Book Blogger Hop! Let’s hop!
It’s that time again! WOOHOO FRIDAY! Time to share another awesome fact with you, my dear readers, and do some blog hopping. Don’t you love discovering new reads? Thanks once again to Jen at Crazy-For-Books for hosting! Don’t forget to click the button and join on in. Today’s question is: What’s the ONE super-hyped book you’ll NEVER read? Honestly? Okay, don’t throw anything at me but it’d probably have to be The Vampire Diaries series. *ducks* I know, I know. EVERYONE loves them. Plus the television show. I’ve tried picking up The Awakening twice and I just couldn’t get past the…

Book Blogger Hop: The Return
I realized the other day that I haven’t done one of these in forever! I’d been so packed with reviews and scheduled posts that I haven’t had a chance to participate in any memes at all. So I’m making a comeback. Here we go! If you could be a character from any book, who would you be? Oh my gosh, how do I answer this question! So tough. If I could be any character, I’d go with Allie from Julie Kagawa’s The Immortal Rules for so many reasons! First off she kicks some massive butt in that book. You want a…

And…Discuss! To Finish, Or Not To Finish?
It’s about that time again! Time for me to choose a topic, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. I just want to shout out a huge thank you to everyone who takes part in these discussions! I think they are a ton of fun, and I look forward to them. This time the topic is…. To Finish, Or Not To Finish? I will be the first to admit that I sometimes don’t finish books. There are just some books out there that I pick up, start to read, and can’t get into…

And…Discuss: From Book to Movie
It’s that time again! Time to do some chatting about something that’s been on my mind, and see what you all think too. This is a post that I put up when I’m ready to get some opinions. I’ll shoot my mouth off about what I think, and then leave the floor open for you! Feel free to talk it out, just remember to be kind. This time the topic is… From Book to Movie Love them or hate them, this is the new big thing at the box office. As a reader, I’m actually all for this trend! I…

And…Discuss: Spoilers in Reviews
Hi everyone! Welcome to my new sometimes post, that throws a topic out for you all to discuss. I’ll post it whenever something is on my mind, shoot my mouth off about my opinion, and then leave the floor open for you. (Yes, I’m channeling some Coffee Talk. “Grape Nuts – It contains neither grapes, nor nuts. Discuss.”) Anyway, this week’s topic is… SPOILERS IN REVIEWS Here’s my take on the matter. As a general rule they drive me nuts. This is one of the reasons I don’t read any reviews of books that I plan on reading, before I…

Here’s what this bibliophile’s week looks like! This Week’s Reviews: Slipping Reality by Emily Beaver (3/5) – An original concept that was executed fairly well! The Nightmare Garden (Iron Codex #2) by Caitlin Kitteredge (4/5) – Pretty…
