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. So, I started analyzing some rating stats from my reading years and what I came up with was very interesting! […]
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. SEDUCTRESSES. I (like most of you probably did) went on a massive downloading spree. FREE BOOKS! FREE UNRELEASED BOOKS! 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. I would trade my firstborn for an ARC of anything new by Jay. 3. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. The cover is lovely, and I enjoyed Throne of Glass. I know the world will be awesome! 4. Ensnared by A.G. Howard. I love […]

So, Monday I got a wild hair and went on a mass deleting spree. I had a lot of random, weird books on my TBR list and it was driving me crazy! I went from 1400 something books down to 720. Crazy, right? (I’m kicking myself now for not screenshot-ing!) There were SO many books were I was just like, “WTF is that? Was I drunk when I added this?” I think many of them were books I added when […]
What do all of these books have in common? I HAVE THEM. ALL OF THEM. Some of them I’ve had for months (*coughs*Murder Complex, over a year). Sadly, I’m playing crazy catch up on my Rewind and Fur & Fangs challenges (because I slacked in the beginning), so I don’t have time to get to any of these until January. Unless by some miracle I get ahead of my challenges (not likely). SIGH.
