I mentioned a couple of times these past few weeks that I wanted to start moving forward with the blog. After the Reader Feedback Survey results, I’ve gathered a lot of insight about what my readers think and have added that to my own plans. My main goal going into this next year is more interaction. I feel like in my first year of blogging I got out into the community and visited WAY more blogs than I have this […]
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years! It hardly seems like I’ve been blogging that long, to tell you the truth. I’m so proud to be a part of this lovely community, and I’m grateful for all the bookish friends I’ve made! I’ve experienced so much in 2 short years and have evolved as a blogger. I feel like this blog has come a long way! My blog has had MANY design changes. I tend to get bored with the […]

Thank you SO much to all that participated in this survey! It really means a lot! I am very excited to share these results with all of you. I got a lot of insight and some great input! A few of the things I knew I needed to work on, but there were things on there that surprised me. I’m going to be honest, some of it was disheartening. Looking over the results, I feel like no matter what I […]
This book was very tough to rate for me. I had extremely bipolar thoughts about this book, and the rating should be broken down as such: Scenes with the Anthropophagi Scenes without the Anthropophagi It’s no secret that I am NOT a fan of historical by any means, and I had no clue going into this that it would be historical (I saw Rick Yancey + gruesome horror and didn’t bother to read anymore).
