Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. This is the ONE book that I would have sold my firstborn for. I am absolutely dying to read it!! I’ve been doing anything I can to get my hands on a copy (begging shamelessly), and was never able to. Now that it’s out it’s killing me! I pre-ordered a signed copy so now I have to wait for it to arrive T.T The Shadow Hour by Melissa Grey. The Girl […]
I think this book had fabulous potential. The idea of it all was epic – in the future, books and reading are forbidden. How scary is that? I think Ashley Mansour was really onto something great here, because it speaks to the heart of every single one of us readers. A world without books is the worst kind of world we could possibly imagine! The concept really was brilliant. But there were a lot of issues I had with it that […]
Bookish goals and resolutions Read 100 books. This was my goal for 2015, but I didn’t quite make it. I was close though – 96 books! I’m hoping this year I can break into triple digits. Participate in at least two readathons. This shouldn’t be too hard – Bout of Books and Beat the Heat! Catch up on review copies. For a while there, I was crazy swamped with review copies. I’ve been doing great lately, though! My NetGalley ratio […]
I really enjoyed the Reading Bingo Challenge I did in 2015, so I decided to make my own Bingo Challenge for 2016! I made it completely from scratch, but I modeled it after the gorgeous reading bingo card from Random House’s website because I love theirs but wanted one of my own. (Okay, so it’s not as professional looking and epic as theirs is…but I tried.) It was a lot of fun to make and it’s definitely something I’d be […]
I don’t usually do things like this, but it looked so fun that I couldn’t help myself! I may end up participating in a couple of other challenges this week, who knows :) Would you rather… Lend books to someone who dog-ears pages or to someone who reads with cheesy Cheetos fingers? Eeek. Both are equally horrible, but I’d have to go with dog-eared pages. They can be folded back into some semblance of normal, but cheese? That sh*t ain’t […]
