Okay, how many times have I said, “Ohh I need to read this so bad!” and I put it off….and put it off….and a year passes and I STILL haven’t read it. So this challenge is perfect! *Books must be published BEFORE January 1, 2014. My goal: 20 books Instead of taking the time to list all the books I’d like to read, I just made a Goodreads shelf for the challenge. Books read: Review: Angelfall by Susan Ee Review: […]
Hosted by Two Chicks on Books *ONLY books released in 2013 1. Parasite by Mira GrantThis cover is so simple but it’s one of my favorite covers, ever. 1) it’s red, of course I’m going to love it and 2) I love that it actually looks like a pill packet, with one removed.

Top Ten Books read in 2013: Top 5 Dystopian: Top 5 High Fantasy: Top 5 Urban Fantasy: Top 5 Science Fiction: Here is where I usually do a breakdown by creatures: Best werewolf book, best vampires, mermaids, zombies. But this year, I have a little problem. I have barely read anything with any of those paranormal beings! It’s quite sad, actually. The only werewolf book I read was Thornhill (it was okay). The only vampire book I read was […]
The New Adult craze The New Adult genre has certainly exploded in the past year or two with authors like Colleen Hoover and Jamie McGuire. So many people have enjoyed these books, but I have to ask: Am I the only person who isn’t into the New Adult craze? My feeling about the genre in general is just “meh.” Not that I have a problem with it at all, it’s just…not for me. When I hear the term New Adult, […]
