When I saw that another book was coming out in McGarry’s Thunder Road Series, I was so excited. This series is incredibly unique because of the biker culture – it’s hard not to be fascinated, even by the parts of the lifestyle that make me raise my eyebrows a little. This installment focused on Razor (who we met in the last book) and Breanna, one of his fellow classmates. Razor is struggling to trust the […]
I absolutely adored the first two books in this series, so I was eager to dive into this final installment. Unfortunately, I have to confess that my experience reading this one was marred a bit by the simple fact that I couldn’t remember enough of what had happened in the first two books and I therefore struggled with connecting to the story – both the high stakes and the secondary characters. Still, by the end, […]
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): Yep, a very slow week around here. I worked on an editing project, got some reading in, and managed to make my way around some […]
It’s been a really long time since I allowed a week to go by on my blog with just two posts (not including my Sunday Post). It feels … odd … but also liberating. Sometimes I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves as bloggers, and I realized that’s what I’ve been doing lately. I have to trust that I can go a week without posting much and the blog won’t implode. My […]
Audiobooks are relatively new territory for me. In the past, the only audiobooks I listened to were the books in the Wheel of Time Series, which I was trying to finally finish after years of putting it off. Those were each 30-40 hours long!! I enjoyed them, but behemoth books make for equally behemoth audiobooks. I thought I’d try out a some more “normal” audiobooks – the type that I could listen to while doing […]

Last week on FYFA (and in my life): A little bit quiet around here this week. I’ve been working away on an editing project with a tight deadline, which always makes me feel […]
I consider myself an avid reader. I’ve always read a lot, but when I first started blogging, my reading life exploded – I read over 200 books per year for those first couple of years. I thought this was A LOT. Then I saw some other bloggers who read over 300 books a year and I was astounded. I can often read a book in a day, but I certainly don’t do it every day. […]
Painting Rain is a sweet story about a woman coming to understand herself and learning to stand on her own two feet. Princess Lorraina was introduced in the first three books in this series, but each of the books can be read as a standalone – I missed book three, and while it was referenced a couple of times, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything that was important to the current story. However, […]

Last week on FYFA (and in my life): I managed to get some nice frames for the artwork I bought from Tabitha for my birthday (if you didn’t see the pictures, check them […]
First off, I want to start by saying that this post is not about book blogger drama or anything bad that happened in the blogosphere. This is something that I’ve been thinking about based on one of my own posts. (I know this topic can be touchy for some people, so I thought I’d start with a little disclaimer.) Last week, I put up a discussion post about Books that Intimidate Us, which was inspired by a […]
