Some Books Just Aren’t All That Memorable – Let’s Discuss

Some Books Just Aren’t All That Memorable – Let’s Discuss

Has this ever happened to you? You’re reading a book – and you’re really enjoying it. It’s going along swimmingly, and you get to the end and feel … satisfied. Maybe not completely blown away, but certainly happy with the outcome. So, you go to sleep (or go on with your day, but this tends to happen to me more often when I finish a book at night … maybe I’m too sleepy?) The next […]

Birthday and Third Blogoversary Giveaway!!

Hey, everybody! It’s time to celebrate my third blogoversary (a little late – technically, it was on the 31st) and my birthday (a little early – it’s on the 11th).

Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan – Review

Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan – Review

This book didn’t quite fit the mold that I’ve gotten used to with a lot of YA fantasies lately, but that made me appreciate it even more. I loved the mythology that was woven in throughout the book and the fact that the written word was so important to the story was a huge bonus! This book has a great synopsis, so I won’t spend time telling you what it’s about. Instead I’ll jump straight into […]

My Goings On in January: The new year has officially come, and it feels like it’s started with a bang!

This has been a blessing and a challenge, and I’m really excited to see the finished product (in April)! I did a proofread of The Rathemaker Magician by KL Horvath, which is being published by […]
