It’s 2020…

...and I'm still wondering were 2019 went...and the last part of 2018, but hey it's a new decade, and this year has got to be better than the last few. *sigh* I kept procrastinating this post because I didn't know what to say. Do I do a 2019 wrap up post? Is it too late…

Review: Thomas Wildus and the Book of Sorrows

I received a copy of Thomas Wildus and the Book of Sorrows by J.M. Bergman from Book Publicity services in exchange for an honest review.   Magic is real, Thomas. No matter what happens, always remember that magic is real. Seven years have passed, and Thomas hasn’t forgotten. He hasn’t forgotten the blue of his…

Review: Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

So, earlier this year Dutton granted every wish for a copy of Riley Sager's Lock Every Door on Net Galley and I was able to receive an e-ARC of the book. I enjoyed Sager's Final Girls so I jumped at the chance to read Lock Every Door. I am embarrassed to say that I somehow…

October TBR

*awkwardly waves* So, it’s been a while. I never actually put the blog on hiatus…we’ll call that wishful thinking. Despite how long this year has felt I’m not sure where the time has gone. This year has been crazy, it’s been stressful, and there has been a lot of change as well as a lot…

2019 Beat the Backlist Challenge

There are so many great books coming out in 2019 that I want to read. However, there are so many books already out I want to read that have been sitting on my TBR or were sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. So many books, so little time, and so many shiny new…

December Recap

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday season! I can't believe December is over! I mean where did 2018 go? I met my reading goal for the year of 50 books a few months ago so I knew I didn't have to stress over it, but there were so many books I still wanted to…

November Recap

I may not have finished NaNoWriMo, but I actually successfully completed my November TBR!!! November Wrap Up I set my sights low in November because of all the post hurricane things we were dealing with and my lack of focus when it came to reading. I also pretty much abandoned any book I was reading…

October Wrap Up

So wow...it's been over two months since I last posted. October my friends was quite the month. If you watched the news at all in October you probably heard at least a mention of Hurricane Michael. We're still dealing with the aftermath. (We also just got internet back December 10.) You are here for books…

October TBR

This month I'm doing something a bit different. I grabbed a bunch of spooky/autumn/Halloween books that I'd like to read. There's no way I'm going to get through them all, but they are all books I really want to read. We'll see what happens. Continued from September: Endsinger by Jay Kristoff Kingdom of Ruins by D.C.
