When I got this book from NetGalley, I didn’t know too much about it except for a vague idea that it was fantasy and the absolute knowledge that everyone seems to love it. I was fairly certain I would enjoy it too, since I tend to enjoy fantasy and the synopsis intrigued me. I had no idea that it was really historical fiction (I loved the author’s note at the end that told about what […]
My Goings On in November: This was a very light month for me on the blog, mostly because … I won NaNoWriMo!!! (Meaning, I wrote the 50,000 required words to win – I haven’t actually finished my book, but I am darn proud of my progress, especially since it was looking pretty bleak there for a little while.) This was a really tough goal for me, so I’m thrilled! I did a first edit of L.A Starkey’s upcoming […]
***NOTE: This review is for the second book in a series and may contain spoilers for the first book. Read my review of Pawn HERE.*** Captive picks up right where Pawn left off – Kitty has killed off Augusta and is still taking over for Lila Hart in order to help the Blackcoat Rebellion. Daxton, the Prime Minister, knows her secret, though, and she knows his – they’ve both been Masked, and are impersonating the real Daxton […]

So, a lot of you read my post awhile back about Authors that Complain. There was one particular indie author whose books I loved, but she drove me crazy with her negativity on her blog (she basically said she hated her book and only wrote it to please fans and then a week or so later proceeded to complain about the fact that said fans hadn’t bought the book – well, if you tell me […]

I have to say that I really sort of fell in love with this book. I went into it thinking that it was going to be a dystopian, and it really sort of is, except at the end, if you read the author’s notes, you’ll find that the book is based on a real life place – a place that actually existed. Make sure that you head over to this site to see pictures of Kowloon […]
I have a problem. As a book blogger, what’s the #1 answer you get asked? What’s your favorite book? Or it might be a slight variation on this. What’s your favorite: author, series, genre, book boyfriend … you get the idea. But, my problem is, I am absolutely incapable of answering this question. Like, seriously incapable. I might be able to come up with a list of favorites (though even that is hard for me sometimes), […]
