Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: What superpower would you choose? This week’s topic: Websites It’s no secret that I spend a lot of time on the internet. It’s definitely a downfall! Here are the sites I spend the most time on: Twitter, of course. This one is the major one! My blog. It’s kind of sad how many hours I spend on it! Sometimes I navigate to my homepage just to sit and stare at […]
We’ve all seen those “how-to” posts on writing reviews. Do this, don’t do that, make sure you blah blah blah. I hate those posts. Why? Because there are no rules. There are no guidelines. Your blog is YOUR space, and yours alone. Not anyone else’s! No one should ever, ever tell you how to review (or how not to). I cringe every time I see posts like that. Here are a few lines of “advice” I’ve seen that really annoy me: Don’t be sarcastic. […]

At first, I didn’t really care about the story. I tend to see novellas as a waste of time, nothing but filler. But as soon as Zu made an appearance, I was interested. And I found myself becoming more and more invested in the story. And to tell you the truth, this story actually isn’t just filler like most novellas! I didn’t care for Gabe at first, but I think that’s kind of the point. He’s kind of a jerk […]
This book was one of my most anticipated 2015 releases. After seeing review after review, proclaiming how EPIC and AMAZING and MIND BLOWING this book was, I wanted it desperately! I originally missed it on Edelweiss somehow, until someone told me it was on there. I immediately went and downloaded it. I was sure I was going to love this one. Alas, I did not. I am the black sheep. (Again.) Maybe the problem is that the Hype Monster set my expectations sky […]
