I realized recently that it’s been a LONG time since I’ve listened to an audiobook. And it makes me sad! I love audiobooks, for two reasons: They allow you to read in situations where you may not otherwise be able to read; i.e. driving, or doing something with your hands (I listen while I craft sometimes!) When the narrators are really good, it adds even more to the story! Actually, there’s been a few times where I probably wouldn’t have […]
I was super excited for this book! After reading Paige’s short story in Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, I was dying to read something else by her. I’d heard great things about this one, and it sounded like it was right up my alley. In a way, it was. But sadly I found myself a bit disappointed, somehow. I loved how twisted and disturbing this world was, and I like the twist Paige put on all of the old characters. Paige […]

Sign up for Bout of Books 17 HERE I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS YOU GUYS. I’m going to admit, I’m pretty behind on ARC August. Yay procrastination!

The last readathon I did was #makemereadit and I managed to read just over 1,500 pages. So, I’m going to aim for that again! Goals Finish current reads […]
Oh how I love anything and everything Julie writes! I have yet to find something of hers that I didn’t like, and I’m pretty sure that will never happen. IT’S JUST NOT POSSIBLE. I have to say, this series just keeps getting better and better! I love Ember’s story and the world that Julie has created. I mean, can you go wrong with dragons?! “Then, as you Americans say, the shit is about to hit the fan.” I loved Jade! […]
**SPOILER FREE*** As I mentioned in this past week’s Heartbeat Weekly, we finally got internet. On Saturday I was perusing Netflix and stumbled on the Stranger Things, which looked intriguing. I watched the intro of the first episode, and I was hooked! I stopped it and waited for Aaron to get home so that we could watch it together. And you know what? We binge watched THE WHOLE DAMN THING. IN ONE NIGHT. Seriously, we were up until 3 am […]
