I’m so excited to share my 4th Blogoversary with all my followers, old and new!  It’s been a great year, met a lot more authors at the Romantic Times Convention that took place in my hometown of Kansas City this past May.  Finally figured out how to use Edelweiss and I got some cool e-galleys […]

First thanks to Edelweiss and Knopf Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  I’m glad to see more ghost stories these days, or at least it seems like there is more.  Although while this is a ghost story, and that is a main theme throughout the story, it […]

I got this book for a good deal at a Scholastic Book Warehouse last December, bought it the same time as I bought the first one, Bad Girls Don’t Die, which you can see by clicking the linked title that I loved!  This one was still good, but kind of seemed a bit longer and […]

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. Kind of a slow week, but that’s okay, it means less money spent!  In fact, no money spent!  On books anyway.   E-galleys from Netgalley: First is Witch Hunt by Tabitha Morrow, which sounds like […]

Thanks to Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book in June 2013.  I loved the idea of reading a book about boys who were genetically designed in a lab to be the clones of serial killers.  While I wasn’t quite sure what the […]
