Infinityglass was a cute conclusion to the Hourlass series! While I feel like the magic of the series fizzled out somewhat as it progressed (it’s just not the same without Emerson and Michael!), I’m happy with the way it ended and would still recommend this series to any fan of sci-fi or time travel. I must confess I didn’t like Hallie much at all in the beginning. She was one of those girls. You know, the kind that wear skanky things […]

I’ve been brewing this idea for several weeks, and I’m excited to finally launch it! What is it? It’s a weekly feature. Each week I will choose a subject and talk about that subject in my life. The topics will be non-bookish so that you can get to know me on a more personal level! I definitely encourage you guys to participate, too. I want this to be meme style with a linky for you to add your posts to. […]

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).

The goal: Read […]

Review: Pawn by Aimee Carter

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 loved the idea of this book. I thought it was fascinating how people had to take a test at 17 years of age to determine how their life would be. They were marked by a number I – VII; the higher the number, the higher your […]
