We had a GREAT turnout last year, so Reanna and I thought we would bring it back again this year! It’s so great to be back blogging and I’m pretty excited to be celebrating with a readathon :D There is one major change from last year: we’d love to have other bloggers host mini-challenges. We’d like at least 3 if possible. Please email Reanna (phantasmicreads@gmail.com) if you’re interested in helping out! Rules The Beat the Heat Readathon runs from August […]

Life of a Blogger: Tattoos

See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Sports you’ve played Topic suggested by Christy @ Christy’s Book Addiction I looooove tattoos. LOVE. I have always had a major fascination for ink! I currently have 5 and want many more than that. If it weren’t for them being so costly, I’d probably be about covered by now! Tattoos are very addicting. They’re kind of like potato chips – you can’t have just one. Once you’ve had your first, you’re going […]

See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Family To tell you the truth, I was never much of a sporty person. In high school I was a band geek! I did decide to try out for softball one year, but conditioning was so hard and I was so physically out of shape that I never went back.

I have a VERY good relationship with my parents. They mean the world to me! I lived with […]

I totally didn’t realize this going in, but this book is a companion novel to Some Quiet Place, not a sequel. I was disappointed to say the least, and sadly, I feel like maybe that could have affected my overall judgement of this book. My first issue? I wanted Fear. I loved Fear in the first book. Actually, he was what made that book for me! If you didn’t already know, I gave Some Quiet Place 4.5 heartbeats. While he had a few small […]
