First, let me thank both Edelweiss and especially St. Martin’s Griffin for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. Now, can I start telling you how much I loved this book?! I have to say what an awesome way to end a series! There was action, there was still romance, there were twists […]
Thanks to HarperCollins Children’s Books and Epic Reads, I won this ARC from a contest in the Shelf Awareness email newsletter. I haven’t read a lot of Neil Gaiman books, American Gods was one that I read and did really like though. So I knew that I was interested in this. The really cool thing […]
Can I just say, WOW? Why in the world have I waited so long to read yet another ARC that was sitting on my shelf since before it was published? I mean this came out in September 2011, so I got the ARC before then, and it sat on my shelf. I’d only wanted it […]
This is a book that I’ve seen bouncing around the Book Blogosphere for awhile now. I was very excited to get a copy of it at BEA this summer. It’s not signed, and I didn’t get to meet the author unfortunately. And I put it off reading until I got the list of the […]
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was lucky enough to get a copy of this at BEA this year. When I first saw the cover, I did a bad thing, I judged it. And not that the cover isn’t really neat looking, it just didn’t look […]
First I have to thank both Netgalley and Angry Robot publisher for allowing me to read this e-galley in June. I was intrigued right from the description because the story is based on the mystery of Roanoke. Something that has always fascinated me. There have been many theories over time, of course first is that […]
As always I’d like to thank the people who made it possible for me to read an advanced copy of this. I was fortunate enough to walk into work at Barnes and Noble and see this sitting on the break room table. As I had fallen in love with the Trylle series by Amanda Hocking, […]
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi My rating: 5 of 5 stars First, I have to say, WOW!! Why didn’t I read this when I first got the ARC at the bookstore where I work back in October? How stupid am I? This book was sooooo good. I think I waited because at first I was […]
Pure by Julianna Baggott My rating: 4 of 5 stars I saw this ARC on the table at the Barnes & Noble where I work, and at first didn’t think it could be YA as big of a book as it was. But I picked it up and read about it, and thought it sounded […]
I got this book as an advanced reader’s copy back in October, right before the author was coming to our bookstore to do a signing. I didn’t get to go to the signing because it was right when our parent teacher conferences are, so didn’t feel the urge to pick it up and get it […]
