I was just musing to myself that there are an INSANE amount of novellas for series I’ve read or want to read, and that I had only read a very small amount of them (as in, maybe 3 out of 30). I found myself wishing there was a way to remedy that. What better way than a challenge?! Because surely I can’t be the only one who needs to catch up on the massive list of novellas! The goal: Read […]
I started this feature in order to know your fellow bloggers a little better! If you are interested in being featured please fill out the form. Meet Leanne! Hi Jessi! I’m going to steal a little bit of the info from my blog, to make this whole introduction part easier. I’m a 33 year old pastry chef living in New Orleans (originally from just across the border in Mississippi). I’ve had a few stints living elsewhere (Alabama, Ohio, Nebraska) but always […]
I did not like The Goddess Test at all, so even though this sounded interesting I didn’t go in with high hopes. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Aimee’s writing has come a long way!

I’m not going to go into detail about what made me want to talk about this topic, because I don’t want to open up that can of worms and stir up drama. This post is not directed at a particular incident, but rather inspired by it. Because let’s face it, this has happened many, many times. So called ‘negative’ reviews If you publish a book, you are knowingly putting it out there for criticism. That’s the risk you take, period. […]
I absolutely LOVED Hemlock (I gave it 5 stars!), and have been jonesing for the sequel for months and months. But for some reason, it just didn’t have the magic that the first book had for me. It was still good, but I was disappointed in some small way with it. My main problem was that I couldn’t connect (seems to be the theme these days, doesn’t it?) as well as I did with Hemlock. I enjoyed the story, but I wasn’t invested […]
