Review: A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

My feelings about this were so hot and cold that I felt the need to make an infographic for it: My hate is stronger than the dimensions, stronger than memory, stronger than time. My hate is now the truest part of who I am. I was SO onboard with this story in the beginning. The prologue blew me away and completely grabbed my attention. Then we enter a futuristic feeling, technologically advanced London. And it was AWESOME! I loved the world, […]

Since Melissa and I are doing the 2014 Prequel & Sequel Challenge together, […]

Wow, this story was delightfully twisted! I noticed going in that this book had some pretty low ratings on Goodreads, which had me worried. In the beginning I wasn’t sure I even wanted to read it, because it’s pretty freaking weird and confusing and I had no idea what the hell was going on. But, as the story went on, I started to get a feel for the creepy isolated town and what was happening there. And I loved it! This book […]

Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Origin of your name This week’s topic: Halloween I’ve always loved Halloween. I love horror and scary things! Growing up, it was always tradition to go out trick-or-treating with my parents. There was always a big event at my campground where everyone sat on the tables with candy and the kids would go through the tables. It was awesome! I really, really miss trick-or-treating. I loved it so much that […]
