Movie Review: Battle LA
This weekend the BF and I took off to the movies to see the all action, all alien flick BATTLE L.A. If you haven’t stopped by one of these posts before let me catch you up really quickly. We only go to about one or two movies a month. Our stipulation? They have to be something we REALLY want to see. Then I come share it with you! Beware: Rambling ahead. In a word, this movie was EPIC. If you are a fan of movies that might not have the best plot, but make up for it with stunning visuals,…

Book Review: The Opposite of Amber
They found the fifth girl right after the snow melted …the place where he left her was winter water, crazed with ice-feathers and dusted with snow. The traces from her body were gone, the ones that said his name, but she had an extra skin of ice that protected her and she looked perfect, like Snow White’. Ruby and her older sister Jinn live together on their own, just about making ends meet. Jinn is beautiful, with glittering blonde hair, and makes it her business to look after Ruby. They are horrified by, but try to ignore, the local newspaper…

Thanks for sticking with me.
I realize this week has been patchy and a whole lot of nothing! I’m going through a period right now where the time change, work changes, and life changes are all conspiring against me to make me want to sit around and do nothing. Well, sometimes that includes reading, but I haven’t felt up to reviewing. I’m back though! Tomorrow I’ll be posting a review of Angelology and the rest of the week is mapped out too. I’m feeling better after my week of sloth :). Hugs!

A lack of reviews….
So this week I fully intended to catch up on reviews. I’ve honestly read 4 books this week, but I haven’t been in the mood to sit down and review them. I devoured them, loved them, graded them on Goodreads and moved on. I actually think this is good for me. For a while I was in a reading funk and I finally seem to be out. Maybe because this week I didn’t have any previous commitments and so I’ve been reading what I want :). Point being, you won’t see too many reviews this week. Just randomness. I’m enjoying my freedom…
