I recently found this challenge over at Book By Book, and I thought it sounded great, especially as I found it right as I was starting a book with over 500 pages. And for this challenge, you only have to pledge to read ONE book over 400 pages. So how simple is that? This challenge […]
(Don’t You) Forget About Me by Kate Karyus Quinn My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks to Harper Teen and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this. I didn’t get to it until the day before my e-copy would expire, but it was a read that I was able to pick up […]
Top Ten Tuesday is sponsored by The Broke and The Bookish. Even though I’ve already posted a review today, I really liked the idea of this week’s Top 10 theme, so I decided to go ahead and join in. Below are my top 10 books I’ve read so far in 2014, in no particular order. Uninvited […]

The last day of BEA is usually much more relaxed. Not this year however. Book Con majorly changed that, with anywhere from 6,000-8,000 more people in the Javits Center that day. Sure, they were kept in only one part of the convention center. The only problem with that? It was the section where almost all […]
My 2nd day went much better. After I had sat down the night before and made a definite plan, I was able to avoid a lot of stress, and get pretty much my main books that I had hoped to get, or meet the authors I really wanted to meet. My day started out by […]
So, it is exactly 1 week after the first day of BEA. I guess that is a fitting day to do a recap. I thought I was planned and remembered things from when I attended 2 years ago. But let’s just say that my first day didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. I definitely […]
