For their celebration of YA Week, Goodreads created a few lists specific to YA. I know I just did a post on Goodreads Mid-Year lists, but I couldn’t resist checking these out too. I was curious how many of the books I’d read. CLICK ON THE CATEGORY HEADINGS TO SEE THE LISTS ON GOODREADS. 100 Top YA Books: This is an all-time list that Goodreads came up with using books that are most often on […]
I created this giveaway to encourage people to visit people’s monthly wrap-up posts. There are entries for commenting on the wrap-up posts in the link-up. Danielle Hammelef won the May/June giveaway! NOTE: I know Danielle wins this giveaway a lot, but I want to point out that she totally deserves it—every month, she reads and comments on almost every wrap-up post that’s linked up. Danielle doesn’t have a blog, but she’s a vital part of […]
This book was surprisingly refreshing! For some reason, I wasn’t expecting to love it quite as much as I did. I went in with certain expectations—even just from the title—and found that most of them were surpassed or turned upside down. I ended up flipping the pages furiously because I just didn’t want to put the book down! What Fed My Addiction: Sisterly affections. The sisters’ relationship was complicated. In fact, I spent much of my reading […]

Zera is full of snark—just the way I like my YA MCs. I loved the fact that she was a […]

My monthly Make Me Read It Giveaway has been really successful for getting me to read some books I’ve been meaning to get to for a long time, and I thought why not push it even a little further and do this readathon? What Is This Readathon About? Look at the books you […]
My Goings On in July: I sent out my first queries! And got my first rejection. I guess that makes me a real writer, right? I haven’t heard from the other agents I queried yet, but I’m gearing up to send out a few more. I know that this process is going to be long and difficult with lots of rejection along the way, so I’m trying to prepare myself mentally. I keep editing my […]
