Thanks to BenBella Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read this. I guess it isn’t that new of a book, looks like it’s been out for awhile, but it was available so I asked to read it because it sounded pretty good. It wasn’t bad, kind of predictable, but again, not bad. The main […]
A few years ago, when I really got into losing weight, and lost about 35-40 pounds, and I was actually at a weight that would have been easy to manage, and I was walking 20 miles a week, I was in a diet/weight loss memoir book obsession. I would even search the book database whenever […]
Okay, I need to talk to people who will understand, I think, what has got me so irritated at the moment. Now, I know many of my readers are NOT Twilight fans, and probably hate it with a seething passion. But I know many others of my readers are fans of the story, or if […]
I was lucky enough to win a copy of this from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and once again it was through a Shelf Awareness Giveaway! The premise at first didn’t “grab” me, but I knew that as I had loved Beautiful Creatures by both Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, I would probably love […]
I will participate in In My Mailbox this week since it may be the last one for awhile that The Story Siren is hosting due to her probably having her baby soon! I got to meet Kristi at BEA 2012 last year very briefly, and so wish her happiness with this new part in her […]
A lot of times the little 1.5 or 2.5 stories that authors make available are only in ebook format. I’d assume these originally were as well, but I was excited to see they were all put together into one actual paper book. I bought this with the Amazon gift card that I won from The […]
I am grateful to Gotham Books, part of Penguin Publishing for allowing me to get an advance copy of this book through a contest in the Shelf Awareness daily email newsletter. It’s been a while since I’ve read a memoir, but this one reminded me why I went through the phase a few years ago […]
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve picked the fourth and final book in a series, yet I haven’t read the third one yet. The reason I’ve chosen this is because I’ve decided to wait until the last one […]
Top Ten Tuesday is sponsored by The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s “Rewind” is to pick a topic you missed or want to revisit. As I’ve probably only done this a couple times, there were TONS of choices for me! And while I hate doing more memes in a week than actual reviews, it […]
As I mentioned last week, I’ve been really getting a lot of stuff lately! Plus, as I get e-galleys I’ll try to start writing them down and posting for this meme, sponsored by Tynga’s Reviews, as well. I also mentioned last week about how I won a $50 gift card from The Reader’s Den. Well, […]
