This book is fantastic! Just plain fantastic. I’ve been meaning to try something by Cora Carmack for years because so many people rave about her New Adult books, but I just never quite got around to it. When I heard that she had a YA Fantasy coming out, I was immediately in. And I am SO glad I jumped onboard because this book was incredibly unique—lots of fantasy uses storm magic, but Carmack managed to […]

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: The Ten Books I’ve Most Recently Added to My TBR I think technically I was supposed to pick a genre for this week’s list, and I was going to list fantasies, but then the first few books that really caught my eye weren’t technically fantasies and I just decided to tell you about the books I’ve most recently gotten excited enough about to add them to my TBR. For my descriptions of the books, I’m […]
Okay, here’s the deal: This book is seriously messed up! It kind of reminds me of a train wreck you can’t look away from—not because it’s bad, by any means, but because the characters and the situation are so incredibly, intensely broken and dark. What Fed My Addiction: Surreal contemporary? The book is interesting because I was never quite sure what I was reading. I assumed from the beginning that it was sort of a dark […]

This is SO my type of fantasy—filled with magic, friendship, peril and romance (with a good heap of backstabbing on the side)! Loyalties are tested, bonds are formed (and broken) and a whole bunch of people die. Yep—my kind of book! What Fed My Addiction: Tilla. To me, Tilla represents the perfect character balance. She’s tough, smart, fierce and loyal, but she’s not completely fearless and she’s not some sort of superhero. In fact, if it were […]

My Goings On in May: My daughter turned 13. Another teenager in the house. Yikes! I volunteered at the Scholastic warehouse sale and earned LOTS of free books! The new swim season has started, so my two older kids (and I) are busy with practices and meets. Our house got robbed! My daughter won a writing competition for her cute short story! I finished the first draft of that new editing project that I’ve been […]
