Some of these were actually read before the last batch of mini reviews but due to the fact that the holidays ruined my ability to think they got left behind. So here we are, trying to play catch up! The Heiress Effect (Book Two in the Brother's Sinister Series) by Courtney Milan ☆☆☆ ... Continue Reading →

2016 Reading/Blogging Goals
I still cannot believe I'm making this post. 2015 is falling away, leaving 2016 behind. Where does the time go? Seriously? Between working full-time, writing, taking care of my family and house, and reading I'm lucky I notice the days. But it's here, the end of year posting when everyone puts up their goals, plans,...

Guilty Pleasure Reading : Should I feel guilty?
I've been pondering this idea of 'guilty pleasure' reading lately. I'm not sure what brought it on, possibly discussions of genre vs canon and the worth of a reader that I've seen or heard lately. The idea that someone should be ashamed or thought less of for what they read bothers me on a fundamental... Continue Reading →
Top 5 Wednesday : Favorite Retellings
Favorite Retellings. That's a broad category, and a case can be made that almost everything is a retelling of some other, older story. I'm going to try and pick a few different... maybe styles? of retellings. Boy oh boy! Top 5 is of course created by Lainey at GingerReadsLainey. And as usual these are not... Continue Reading →

I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella ☆☆☆☆ Chick-lit is something I've not gotten into until... Continue Reading →

Books I want to finish BEFORE 2016
Alternately titled : This isn't a TBR, we all know I fail at those Though really I'm aware it is by it's very nature a TBR, I just refuse to call it that. If I call it by it's real name it gives it power. So as of writing this it's December 1st. It'll be December... Continue Reading →
Top 5 Wednesday : Top 5 Audiobooks
This should be an easy one for me! I don't listen to audiobooks often. Usually when I do its by chance, as my hubby is listening while we play WoW. I have occasionally picked up one or two so I think I have enough for a Top 5, as the ones I do have I've... Continue Reading →
Yall Fest : A Wrap-up and Haul
YALLFest 2015 was amazing, just as good if not better than last year. It was smaller last year, with fewer panels, and fewer authors I knew then. This year it was full to brim of authors I knew, authors I had just discovered, and panels I wanted to get to. Naturally you can never get... Continue Reading →
