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): Okay, my daughter’s big gymnastics meet is coming up next weekend, and the stress of getting everything done for hospitality, plus getting all of my […]
About the Author Evelyn Skye was once offered a job by the C.I.A., she not-so-secretly wishes she was on “So You Think You Can Dance,” and if you challenge her to a pizza-eating contest, she guarantees she will win. When she isn’t writing, Evelyn can be found chasing her daughter on the playground or sitting on the couch, immersed in a good book and eating way too many cookies. THE CROWN’S GAME is her first […]
At the end of 2014, I wrote a post about the impossible task of culling my TBR. At the time, my Goodreads TBR had gotten out of control at over 1100 books. I managed to remove about 340 books and got overwhelmed and gave up. Well, my TBR has done nothing but grow since then. I was recently inspired by a post over at The Library Huntress about how she decided to just delete her […]
Pull was an intriguing paranormal time travel tale. The book had me hooked right from the very start when I wanted to learn all of Rosie’s grandpa’s secrets! What Fed My Addiction: Family. This book had a really strong focus on family that you don’t see often in YA. Not everything was picture perfect (especially with Rosie’s relationship with her brother Paul), but the family dynamics did ring true. Rosie had a strong bond with her grandparents […]
I wanted to write quick reviews of these two since they’ve been out for quite some time, but they deserve some more attention! Hopefully these bite sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! These two books counted toward my A Series a Month Challenge and my Shelf Love Challenge! These reviews are for books two and three in a series. For my review of the first book, click HERE. World After by Susan […]
I’ve been a big fan of Madow for a long while – I really enjoyed her Secret Diamond Sisters series! This new series seems even more up my alley, so I’m really looking forward to reading it! If you’ve been around my blog for any length of time, you know that I like to feature author’s Top Ten Addictions to go along with my blog (click the link if you want to see other authors’ […]
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): Once again, I feel like there’s not much to tell you about my week. I started watching The Shannara Chronicles, which I’m excited about. […]
So, I recently read Bookishly Ever After, and the main character really reminded me of myself as a teenager. The only problem is, this just reinforced a longtime belief that I’ve held – I would have made a somewhat frustrating YA main character! (By the way, I should point out that I still really enjoyed Bookishly Ever After – it was cute and fun and perfect for the young YA crowd.) See, I was the type of girl who […]
The Year We Fell Apart was an incredibly poignant look at the ways we try to escape the painful moments in our lives and the many mistakes that we often make along the way. This book doesn’t paint a pretty picture of the teen years, but it does paint a realistic one. What Fed My Addiction: Dealing with serious illness and death. I appreciated the way that this book dealt with terminal (or at least possibly […]
Here are some quick reviews for books I haven’t gotten around to reviewing or that I just don’t have a ton to say about.
