Hi lovelies! A few months back I was very lucky to have read Tin Star by Cecil Castellucci a few months back and totally LOVE IT. If you missed my gushing review you can check it out here. If you’ve already read the review you know how absolutely thrilled I must be to have MS. […]
I used to not read a lot of contemporary. Actually, except for Sarah Dessen (who is one of those authors who I will read anything from, no matter what it is), I don’t think I read any contemporary at all. I’m not much of a romance fan, and contemporary just always seemed like a lot […]
Strengths: The narration of Seraphina was quite enjoyable. I actually picked the audiobook up from the library last year and ended up returning it, so I was happy to finally finish that process, haha. Seraphina is full of creativity and interesting ideas. Seraphina the character has a mental garden that she must maintain in order […]
I think I’ve learned a lot in the 1.5 years I’ve been blogging, and I’m really happy with where I am now!

The evolution of my blog Visually My blog has changed a great deal in my 2 years of blogging. First of all, it started out as Auntie Spinelli Reads, and is now Novel Heartbeat. That’s one of the biggest changes. My design has also changed – many, many times! I get bored very easily, so […]
First off I have to say thanks to Octavia for having me on her blog. I was truly honored when she asked me to be a part of her ONE YEAR!!! So thanks lady 😉 I’m still considered a newbie blogger, I think. I just hit my 3 month mark on November 3rd and it’s […]
