Okay, so remember last week when I did the Taylor Swift book tag (cringes), and joked that the concept was cool, but it’d be better if it was Avenged? Well, I started pondering their song names and realized it wouldn’t be all that hard to come up with. So, here it is…a book tag for people like me, who like their music a little stronger! Inspired by the Taylor Swift book tag, originally posted by The Book Life The songs: […]
Okay, so it’s no secret that I can’t STAND Taylor Swift. (No, seriously, she makes me want to vomit. When her songs come on the radio, I want to drive my car off a bridge.) Which is why the devious Nova @ Out of Time tagged me to do this. *glares* I don’t ever do tag posts here on Novel Heartbeat, but the idea is kind of cool. It would just be better with Avenged Sevenfold songs instead of Taylor Swift […]
I recently updated my Reviews by Year page to include a section for books I read before the year I started blogging (2011). I was surprised by how many there were (I didn’t think I read that much before I blogged!), but what I was most surprised by was the whopping amount of 5 star books I read back then.

When I first started blogging, I had NO idea what an ARC was. (Ah, to be blissfully ignorant again.) After a few months, once I found out and got established, I discovered NetGalley. Then Edelweiss.

Alas, they were not “free.” They came with guilt, and pressure, and…*cringes* obligations. Eeeeeek. For a while there, I was drowning in them. And guess what? Once you’re […]
1. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. THAT COVER THO. It’s sooo gorgeous!! Love me some high fantasy! 2. Illuminae by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman. Um, JAY KRISTOFF.

Ensnared by A.G. Howard. I love […]
