A HUGE thank you to St. Martin’s Press for sending me an early copy of the book! “Sunset waits for no saint, and the Dead run quick.”   I. JUST. WOW, YA’LL. I daresay Damned was even better than Empire. This book rocked my fuckin’ socks off! Something I adore about Jay Kristoff is that he is a PRO at middle books. No second book syndrome here! (Actually, I think the second book has been my favorite in all of his trilogies!) […]

Audiobook Review: Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

I think it’s time for me to come to terms with the fact that Stephanie Garber is not for me. Caraval was just okay for me – pretty meh, but not bad – and I outright hated Legendary. I got tricked by the hype monster yet again, because this spin off series is WILDLY popular. So, I went in with rather high hopes. Why can’t I just like the stuff that everyone else likes?! It seems like every time there’s […]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Happy (early) Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day! Today’s TTT is a love freebie, and anyone who knows me at all knows I don’t really care for romance in books. There are a few that I love, but they have to be done just a certain way for me to enjoy them. So, for those who are like me and would rather have plot over romance, I wanted to share some […]

Wow, I did not expect to love this book so much! I am not a non-fiction reader. I can count the number of non-fic books I’ve read in my entire life on one hand. In fact, I even know exactly which ones they are – Half Assed by Jeanette Fulda and Cultish by Amanda Montell. I did read a short self help book maybe a year ago, but I don’t even remember the name of it because it wasn’t very […]

Full disclosure: I almost didn’t read this. The first time I picked it up I was bored out of my mind with the politics and I DNFed it. It took me years, but I finally decided to give it another shot! I think listening to the audio really helped, honestly. It was much easier to get through this time around! It was still pretty slow in the beginning, but the last half really picked up. And THAT ENDING!!! I never knew […]
