Review: Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: Obsidian Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout Publisher: Entangled Teen Release Date: May 8, 2012 Pages: 361, Paperback Goodreads Rating: 4.36 stars My Rating: 3/5 stars Summary from Goodreads: Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes.

June Random Read – The New Hunger by Isaac Marion

It’s time for my June Random Read (a fun meme hosted by I’m Loving Books). The idea is to pick one random book out of your Goodreads To-Read list (using Random.org) to read within the month. Can I just tell you that I am in love with this meme?! Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve added so many books to my TBR list that I know it’s impossible for me to read them all. Somehow, it makes me feel […]
