I started this feature here at ASR in order to know your fellow bloggers a little better! If you are interested in being featured please fill out the form. Meet Leslie! My name is Leslie and I’m in my late 20s, living in a suburb of Austin, TX. I am silly, a little too sarcastic and enjoy spending my time living in worlds significantly different than my own. I have an irrational obsession with robots, both cute and […]
If you didn’t already know, I looove high fantasy. There’s just something about it that pulls me in! So I was pretty sure going in that I was going to enjoy this one. And enjoy it, I did! The world building was what sold me on this one. I want to burrow into Devri’s imagination and live there! (you know, in a totally non-creepy way….) She is fabulous at drawing you in, and it was easy for me to picture […]

I gave it 2.5 – which for me is somewhere in between ‘it was ok’ and ‘I liked it.’ Because although I mostly just felt ‘meh’ about […]

My name is Ruby, as you might have guessed from the name of my blog. I run Ruby’s Reads (my tagline is “Anything with a Smidge of Romance”), for those unfamiliar or if you think you might have me confused with someone else. I’m just me, an […]
Not gonna lie, in the beginning I didn’t like this book much at all. The first 100 pages or so would probably only have scored a 2 or 2.5 rating for me. I was unimpressed with the characters, and it was a bit too cliche for me. Girl meets sexy bad boy who acts like a jerk to keep people at a distance, and they conveniently get stuck as school partners? Ugh. And even though the visions were weird and slightly […]
