Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop!
Tweet Hi everyone hopping and following! Welcome! If you happen to follow my humble little blog here, please leave a comment so I can follow you back! What is the most scene in a book that you have read lately? Oh man. Hands down, the book Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz wins for emotional scenes! I can’t spoil, but let’s just say that the family in that book just can’t catch a break and near the end something happens that just…AH! Breaks your heart in two. I think I sobbed through the last 150 pages of that book. Get a box…

The Fanatic Report – Week of 2/28 to 3/6
I really need to make a new button for this, but since I haven’t had time to do this feature in…well months…I just never got around to it. However it’s coming back! I’ll have a new button next week. The Fanatic Report is a collection of all things happening on the blog from the week before and the week to come. It’s also a bevy of random things I’ve found, things I think are cool, and the like. In other words, it’s utter chaos. ENJOY! *** In case you missed it: 2/28 – I reviewed The Midnight Tunnel: A Suzanna Snow Mystery by…

Random Books: The Storm Edition
I haven’t done this in a while, but I finally have a day to myself and I missed this feature :). Basically this is a feature where I pick 3 books that fit a theme, and then share them with you. *** Today’s theme is storms! (Since one just passed over us with a vengeance.) *** Orokos is a city of chaos, lashed by probability storms that re-order the world wherever they strike. It covers every inch of the rocky island that it dominates. It has stood for so long that history has forgotten it, and its citizens no longer question…

As always, many thanks to Kristi at The Story Siren for hosting! For Review: The Healing Spell by Kimberley Griffiths Little Broken Birds, The Story of My Momila by…

“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we share upcoming releases that we just cannot wait for! A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together. Deep in the stacks of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery…
