A weekend dedicated to spiffing up our blogs! Hosted by It’s All About Books My goals: 1. Transfer all reviews from 2012 to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Shelfari. I’ve really been slacking. 2. Sort through giveaway entries (over 1,000 – eek!) and pick my 2 winners. Announce. 3. Change about me. Ensure it isn’t the length of a small novel. 4. Put together the March monthly recap. *cringe* 5. Look into setting up some sort of template for reviews/recaps/memes. […]
First of all, this situation would be AWFUL. I’m a bit of a piglet and I can’t imagine going more than a day without eating. (or going without my Dew, yes yes roll your eyes) The situation of this story alone was enough to make it riveting. It was a very quick read – I finished it in a couple of hours. So why only 2.5 stars? Because certain aspects were a little far-fetched and unrealistic for me to swallow. […]

Scree is inhabited […]
A special thanks to all my wonderful followers!! To celebrate, I’m giving away 2 e-copies of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Lux novella, Shadows. Why, you ask? Because I STILL have not read it! So, I am buying my own copy for my Nook iPhone app over the weekend to read, and thought I’d share the reading experience. :) Because this is out of my own pocket, you must be a follower to enter. Each winner will have 48 hours to respond, if […]
In the first 80 pages or so, I was thinking about putting this one down. Boy, am I glad I didn’t! In the beginning, I really didn’t care for it because of several reasons: 1) The cursing. The F word was in almost every other sentence. I have absolutely no problem with a little foul language, but I feel it was a bit excessive at times. 2) It seemed a bit like a male’s wet dream complete with lesbian bondage […]
