Backlog Review: Slammed –..

Talk about a disappointment. I’m honestly bummed that Slammed turned out the way it did for me. When I first started it I was really into it. Loved the idea, was mildly shocked by some of the events that unfolded and really loved not only the dynamic between Layken and Will, but the family relationship between Layken, her mom and her little brother. But the further I read the more muddled I found the book becoming and the more my frustration went up. And by the end I was sadly happy I was done reading what was once so promising. […]

Blog Tour: For This Life Only ..

Welcome top my stop on Stacey Kade’s blog tour for For This Life Only. Stacey was kind enough to do a Top 10 post and is doing it on her Top Ten Favorite TV Characters. Without further ado: Oh my. *rubs hands together in glee* This is going to be fun! Or extremely difficult given how much TV I watch! 😀 Disclaimer: These aren’t in top ten order. They’re just my ten favorites. Ryan Atwood (The O.C.) I have watched the pilot of this show so many times. And the scene where Sandy helps Ryan with his tie makes me […]

Blog Tour Review: Swept Away &..

The amazing thing about a Michelle Dalton book is the ability it has to put you right in a beach side town in summer. Since reading her first book, Sixteenth Summer, she has managed to transport me to warm summer days on a beach, Cape Cod for me, and made me remember what it was like in the summer when I was younger. She has done it with every book of hers so far and Swept Away wasn’t any different. Swept Away is the story of Mandy, a girl living in a small town in Coastal Maine. Mandy is […]

Second Chance Sunday – A..

Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour wasn’t what I expected at all. Going into it I assumed it was going to be a funny, cutesy light story about road trip high jinx. Instead I found a funny, at times, cutesy, story with a lot of depth and heart. The passing of Amy’s father really did a number on her. She was isolated and alone and had turned herself off from the world. She felt a lot of guilt over the accident that took her father from her and she had a lot of fears from that as well. When Roger was […]
