What makes me follow a blog? 1. The design. I’m ashamed to admit that this is my number one thing. If I’m attracted to the design, I’m probably going to follow no matter what the content is. I’m a shallow creature, what can I say? I like simple, clean designs with very minimal sidebars. 2. Same tastes in books. If a blogger reads almost all of the same books I do, I’m more likely to follow. If they read […]
I really enjoyed The Archived, and after hearing many good things about this one, I was sure I’d love it. And for once, I was right! This story is not rainbows and unicorns. It was dark and rather twisted, and I think that’s why I liked it so much! One of my favorite things about this book is the broken timeline. It jumps back and forth between the past and the present, sometimes sporadically. But, it was never confusing. Victoria Schwab […]
Ever since I was about 6 years old, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I never had another career in mind. In 2007 I got my foot in the door at a veterinary clinic, intending to spend 6-9 months in the kennel then move up to a Veterinary Assistant. Nearly 7 years later, I’m still in the kennel. Why?

This story was so twisted! Which usually I would like, but I couldn’t bring myself to care about Selene. I didn’t really like her much, either.

I feel like things were rushed, but that was probably only because this is such a short novella. I do like that […]
It was very interesting to see things from Ben’s POV! I loved him already, but being in his head made me love him even more. At just about every significant moment in my life, she was there. Whether she knew it or not. The way Ben sees Janelle was incredible. He’s actually quite obsessed with her, but for some reason it was endearing rather than creepy. He changes his schedule so he can be in class with her, stands up […]
I don’t usually do promo posts, but I really enjoyed Avalon (as well as The Nightmare Affair) and can’t wait for Proxy! Proxy (Avalon #0.5) by Mindee ArnettPublished by Balzer + Bray (12.3.2013)Buy from: AmazonAdd to Goodreads Proxy is an action-packed introduction to a world like nothing readers have seen before, and it sets a spark to the powder keg that will explode in Mindee Arnett’s sci-fi thriller Avalon. If you need something stolen from any star system in the Confederation, […]
