Todays topic: The horror genre in books! As I said in my discussion about horror in film: I loooove horror. I love creepy, dark stories. BUT…I am very picky. I do not scare easily at all, and I find 95% of the horror out there comedic rather than scary. I also don’t have a weak stomach. The gorier, the better! I have yet to find a book that could actually scare me. As of right now, I remain skeptical that it’s […]
Writing reviews for books that didn’t give you much passion either way is very difficult. This is one of those books, sadly. I’m having trouble pinpointing the issue here. The idea behind Insomnia was fantastic, really. Being able to see the dreams of the last person you made eye contact with? Such an interesting concept! But I felt totally ‘meh’ through the whole book. I just couldn’t connect with the story at all. Or our main character, Parker. (I already […]
Sadly, I didn’t get any books this week. BUT I did get my new business cards!! I designed them myself and ordered them through MOO. They were packaged very neatly and came with this awesome little carrying case! It’s very sleek and sturdy, and has ‘mine’ and ‘theirs’ tabs to hold all my business cards in! I’m VERY happy with my order! Name Change & Giveaway 2 Year Blogiversary: A year in review Goals & Changes Review: […]

And perhaps I deserve it because even after seeing some not-so-great reviews, my shallow nature wouldn’t let me walk away from the beautiful, beautiful cover. (Damn you, beautiful cover, damn you.) But my goodness, I was highly disappointed in this book! First of all, WHERE IS THE GOTHIC NOVEL I WAS PROMISED?!?! This was supposed to be a horror! This book is NOT a horror. It is […]
I mentioned a couple of times these past few weeks that I wanted to start moving forward with the blog. After the Reader Feedback Survey results, I’ve gathered a lot of insight about what my readers think and have added that to my own plans. My main goal going into this next year is more interaction. I feel like in my first year of blogging I got out into the community and visited WAY more blogs than I have this […]
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years! It hardly seems like I’ve been blogging that long, to tell you the truth. I’m so proud to be a part of this lovely community, and I’m grateful for all the bookish friends I’ve made! I’ve experienced so much in 2 short years and have evolved as a blogger. I feel like this blog has come a long way! My blog has had MANY design changes. I tend to get bored with the […]
