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…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (Feb 20)
Much love to Book Journey for hosting! Click the button to join on in. I’m sticking right to what I’ve been planning to read.

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…

As always, a huge thank you to Book Journey for hosting! Click the button to participate. Once again I finished exactly what I set out to this week.
