Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff

Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff

A while before I started blogging I read The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff. It wasn’t highly ranked on Goodreads, I didn’t have any bookish friends to tell me to try it or anything like that. I just wandered the library and stumbled across this magnificently detailed and somehow depressing cover.   I took it […]

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love had me dying from laughter from the very start. I couldn’t stop laughing and tweeting then tweeting and laughing! I’m sure some of you are re-reading the blurb to see if you missed the part of this book being a comedy. To answer your question, no you didn’t miss it. Ugly Love was […]

Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel

Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel

I want to start this review by saying I did not finish Vivian Divine is Dead. To be perfectly honest I made it 42 pages in got annoyed, guessed the ending, flipped to the last chapter and found out my guess was right. “So why even write a review Octavia? Why bother yourself or us […]

Something absolutely adorable! And while Connectivity is indeed written by a friend my review is as unbiased as all my other reviews. Our story starts with Mary-Kate learning that the company […]

No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale

No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale

UGH! Guys. GUYS!! Why do I keep doing this to myself? I keep putting books on this pedestal that’s too high for them to even come close to reaching. It’s getting pathetic and annoying. No One Else Can Have You is THEE book that everyone is waiting on. The one that people flocked to goodreads and […]

Sick by Tom Leveen

Sick by Tom Leveen

Ugh! Who knew a book about zombies could be so BORING?! Seriously! Even when the shit started to hit the fan and the action started I was STILL bored!   I think I’ll lay blame, partially, on the back of the book which says: “The Breakfast Club meets The Walking Dead as a deadly virus […]

The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar

The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar

Alright so technically this will not be a review. This will be more of me hoping that I’ve proved my worth and that you shall believe me when I say, yes the book was good, yes you should buy it, and yes I laughed….A LOT, but most importantly there is a GENIE! So umm go […]

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy

  First, a special thank you to Alyssa for providing a copy of The Hazards of Skinny Dipping for me to review! Now, on to the book! The Hazards of Skinny Dipping was my first “New Adult” read.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Hi my honey’s! Today we’re going to do something a little different and start this review with a story. *cue flashback effects now* Once upon a time there was a girl who grew up without her father’s presence. She wasn’t bitter or damaged. She didn’t hold a grudge or stupidly believe that he would leave […]
