Books I got this week For review: The Far Dawn by Kevin Emerson Undead With Benefits by Jeff Hart Feral by Holly Schindler Sanctum by Madeleine Roux Deliverance by C.J. Redwine Big thanks to Harper for these!! I actually put Far Dawn and Undead With Benefits up for trade on the YA Book Exchange because I haven’t read the first books (Sanctum already had several copies…if you want it let me know!).

When I first heard about this book, I thought it sounded awesome. When it went up on Edelweiss, I downloaded it immediately. It was only after that I realized it was written in second person.

I read nearly 90 pages of this book before I decided to […]

See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Fears This week’s topic: Fitness This is a bit of a tough subject for me, and something that I’ve struggled with probably my whole life. I’ve never been a very athletic person, and physical things don’t come easy to me. I’ve had a gym membership to my local ladies’ gym for at least 6 or 7 years now. The sad part is, I don’t use it much. I’ll get really gung-ho about […]
