Tiger Queen by Annie Sullivan: Review & Giveaway

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 25 ★★★★

When I heard that Annie Sullivan had written a retelling of “The Lady or the Tiger” I was incredibly excited! I’d loved her unique retelling of “The Midas Touch,” and I had no doubt she’d do one of my favorite short stories justice. I distinctly remember reading this story when I was a teenager and being left with that agonizing open ending. I read the story again with my own students when I taught at my homeschool co-op, and one of our exercises was to write their own ending (and, yes, a few of my students did have the princess sick the tiger on her lost love). I was curious to see if Sullivan would leave us with an open ending as well or give us her own version of closure. Of course, I can’t tell you the answer to that. You’ll have to read to find out! Sullivan has created… Read more »

Watch Hollow by Gregory Funaro: Book Blast Giveaway!

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended) 12

I enjoyed Funaro’s fun fantasy Alistair Grim’s Odditorium (which I dual-reviewed with Danielle Hammelef), so when I saw this blast for his newest book, I thought I’d jump in and give you guys a chance to win it! (In fact, I just might enter this giveaway myself. 🙂 ) The description for this book had me at “a host of magical clock animals.” Yes, please! Praise for WATCH HOLLOW “Filled with clever, magical, and instantly likable characters, Funaro’s excellent, fast-paced, and twisty mystery—packed with suspense, facts, magic, and an incredible, deeply thought-out world—will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter.” ―Booklist (starred review) “A well-wound tale of good versus evil.” ―Kirkus Reviews “The magically sentient house, creeping woods, and resident monster establish the story’s shivery Gothic feel, which will more than satisfy readers in search of a pleasantly scary read.” ―Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “There is magic, there is… Read more »

Before I Disappear by Danielle Stinson: Review, Giveaway, & Stinson’s Top Ten Addictions

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Author Top Ten Lists, Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 20 ★★★★★

You know how sometimes you start reading a book, and within just a few pages, you’re already saying, “I LOVE this!”? That was Before I Disappear for me. Right away, I could tell there was going to be something special in these pages—I was immediately wrapped up in the intrigue: What’s so odd about Charlie? What’s this music he’s hearing? Why have they had to move so much? What are they running from? What dangers are lurking in Fort Glory? Well, I’m happy to say that the book never let me down. I was riveted throughout. I don’t want to say too much about what happens because I think it will be more fun to discover on your own, but I will say that a whole lot of craziness ensues when Fort Glory disappears. But I also loved these characters. Both Ian and Rose are obviously broken in many ways,… Read more »

July 2019 Discussion Challenge Link-Up & Giveaway

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Book Blog Discussion Challenge, Giveaways (Ended) 5

Welcome to the July monthly link-up for the 2019 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! Somehow the year is half over already and wow didn’t it just begin? Someone could write a discussion about the ridiculous passage of time… The winner of our May discussion challenge giveaway was Sam @ We Live and Breathe Books! Sam hasn’t chosen a book yet because Shannon says she completely forgot to choose or email a winner until right now. She promises she’ll DM her before the post goes live. (And this is why Shannon and I get along so very nicely—we’re both totally disorganized, but we somehow always still manage to pull it together to get things done. And when one of us messes up and does something late, there’s absolutely zero judgment because, well …) If you don’t know what… Read more »

Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith: Review & Giveaway

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 34 ★★★½

A story of dealing with trauma and figuring out who you are after life has changed, this book has a powerful message of hope and healing. What Fed My Addiction: Chris’s realistic family conflict. Chris’s mother has a hard time accepting Chris’s transition. For one thing, she has lots of fears about her son’s safety out in the world, especially after Chris was already attacked before he even came out as trans. I know lots of people are going to see the mom as a horrible person because she didn’t immediately embrace Chris’s transition. But I’m going to get real honest here and tell you that when my daughter came out to us as trans, it wasn’t simple, even if I wanted it to be. And people take different amounts of time to wrap their heads around a gender transition. It’s hard not to fear this world and want your… Read more »
