Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event sponsored by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve chosen a book that I am eagerly awaiting for many reasons. Not just that I loved the 1st book, but that I got to meet the author last Friday […]
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson My rating: 4 of 5 stars So I’ve been a fan of Maureen Johnson since I first began following her on Twitter. I even got her to reply to me one time, a long time ago though. I hadn’t read her books yet, just knew her name […]
Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly event that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers and it is hosted by Parajunkee and Allison Can Read. This week’s question is: In light of 11/11/11 and Veteran’s Day, tell us about your favorite soldier and how he or she is saving the world. […]
The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman My rating: 4 of 5 stars I got this book from Netgalley, and am so glad I did! I’m a huge fan of Robin Wasserman’s books because of the Skinned series, which I think is now called the Cold Awakening series. But anyway, this is a […]

I’m a huge fan of Beth Revis, I loved her debut novel Across the Universe. She is having this awesome contest in honor of Thanksgiving by asking fans to post about their favorite titles and the winner will receive all 19 of the signed books listed, as well as some awesome swag! So I decided […]
The Other Side of Dark by Sarah Smith My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. It is not really historical fiction, but it goes back and does get into some history and it is a ghost type story as well. In a way it reminds me just a little bit of […]
The Book Blogger Hop is sponsored by Jen at Crazy For Books. Just read at her site that this will be the last one of these for a while. So sad! But I understand, it does take a lot of time I’m sure to do all of this, as I know I’ve not been able […]
Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler My rating: 5 of 5 stars I actually really liked this book. I think the subject of anorexia is one that is very overlooked sometimes. I liked the irony in a girl who was anorexic being in charge of famine. I liked that the other riders, Death, War, and Pestilence, […]
