Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Most Anticipated Books of the Rest of 2016 It’s been a LONG time since I’ve participated in TTT, but I really wanted to feature some of the books I can’t WAIT for this year!! (Links go to Goodreads) 1. Scythe by Neal Shusterman This has to be my most anticipated book of the year!! Neal Shusterman is a genius, and I can’t wait to read his next book. 2. Metaltown by Kristen Simmons I picked […]

She researches her brother’s disease and finds two likely […]
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): I started the Couch to 5K program because my husband wants the whole family to run a 5K later this summer. Running is so not my thing […]
Ah, the dreaded spam comments … we all know them well. Now, for the most part, my spam filter catches all these bad boys so that I never even have to set eyes on them. But the other day one slipped through the cracks and reading it just made me … laugh! It reminded me of the fun I had featuring spam on my blog once when I was a newbie blogger. (I called the […]
***NOTE: While this review is for the third book in a series, it’s a standalone series, so there are no spoilers for previous books, and you don’t have to read the first two books in order to enjoy this one. (I haven’t, but I plan to change that!)*** This book is pretty much exactly what it advertises – it was a light, cute read that gave me the warm and fuzzy feels. I don’t know what […]
Loved this coming of age story about a girl who discovers she’s much more adventurous than she imagined herself to be! With a super adorable love interest and a main character who shows incredible character growth throughout the book, I highly recommend this one!! This is the sort of book that’s all sorts of adorable and just has you constantly either swooning or laughing out loud. Remember when I asked if an author’s bio ever made […]
This book gave me every single one of the feels. All of them – it was both beautiful and horrifying at the same time. Armentrout takes us on a journey with her characters – these people who have been broken and beaten down and simply want to reach past their pain toward hope. But change doesn’t come easy and sometimes hope can be elusive, especially when you’ve spent a lifetime without it. This book drew […]
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): Another relatively uneventful week here in the Hewitt household. I did take the kids to the local Japanese gardens (which is rated as the best […]
Not long ago, I wrote a post about how I try not to focus too much on stats because I could easily drive myself crazy (and because I never know what to do about any of that information I see!). Well, today I want to talk about the drawbacks to growing your blog bigger. Feed Your Fiction Addiction isn’t a HUGE blog, but it’s getting bigger, and I’ve noticed a few drawbacks that I wasn’t really […]
Out of Play is the sort of book that deals with tough issues really well but doesn’t completely mangle your heart in the process. Not that I’m not a fan of the occasional heart-mangling (you know I love a good cry now and then), but I think it’s great to have books that tackle these types of issues in a somewhat lighter, more accessible manner as well. A book that gives you the feels, but doesn’t tear […]
