Okay, let’s face it, this isn’t much of a discussion, but since I’ve just spent a whole month in Colorado, I figure I should share some of the highlights, right? We rented a cabin (well, a house really, but a cabinish house) in the mountains, and my husband took off half the time we were there and worked from “home” the other half. As you know from my post about vacationing and disorganized blogging, I also worked […]
Anya and the Shy Guy is the fourth installment in the Backstage Pass series, which chronicles the love lives of the members of Seconds to Juliet, a superstar boy band. I haven’t read the first three books in the series (those of you who know me well are gasping right now – I never read series out of order), but this book really did stand well on its own as a standalone – and now […]
Jesse’s Girl is the sixth standalone book in the Hundred Oaks series (and I have to say that, even by my standards, these books truly can be read as standalones). It’s a really fun romantic read with a dash of bad boy superstar behavior to keep us entertained (but not too much – Jesse’s not a jerk). Overall, a really entertaining read, just like all of Kenneally’s books! This book focuses on Maya (who is […]
The Six is an interesting and exciting twist on the typical “teenagers save the world” theme – in this case, the teenagers are no longer teenagers, they’re machines. The book takes a look at real life artificial intelligence and where it could lead. What would happen if an AI decided to destroy us? What would we need to do to fight back? In this book, Adam and five other terminally ill teenagers agree to give […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Hyped Books I’ve Never Read This is an EASY topic! There are SO MANY books that I haven’t read that everyone else has loved. Now, I’m not one of those people who tends to dislike books that get a lot of hype, so I’m still looking forward to reading all of these. Eventually I’ll get around to it! The Grisha Series by Leigh Bardugo – This series is perfect for me! […]
***NOTE: This review is for the second book in a series and may contain spoilers for the first book. Click the link to see my review of The Maze Runner.*** Awhile back, I reviewed The Maze Runner, but I hadn’t gotten to reading The Scorch Trials half of the collector’s edition because my son hid the book away from me so I couldn’t steal it from him (literally – he adored both books – if […]
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead. Last week on FYFA (and in my life): This week seemed to fly by!! We’re still in Colorado and we celebrated my son’s 13th birthday and, of course, 4th of July – fireworks […]
So, you’re going on vacation. A fairly long vacation. No problem, right? You just tell the blogosphere that you’re heading out, pre-write and schedule a few posts here and there, and take a little time off from blogging. We all deserve a break, right? That would work great – except, as I’ve told you before, I’m a disorganized blogger. So, do I follow my fantastic advice? Um, no. I did schedule two Top Ten Tuesday […]
My Goings On in June: Summer is here and I’m taking full advantage! My family spent the last two weeks in June in Colorado, hiking, sightseeing, wild animal watching, gold panning, hummingbird feeding, wildflower picking, ropes course climbing, go-karting – and just generally having tons of fun!! (Check out the picture of us up on Mt. Bierstadt HERE). I am still working on editing Summer Haikus by S.J. Pajonas and finished a proofread of Avalon’s […]
