New to You (9): Lindsi Reviews..

Welcome to New to You! This idea came along last year when I was supporting Lauren Miller’s newest book All Things New and I asked Kelsey to read and review Parallel, a book I have read more than once. I didn’t really get it going until December when I offered people the chance to sign up to read and review a book that has been a favorite of mine that they have never read. I got a great response and I’m happy to tell you (minus January) you will see a New to You post twice a month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next […]

Book Talk – The Near Mis..

Usually after I read the first book of a series I make my decision if I will continue on and read the next book or if it will be a one and done. If I decide to not continue it’s because I’m either happy with how book 1 ended or I’m not that interested in seeing where it goes. There is really no rhyme or reason why some series I continue and some I don’t. I mean I have read some really bad book ones but they were so bad I wanted to know what would happen so I read […]

Top Ten Tuesday – Author..

I freely admit that I have been pretty lucky when it comes to meeting some of my favorite authors. Rainbow Rowell, Lauren Oliver, Morgan Matson, Miranda Kenneally; I was lucky enough to meet these lovely ladies and get my books signed by them. But there is still that elusive list that I would love to meet some day. I mean I have interacted with almost all of the 10 and have signed books from a few, but the meeting had yet to happen. I wonder what I can bribe them with to come to Boston. 😉 So which authors are […]

Review: Quintana of Charyn ..

Before I go into my review I am going to say if you haven’t read any of the books in this series, 1) go and do that IMMEDIATELY (although admittedly the first was not a favorite of mine) and 2) don’t read this review until you have read the books. With Quintana of Charyn being a 3rd book that picks up after Froi of the Exiles, it is near impossible to have a spoiler free review so therefore you are being warned. Now that that is out of the way I can get to my review. Piece of cake, right?? […]

Review: Froi of the Exiles ..

Words. You defy me words. I can’t even. Between that end, the fact that I loved it, and the fact that I actually read a 600 page book I’m word less. Where do I begin?? Better yet, why do I insist on letting Melina Marchetta get me like this every time??!! Froi of the Exiles in the second book in The Lumatere Chronicles. It picks up 3 years after Finnikin of the Rock. Since living in Lumatere, Froi has been trained how to defend the queen he has a bond with at any cost. He’s become a trained assassin and […]
