Thanks to both Kathy @ I Am A Reader and April and Kat @ My Shelf Confessions for hosting this Giveaway Hop. I am a huge fan of Dystopian stories.

Review: Earth and Sky by Megan Crewe
First thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Children’s Publishing for allowing me to read an e-galley of this. I’ve been a fan of Megan Crewe since I read the first book in The Fallen World trilogy, The Way We Fall. I’m behind in that series, still need to read the last one. But I was excited… Read more »
Review: Hereafter by Tara Hudson
I was lucky enough to get to meet this author and get her autograph on this book at the 2013 Romantic Times Convention in Kansas City. I guess I didn’t have my picture taken with her unfortunately. I did enjoy the book, although it didn’t blow me away. It was good enough that I will… Read more »

Review: Beware the Wild by Natalie C. Parker
First thanks to Edelweiss and HarperTeen for allowing me to read an e-galley of this. I have to say I enjoyed another pretty original YA story. I’m glad to be reading books that are not the same old repeat of a YA dystopia or paranormal romance or vampire story, etc. It’s nice to find something… Read more »
