […]

Review: The Iron King – Julie Kagawa

Review: The Iron King – ..

So you may have noticed if you look at my current reading choices that I am reading things outside of my normal comfort zone. Graceling, Shatter Me and now The Iron King are all books I would never normally read. It started with Graceling and has since become my own personal challenge. Every month I am reading a book that I wouldn’t normally gravitate to. For February that book was The Iron King and what a great choice it was. A friend suggested I read it for this “challenge” and I took her up on it. At times I felt […]
