September Discussion Challenge Link-Up & Giveaway

Welcome to the September monthly link-up for the 2016 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! Where did the summer go??? That’s all I will say about that. I refuse to acknowledge that fall is coming this month. The winner of our July discussion challenge link-up is still up in the air. I know that seems crazy, but I (Nicole) have actually tried contacting multiple people […]

The Scourge by Jennifer A. Nielsen – A Great Middle Grade Read!

A note about the genre: This is a non-magical fantasy. It takes place in a medieval-type fictional world but there aren’t any actual fantastical elements. Also, at first I thought this was a Young Adult book – the main characters seemed to fall into the young adult age category, but I’ve since found out that perhaps I was wrong. It’s labeled as Middle Grade. I actually think this is the type of book that both MG readers […]

The Sin Eater’s Daughter and The Sleeping Prince by Melinda Salisbury – Bite-Sized Reviews

When I saw that The Sin Eater’s Daughter was available via the SYNC audiobook program this summer, I immediately jumped at the chance to listen. It’s been on my TBR for quite awhile. While it wasn’t perfect, I was definitely eager to move on to the second book – luckily, it was available via Edelweiss and I was able to jump right in! I actually really loved the second book, and I even felt like […]

My Foray into Anime and Manga – Let’s Discuss!

As many of you know from my Sunday Posts, my 14-year-old son Jaden has been enchanted with all things Japanese lately. He went to a Japanese immersion camp, he’s taking a college-level Japanese class at our local community college, and he soaks in whatever Japanese culture he can: at first that was mostly in the form of watching Japanese music videos on YouTube, but now he’s expanded that to manga and anime. It started because […]

P.S. I Like You by Kasie West – 4.5 Adorable Stars!

Kasie West’s books get bonus points for being just so utterly adorable that I can’t bear to put them down. This book was no exception. P.S. I Like You was, on the surface, a typical high school romance, but somehow West makes you fall so in love with her characters that it becomes something more. By the end of this book, I was swooning and grinning and doing a little happy dance. Mission accomplished. What Fed […]

The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee – ARC Review

A fun guilty pleasure read with lots of drama and an interesting mystery, The Thousandth Floor had me intrigued from the start! What Fed My Addiction: The Players: Since there were SO many characters and POV’s in this book, I’ll give you a little rundown of the major players. I really enjoyed almost all of them! Avery and Atlas: These two live on the top floor in the penthouse. Even though Avery is obviously the […]

Been Here All Along by Sandy Hall – Review & Giveaway

This book is sweet and fun and all sorts of adorable. It was a typical, simple high school romance, but it was kind of nice to see one of those with LGBT characters – without a lot of angsty complications. What Fed My Addiction: Gideon and Kyle. It would be hard not to love this duo. They’ve been best friends for almost their whole lives – they bond over their love of Lord of the Rings […]
