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. When I first came across the synopsis for The Daylight Marriage I was immediately intrigued. With a recommendation from Stephen King about it being a page turner I clearly had to add this to my TBR and now I’m anxiously awaiting it’s release in May 2015. “A page-turning exploration of unexpressed love and unnecessary loss. Riveting and heartbreaking.” —Geraldine Brooks Hannah was the kind of woman who turned heads. Tall and graceful, naturally pretty, often impulsive, always spirited, the upper-class…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (10/6/14)
Click above to join in the fun! Let the countdown begin! It’s the last week before I go on vacation and I couldn’t be happier! Well, except maybe if I won a million dollars. Here’s my week in reading. I was browsing the library shelves last week and one of the displays was books about unicorns! Okay, so I’m 30 and I still love unicorns. What’s wrong with that? I grabbed Into The Land of Unicorns on a whim. Final verdict? Young Jessica, the Jessica who this book was intended for, would have loved the heck out of this. I only…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (9/22/14)
Click above to join in the fun! Good news? I have three more weeks left until my vacation. It’s my hope that it’ll pull me out of this existential funk I currently find myself in. Bad news? It’s still three weeks away. LOL. Ah, Monday. You never cease to make me pout. It was a good reading week though! Here’s what I devoured, and what’s on deck. Last week I finished reading some more of the NetGalley ARCs I had piling up. I’m trying to cull them into submission, since my clicking finger goes a little crazy sometimes :). The…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (9/15/14)
Click above to join in the fun! Is it really Monday again already? Sigh. The weekends are just never long enough, I tell you. That, and I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump again. Hopping between books, just trying to find something to hold my attention. I made it through 3 of the books I’ve flitting between last week. Solomon’s Whisper is the fifth book in Sandra Brannan’s Liv Bergen Mystery Series! I love Liv with all my heart. While this wasn’t my favorite book in the series so far, I did enjoy it. I also finished The Swallow:…

And…Discuss! Adding to Mount TBR.
Whoa, I just looked back into my records and realized that I haven’t done one of these posts since December of last year! It’s been a tough year for the blog. I went from working at a job where I had tons of free time, to one where I’m busy pretty much constantly. It’s also been a year of flux and, well, unfortunately my blog has to take a back seat when real life gets crazy :). That’s life. ================================================================== On to the discussion! This time the topic is… ADDING TO MOUNT TBR! All around the internet, from Twitter to…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (8/25/14)
Click above to join in the fun! Another Monday, another set of books to devour! I didn’t blog at all last week, as you may have noticed. We’re downsizing at the end of this week at work, and these last few days have felt like they fly by. So much work, so many loose ends to tie up. It’s pretty insane. So I’m taking a break to do what I love. I missed you guys. Last week was Bout of Books and, although I was laid up in bed with a cold most of the weekend, I did get…

Waiting on Wednesday (8/6/14)
“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. Can we please just take a minute to sigh over this cover? *pauses for effect* I have a huge case of cover love for Winterkill, but the synopsis sealed this for me as a TBR pile addition. It sounds like a book that’s right up my alley, and I can’t wait to devour it! Winterkill releases September 9, 2014. Emmeline knows the woods outside her settlement are forbidden. The mysterious enemy that wiped out half her people lurks there,…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (7/21/14)
Click above to join in the fun! Well, it’s Monday. That means a new week of many things, but I choose to focus on the fact that it means a new week of reading! After all, I like to look for the positive parts of life. Last week was a busy week. On top of the books pictured above, I also finished two other novellas, a graphic novel, and sent two books to the DNF shelf. I’ve been working to catch up on my backlog of reading material :). Tim Curran’s Blackout garnered 5 stars from me, for being really…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (7/14/14)
Click above to join in the fun! It’s a new week, and that means it’s time to share what I’m reading! I love this meme, because it’s a ton of fun to discover new books from other’s book shelves :). Let’s do this! Last week I finished up three reads that were across the board! First off, Unwept wasn’t quite what I was expecting it to be. It was… odd. Death’s Academy was funny, and a great book for middle grade readers! As for The Naturals, it was my favorite of the week. So good! I love books about serial killers,…

Waiting on Wednesday (7/2/14)
“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 finally has a cover! I’ve been waiting eagerly for Lauren Oliver’s new book to pop up with a cover so that I could choose it for Waiting on Wednesday. Rooms looks like it’s going to be a book that’s right up my alley, and everyone knows that I already have a ton of love for Lauren Oliver anyhow. Argh, I can’t wait for this to release! WANT! The New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and…
