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 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…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (6/23/14)
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! I was given a copy of Fires of Man by Dan Levinson himself, and reviewed it on the blog as part of his blog tour. I’ll be posting a guest post of his tomorrow as well! I read Gone Girl as a buddy read with one of my author friends on BookLikes :). Thank goodness for that. I…

Waiting on Wednesday (6/4/2014)
“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. Okay I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the only one waiting on this book. To all the Throne of Glass fans out there, waiting for Heir of Fire is like trying to avoid a giant bar of chocolate sitting on the table. It’s nearly impossible I tell you! I got super lucky to get approved for it on NetGalley, but since it doesn’t release until September I’m too scared to start it yet. I’ll have to…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (4/21/14)
Click above to join in the fun! I just realized how long it has been since I’ve participated in this meme! I used to do it pretty regularly, because I love finding new books on others’ shelves. So, I’m participating today! I think I’ll try to keep this going at least twice a month. It’s a fun way to interact with fellow bookworms. So, without further ado, here’s what’s going on in this bookworm’s reading life. I was reading The Rosie Project with my book club, and I loved it so much that I didn’t manage to stick to the…

“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. The book that I’m most looking forward to right now is The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey. This is the second book in The Fifth Wave series and I’m so excited for it to come out! I finished the last book with my mouth gaping open. I absolutely need to know what happens next. Alas, it doesn’t release until September. So I’ll have to keep waiting :). How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of…

The Dreaded DNF: And…Discuss!
And…Discuss is a way for me to share a topic I’ve been thinking about, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. An open forum for bookaholics! What I love most about these posts is seeing your comments, so share away :). This time the topic is… I’ve mildly touched on this subject here before, but it’s been a few years and my opinions have changed! It used to be that I couldn’t bring myself to mark a book as DNF. I’d struggle through, even when I wasn’t enjoying myself. Why? I can’t really…
