This post is inspired directly from Paper Fury’s post Do You Give Authors’ Works Second Chances? Cait’s post posed a fabulous question, and when I went to comment on it I realized – there’s a lot of authors that have written books I love as well as books I hate. And coincidentally enough, when I stumbled on her post I was in the middle of Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson; which is significant because I love that series and I […]
Before we get started, there’s something you should know about me: I am NOT a TV series kind of person. I’m super picky and I’m TERRIBLE about keeping up with anything. (I watched the first two seasons of OUaT religiously, then missed the first episode of season 3 and just….never continued…) The ONLY non-anime show that I’ve ever stuck with past two seasons is Dexter. And since that finished I’ve never been able to find anything that could compare. (Stranger Things is […]
Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I loooved all the cool science-y tech involved! The concept of the pheromone technology was super awesome! Kinda scary, actually, seeing as how it’s not all that far-fetched. Everyone became so dependent on the Phera-tech that they no longer followed their hearts. I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to pair yourself with someone based solely on what a piece of machinery tells you, and not because you […]

I did alright in August. I had 8 books on my TBR and I read all but three of them (plus two books that wasn’t on there). Not bad! Books I read in August Everland (Everland #1) by Wendy Spinale – DNF Vicarious (Vicarious #1) by Paula Stokes – ★★★★ Metaltown by Kristen Simmons – ★★★★ Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi – ★★★★ The Hawkweed Prophecy by Irena Brignull – DNF Gemina (The Illuminae Files #2) by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman – ★★★★★+ Disruption (Disruption #1) […]
Okay, so I’d enjoy anything Mortal Instruments just because I love the world. But sadly, I’ve fallen out of love with this series. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it while reading – but ever since City of Glass, the books have failed to leave a lasting impression on me. It’s kind of like beating a dead horse at this point. I strongly believe that Cassie should have left this a trilogy, the way it was originally meant to […]
