This year I started a weekly post called Coming Soon on HDB… to help myself honest during the week. It has definitely helped, but in 2013 I really want to crack down on scheduling reviews, giveaways and discussion posts. That way if life gets in…

Books I Missed in 2012
To continue with the year end wrap up, let’s take a look at books that I missed in 2012! These are books I really wanted to read but that were overshadowed by review copies. In no particular order, here are the top 5 I’m planning on catching up on in 2013! Iron Hearted Violet by Kelly Barnhill I have three words for you: DRAGON RIDING PRINCESS Yup. I fully admit that the cover drew me to this book, and then I read the synopsis and instantly fell in love. I’m a huge fan of Middle Grade books, and especially ones…
