The Author Auto-Buy List

Yes, I have a list, albeit it’s in my head, but I have a list of the authors that I would buy their books without even knowing what the book is about. All I have to see is their name and I’m ion immediate want of said book. And really that list is a complete testament to them and their style of writing and the AMAZING books they have given me in the past. So since May is a huge book release month and some of these authors have books coming out in May if not some point this year, […]

Review: The Book of Broken Hea..

Straight up I’m a major, major, major Sarah Ockler fan. She is one of my auto-buy authors so I truly don’t think she could do any wrong in my eyes. But I will admit when I started The Book of Broken Hearts I was nervous. I was really nervous because I wasn’t sure I liked Jude or how the story jumped in and sort of seemed rushed. But then I kept reading and reading and reading. And I can happily report that I really loved the story. It was definitely a different kind of Ockler read I thought, but it […]

Monopoly Money Monday and a Vo..

Welcome to another installment of Monopoly Money Monday. This Monday I am going to spend my fake $100.00(okay, a tad over) on books. Well Pre-Order books from Amazon that is. It’s funny because you would think it would be easy to buy 100 bucks worth of books but it’s actually really hard. Not hard to pick out the books, but to narrow it down to just $100. But after much struggle I narrowed it down to 9 books** that come out over the next couple of months. Now under no circumstance is this list in any order or the only […]
