    Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday! August 13th

    This week’s question is: How many books do you have on your ‘TBR shelf’? Ummm….well….I have NO idea! It’s more like a TBR bookcase really. If I had to make a guess I’d wager it’s probably over 100! I know that’s actually pretty good compared to most people, but I’ve been doing my best not to buy books anymore so that I can start reading my own books. I can’t help it really. Books call my name, I answer. You know the drill ya’ll!  If you stop by to come say hi, please do me a favor and leave me…

    Waiting on Wednesday (9)

    “Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we share upcoming releases that we just cannot wait for! Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I’m not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I’m usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven’t gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents’ research trip in Charleston—and now I’m being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and…
