My Review: Another book I checked out from the library, although it was kind of a fiasco getting it actually in my hands!  I got an email saying it had arrived.  I went to the library the next day, and it wasn’t there.  So, the librarian said one of two things happened, either someone else […]

Top Ten Tuesday is sponsored by The Broke and The Bookish. As I’ve said before, I hate when my blog is more memes than reviews, but when you get into so many advanced copies that can’t be posted until 30 days before they are published, or you already have a scheduled date for the review, sometimes you […]

Well, since I’m not done with the current book I’m reading, and even if I do finish it today, I can’t review it till my scheduled day on the blog tour, Thursday, I needed to find something to blog about since my goal was to blog every day this summer.  So this week I’m joining […]

I hadn’t heard about this book until I listened to the author at a YA Panel at the RT Convention this past May.  It was a panel on tough issues, which this definitely is one.  So once she talked about it, I had to buy it.  And I was not disappointed.  As with the other […]

First I must say thanks to Netgalley and Scholastic for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  I really liked the first book in the series, and the second one kind of had the sophomore slump, but was still good.  This final book in the trilogy started kind of slow, but once we […]

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 chosen a book that I know a lot of other blogs posted as soon as the cover was released, and so I may be a bit behind.  But it is by an […]
