I’m a fan of zombie books, but it’s been a while since I’ve had my zombie fix. This book was the perfect solution to that problem. I especially loved that it had a unique angle on the genre – it wasn’t just life as usual and then the zombies hit. This was much more of a dystopia, with a controlling government willing to sacrifice its people and revolutionaries called The Underground who are fighting to regain […]
I know I’ve been away for the past couple of days. We had our final performance for my Homeschool Co-op Acting class yesterday – we did poems by Shel Silverstein – so fun! Since my son was doing sound, we had to be there for the dress rehearsals for all the other classes too. PLUS I had to help my daughter with her project for her project fair. (Turned out great!) That took up our entire Monday […]

Last two weeks on FYFA (and in my life): Busy week around here! We’re coming up on the end of our homeschooling co-op year and we have our final performances next week. That […]
I’ve been having a real dilemma when it comes to series lately. I’m actually considering making a relatively radical change – not reading series until they’re complete. But I don’t know if I can really do it. I’ve decided to make a list of pros and cons – and I need your help deciding what to do! SHOULD I WAIT TO START A NEW SERIES UNTIL IT’S FINISHED? THE PROS: Cures My Forgetfulness. This […]
***NOTE: This review is for the second book in a series but doesn’t contain anything but the mildest of spoilers for the first book. To read my review of The Orphan Queen, click on the link.*** Oh my goodness, this book!!! I seriously have no words for how utterly fantastic this book was. In fact, this review is going to be somewhat short because I don’t feel like I can talk about anything specific without […]
I’ve decided to participate in Read, Sleep Repeat’s ARC April event to help motivate me to clear out some ARCs that have been waiting for me! I’m aiming for the The Silver Reader Level, which is 5-9 ARCs read for the month. Here are a few books I’m hoping to read in April (the first one’s already taken care of – my review goes up tomorrow!):
The first book in this series of standalones honestly didn’t thrill me. In fact, I’m not even quite sure why I decided to read this one, but I wanted to give the author and the concept another chance, and I’m really glad I did because this one was much more enjoyable for me than the Aladdin book. This book turns Sleeping Beauty’s story on its ear. It starts up right before where the Disney movie ended – […]
A few quick reviews of some books that deserve attention. Hopefully these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! Romancing the Nerd by Leah Rae Miller Series: Nerd #2 Published by Entangled Teen on 4/5/16 Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance Pages: 352 Source: NetGalley My content rating: YA (Nothing more than kissing) My rating: Dan Garrett has become exactly what he hates—popular. Until recently, he was just another live-action role-playing (LARP) geek on the lowest run of the social ladder. […]

My Goings On in March: It was a bit of a slow month around the blog since I was feeling a little slumpy and then headed out on vacation. I’ll be back full-steam ahead in April, though! I edited Allie Juliette Mousseau’s newest Adult/NA standalone, Stripped and started an edit of a book for a new client. We went to Tucson, Arizona for spring break and had a fabulous time! Not only did we get […]
