The Book Vixen is hosting a cover recreation contest! This time it’s for one of my new absolute favorite books, Nightshade, by Andrea Cremer. So of course you know I had to participate right? Here is the original book cover: and here is mine! What do you think? Yes, I know Calla doesn’t have purple hair. I took some creative license with that! I wanted her to stand out in front of the two men that she is torn over. I’m going to have to say that although it’s not perfect, this is my favorite cover that I’ve done so…

Book Review: Delirium
Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -the deliria- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love. — From Goodreads Cover…

Horror movies to DIE for!
It’s my first Halloween season on my blog! Which means that most of you probably don’t know that this is my absolute favorite holiday. Oh no, it’s not the costumes (although those are fun), it’s not even the candy (although I do eat my fair share). Nope, it’s the celebration all things creepy, gory and those that go bump in the night! I LOVE Horror movies. So much in fact that I’m fairly desensitized to most of them. That means it is only a REALLY well made and terrifying movie that can scare the pants off me. Today I thought…

Book Review: The Maze Runner
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. He has no recollection of his parents, his home, or how he got where he is. His memory is black. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade, a large expanse enclosed by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning, for as long as they could remember, the stone doors to the maze…

It’s Sunday.
I’ve been trying to finish something epic to post all day, in between catching up on chores, reading, and working on blog design projects. See the problem is, that I’m easily distracted, AND I have a ton of really good books waiting for me to read them. Also I won’t deny I’ve been a bit disappointed lately with lack of comments. However it’s a two way street and so I’ve vowed to make more comments of my own. If you comment, they will come. This is all you get from me for the moment. I’ll finish up a review to…
