    Author Interview – Dora Lee Thompson

    Please welcome Dora Lee Thompson, the author of Pocket of Guilt. I’m was very excited to interview her, as her book is one that is unique to my reading tastes! I’ll be reviewing it tomorrow, but today please enjoy reading her interview answers. 1. Jessica: This book was a new experience for me, in that it discussed how LDS teens were affected by World War II. What inspired you to write about this rather unique subject matter? Dora: Some of the events in Pocket of Guilt were inspired by the true adventures of my friend, Ralph Hechtle, who lived in…

    If you’ll notice, I currently have no navigation bar or header!

    Book Review: Tears of a Vampire Prince

    Cover Inspection: I’m quite smitten with the man on the cover. Isn’t he dreamy? First Thoughts: This is one sad vampire. *** My Review: Let me begin this review by explaining that I received this novella for review without reading the companion novel, Golden Healer, Dark Enchantress first. Therefore I had to keep an open mind while reading. The story skips around a lot between points of view, and I know that if I had read the first book it would have filled in the missing pieces nicely.  Plenty of information about the origin of Aaryn and his lovely Krystine are…

    Good afternoon my dear readers! Today I’m quite happy to give my blog over to the lovely, and very talented, Christine Schulze!  She is the author of numerous books and novellas, including Bloodmaiden which I posted a review of yesterday. Later today I will also be sharing my review of one of her upcoming books, Tears of a Vampire Prince. 1) I always like to start my interviews with a challenge! If you had to describe yourself in a tweet, only 140 characters, what would you say? C. E. Schulze is a master of creating unique worlds, deep, quirky characters, and…

    Book Review: Bloodmaiden

    Zale. Gauthier. Varden. These three dynasties… They all sound like something out of an ancient, oriental myth or fairy tale. The concept of humans and dragons helping and living in harmony with one another, without fear. To me, that’s exactly what they are. A distant dream only read of, whispered secretly, quietly yearned for. For, you see, I am the new Quelda of Tynan. These words echo the mystery, horror, and romance found within Schulze’s fantasy novel. Along with her new husband, Chalom, Crislin must choose to embrace cruel tradition, run from it, or stand against it. The young couple’s…

    Movie Review: Tangled

    Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Absolutely adorable. If I had to describe Tangled in one word, it would be: delightful! This movie was sweet, it was funny, it was just an all around good time. Even my boyfriend, who I have to drag to animated movies most times, was sitting next to me laughing hysterically at the screen. Disney hit it out of the park…

    Blog Tour – Book Review: I Know It’s Over

    PURE. UNPLANNED. PERFECT. Those were Nick’s summer plans before Sasha stepped into the picture. With the collateral damage from his parents’ divorce still settling and Dani (his girl of the moment) up for nearly anything, complications are the last thing he needs. All that changes, though, when Nick runs into Sasha at the beach in July. Suddenly he’s neck-deep in a relationship and surprised to find he doesn’t mind in the least. But Nick’s world shifts again when Sasha breaks up with him. Then, weeks later, while Nick’s still reeling from the breakup, she turns up at his doorstep and…

    Blog Tour – Author Interview: Sarah Ockler

    Today I’m happy to welcome the very talented Sarah Ockler to my blog! Sarah is the author of Twenty Boy Summer and the upcoming, sure to be a smash, Fixing Delilah! I had the opportunity to interview her, but I’ll stop rambling and let her take it away. 1. If you had to come up with a slogan for Fixing Delilah, what would it be? I think the tagline on the book cover encapsulates the story really well: “Family. It’s not always a perfect fit.” That’s something Delilah has to accept as she uncovers some of the long-buried secrets about the…

    A filler (and slight harassment) post.

    Yes, this is a filler post! As you read this, I’m probably somewhere on the 5 Freeway. I’m most likely reading a book while trying not to get motion sickness. Chances are that I’m sick of fast food at this point. Also, I’m probably really looking forward to getting home so that I can get out of the car and stretch. Does anyone actually like really long car trips? Anyhow, since I’m not home yet, this is a post to remind you that you should check out the posts before this! By now I’ve posted: A GIVEAWAY and a trailer…
