This is one of the books I actually paid for at the Romantic Times Convention Book Fair last Saturday. I was lucky enough to get the first one that I’d read as an e-galley, Eve, at the Avon Red Slipper party the night before for free. And then, I got the third and final book […]
This is an ARC I received last summer at BEA, and I got to meet Ellen Datlow, one of the editors! I started reading it in February, put it in my master bathroom, for when I took bubble baths. And then I finished the last few stories on Saturday finally. It’s not that it was […]
First I must say thank you to Chronicle Books and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. This was a good ghost story. The main character is Paige, who has recently died from falling off the roof of her school. She wakes up and can’t leave the school grounds, in fact, […]
This week my Stacking the Shelves post hosted by Tynga’s Reviews will be not only about all the books I got the past two days at the Romantic Times Convention, but also some stories about the convention itself. I’ll share the books first, then the stories after. The picture above shows the books I was […]
I’ve been interested in reading this book for a long time. Of course it has such a pretty cover, so that pulled me in at first. Then I heard lots of great reviews of it. I guess there are negative ones out there, but I didn’t see them. And I don’t plan to go look […]
So, as I mentioned before, I’m going to participate in one of these giveaways sponsored by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer each month. Since May is so busy, I decided to get this done at the beginning. For the Spring Fling giveaway hop, I’m giving away your choice of a $12 gift card […]
Thanks to BenBella Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read this. I guess it isn’t that new of a book, looks like it’s been out for awhile, but it was available so I asked to read it because it sounded pretty good. It wasn’t bad, kind of predictable, but again, not bad. The main […]
A few years ago, when I really got into losing weight, and lost about 35-40 pounds, and I was actually at a weight that would have been easy to manage, and I was walking 20 miles a week, I was in a diet/weight loss memoir book obsession. I would even search the book database whenever […]
Okay, I need to talk to people who will understand, I think, what has got me so irritated at the moment. Now, I know many of my readers are NOT Twilight fans, and probably hate it with a seething passion. But I know many others of my readers are fans of the story, or if […]
I was lucky enough to win a copy of this from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and once again it was through a Shelf Awareness Giveaway! The premise at first didn’t “grab” me, but I knew that as I had loved Beautiful Creatures by both Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, I would probably love […]
