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…

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…

“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. One of my biggest surprises this year was falling in love with The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. I chose it for our book club, on a whim, and ended up absolutely adoring it as a read! Color me a happy bookworm when I found out that there is going to be more! The Rosie Effect is out soon, and I’m excited. Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are back. If you were swept away by Graeme Simsion’s international smash hit…

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…
