Review: Ashfall by Mike Mullin

Review: Ashfall by Mike Mullin

Ashfall did crazy and unpredictable things to my brain. I heard nothing but great things about the book before I read it so I expected it to be good, I expected it to be different, I expected it to leave me wanting more. I didn’t expect for my emotions to be out of whack. And […]

Bring in 2013 with a favorite from 2012!

This year I have been lucky enough to read a lot of books that I have completely loved, and some that I wanted to run over with my car repeatedly. I’m sure next year will bring more great reads and more not so great reads but the one huge difference between this years reads and […]

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

I read the blurb for Three Stages of Love: Lust on NetGalley and just knew that this would be the perfect “first request” I submitted. Here you have two extremely successful people trying to get over their issues as a couple, who also happen to have some pretty steamy scenes along the way. This should have been an easy yet enjoyable […]

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

You know that feeling you get when you’re reading a book and it is so good you don’t want to put it down but you also don’t want it to end? That was me the entire time that “Bared to You” was in my hands. I started the book right before bed thinking “three chapters […]

How do YOU keep your blog organized?

I recently realized how much work and organization is needed to successfully run a blog. I didn’t assume it would be easy but I never guessed what it really took. I thought my legal pads and various sticky notes, would be enough to make everything run smoothly. Of course all that did was bury my work desk, my […]

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

I went into “Valkyrie Rising” with absolutely NO knowledge of what a Valkyrie even was. In fact the most I know about Norway is that it’s cold most of the time (strike one in my eyes). However I’m a sucker for a pretty cover and a nice blurb and “Valkyrie Rising” had both. Now don’t you go judging me. I […]
