BookLikes Weekly Recap (1/10/16)
Another week has come and gone. I’m still adjusting to the fact that it’s 2016, to be honest. The bright side is that it’s been an amazing 10 days of reading so far. That bodes well for the rest of this year, and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s what went on at BookLikes this week! Tuesday, January 5th * Review of Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #4 Angela and Sera meet up with The Guardians of the Galaxy. Do I need to say anything other than that? This issue was stellar! I’m a huge fan, and I’m not even sorry. * Review…

BookLikes Weekly Recap (1/3/2016)
Happy Sunday, dear bookish friends! I’m hoping that your weekend was fabulous, seeing as how the majority of you probably had a long weekend like I did. New year, new books. What’s not to love? I thought I’d kick off the year by trying my best to tie together the two locations where most of my bookish musings go. For those of you who don’t know, BookLikes is my other home. It’s the one where I post half composed musings on in progress books. The one where I put terrible book puns. Also, the one where I review every book…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (11/2/15)
Click above to join in the fun! It’s been quite a while since I’ve done one of these! I’m trying to get back on track with monitoring my reading though, so this is the perfect meme. Let’s get started! I’ve been a bit slow about reading lately, choosing to spend more of my time watching television. It happens! I go through bouts of insane reading binges, and then back to tv, and back again. I have to say though, the three reads above were all pretty great. Dream On Amber especially touched my heart. I’m in the process of reading one…

TBR Thursday (9/17/15)
So to slowly get back into the groove of blogging, I’ve decided to participate in some memes! They’re a great way to get some conversation going, and plus I haven’t really finished reading much lately. It’s a travesty… I know. Sponsored by She Is Too Fond of Books, this is a meme where you spotlight a book off your owned TBR. It can be an ebook, a physical book, or an audio book. Something that you own, but haven’t gotten to. (That’s like, everything… ha!) Told in Kvothe’s own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (7/6/15)
Click above to join in the fun! It’s been quite a while since I’ve done one of these! I’m trying to get back on track with monitoring my reading though, so this is the perfect meme. Let’s get started! I’ve been on a graphic novel and comic kick lately, so you’ll notice that two of the books I just finished fall in that category. Rounding out last week was Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone, which made me sob. It’s great. You should read it. Three very different reads going on right now. The Fold by Peter Clines was kindly sent…

Waiting on Wednesday (4/15/15)
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. It’s hosted by Breaking the Spine. *** This week I wanted to share an upcoming YA book that I am looking forward to! I am a big fan of music, especially of the country variety. I enjoy stories about musicians and their complicated life in and out of the spotlight. When I heard about Miranda Kenneally’s Jesse’s Girl I knew I had to add it to my list. Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya Henry…

Waiting on Wednesday
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. It’s hosted by Breaking the Spine. *** This week I thought I’d share a mystery/thriller that I can’t wait to get my hands on! Everything about this book sounds like things I love in a good thriller. Vigilante justice is clearly not approved by law, but at what lengths will the Scotland Yard go to find the culprit? Is there more to this criminal than meets the eye? I can’t wait to find out! While Acton and Doyle, two of Scotland Yard’s finest, pursue…

The resurrection of “And… Discuss!” – let’s talk spoilers in reviews!
Hi everyone! So as you’ve probably noticed, it’s been rather quiet this month. To fill some of that silence with good old fashioned debate, I thought I’d resurrect one of the posts that I used to do a lot when I first started this blog! In fact, I’m going to revisit all the topics that have already been done, since there’s a much larger and more diverse set of you now. Sound good? Do you have your discussion caps on? Okay, let’s do this. ================================================================= Today’s topic is: SPOILERS IN REVIEWS From a reader’s standpoint, how do you feel about…

Waiting on Wednesday (1/28/15)
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. It’s hosted by Breaking the Spine. *** This week I thought I’d share a Middle Grade book that I’m absolutely giddy over! I am, and always have been, a huge fan of fairy tales. Everything about them makes me remember what it was like to be a young reader, and fall head over heels for the magical place that books would take me. So when I saw that Sourcebooks was publishing Flunked: Fairy Tale Reform School, a book about trying to reform fairy tale…
