Hello loverlies! We’re at the end of the tenth month – only two months left! How is everyone doing?! I’m going to make a confession: I’m doing awful. Right now I’m at 16/30. With two months to read 14 books. Not good at all! I doubt at this point I will make it to my goal, but I’m sure as hell going to try! I didn’t read any sequels this month because of Horror October. But next month it’s […]

Todays topic: The horror genre in books! As I said in my discussion about horror in film: I loooove horror. I love creepy, dark stories. BUT…I am very picky. I do not scare easily at all, and I find 95% of the horror out there comedic rather than scary. I also don’t have a weak stomach. The gorier, the better!

The idea behind Insomnia was fantastic, really. Being able to see the dreams of the last person you made eye contact with? Such an interesting concept! But I felt totally ‘meh’ through the whole book. I just couldn’t connect with the story at all. Or our main character, Parker. (I already […]
Sadly, I didn’t get any books this week. BUT I did get my new business cards!! I designed them myself and ordered them through MOO. They were packaged very neatly and came with this awesome little carrying case! It’s very sleek and sturdy, and has ‘mine’ and ‘theirs’ tabs to hold all my business cards in! I’m VERY happy with my order! Name Change & Giveaway 2 Year Blogiversary: A year in review Goals & Changes Review: […]
Perhaps I doomed myself by going into this book with sky high hopes. And perhaps I deserve it because even after seeing some not-so-great reviews, my shallow nature wouldn’t let me walk away from the beautiful, beautiful cover. (Damn you, beautiful cover, damn you.) But my goodness, I was highly disappointed in this book! First of all, WHERE IS THE GOTHIC NOVEL I WAS PROMISED?!?! This was supposed to be a horror! This book is NOT a horror. It is […]
