A to Z April – P: Paranormal

And it has always been one of my favorites.  For my post I’m considering books about ghosts, vampires, werewolves, angels, etc. to be considered paranormal.  I’ll share 5 of my favorite paranormal books […]

Review: Far From You by Tess Sharpe

Thanks to the Disney Summer of Chills for sending me an ARC of this title.  I can say for sure that Disney’s books they’re promoting with this are so far all winners from what I’ve read, and I actually haven’t even read the one I was most excited about! I believe this is the author’s […]

A to Z April – O: Old Books

My post for today isn’t necessarily about an actual book that itself is really old, but about classics.  I sometimes feel that I didn’t really read that many classics when I was in high school compared to what I hear about on tv shows with high school students, or read about in books.  But who […]

Review: After the End by Amy Plum

First thanks to HarperTeen and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  Now I’ve only read the first book in Amy Plum’s other series, Die For Me, but I did really like it.  So, when I saw this available on Edelweiss, I decided to request it.  This wasn’t too bad.  I […]

A to Z April – L: Listening

Another short post today.  I chose listening, as in audio books.  I’m not an expert in this area. Honestly I think I’ve only listened to two books all the way through.  And I’m not really a fan of it.  You see, I can read much faster than the time it takes to listen.  But you […]
