Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

I received a finished hardcover of Horrorstor from the publisher for review. This does not change the contents of my review or my opinion!  When I first heard about Horrorstor, I was fairly excited to read it. I mean, a horror novel set in an IKEA-like store! Five young employees being brought together! ILLUSTRATIONS! What […]

Jackaby by William Ritter

Jackaby by William Ritter

I must admit that the pretty cover drew me to this book, just look at that cover! Gorgeous, right? And when I read the synopsis, I KNEW I had to read this one. I mean, Doctor Who meets Sherlock?! I’d be crazy to pass that up! To get rid of the suspense, I am super pleased […]

Far From You by Tess Sharpe

Far From You by Tess Sharpe

I saw this one at my local  library right when it came out and I quickly snatched it up. I’ve heard so many great things about Far From You and I’m glad that I can join the list of book pushers that will force you to read this one. Sophie’s best friend, Mina, was murdered […]

Find Me by Romily Bernard Tour & Giveaway!

Find Me by Romily Bernard Tour & Giveaway!

You know I was starting to think I was broken. That there was something absolutely wrong with my brain. I mean, I’ve read 3 books lately that the whole bookish community has pretty much lined up to sell their granny’s for and all I’ve felt was, “meh”. That has to mean something was wrong with me […]

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab was one of those books I was sure I would love. It just seemed natural. My bookish twins enjoyed it, the premise was promising, and the reviews (from those I trust) were all awe-inspiring. But it just didn’t work for me. Which irks my flipping soul because I REALLY wanted […]

Brownies and Broomsticks by Bailey Cates

Brownies and Broomsticks by Bailey Cates

Brownies & Broomsticks was exactly the palate cleansing, kind of book I needed before the Summer Lovin’ read-a-thon started. I knew going in from the blurb and the cover (yes I’m a cover judger) that this book would be light, funny, and easy to get through. And of course I was right and modest! Brownies […]

Review: The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

Review: The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

This was me at Barnes and Noble the day I picked up “The Friday Society”: Ohh what a pretty cover, but that’s not what I came here for (leaves YA section). Hmm I love this place. I wonder what radio station this is? Ohh pretty calendar. Look it’s that pretty cover again… Wait. How did I […]

Review: The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington

Review: The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington

Really? So no one is going to say it? Nobody? Ok. Fine. If you all won’t say it I guess I will be the bad guy. I didn’t like “The Dead and Buried”. There, I said it. It’s out there into the infinite universe that is the internet. I waited patiently and eagerly for “The Dead and Buried”. […]

False Memory by Dan Krokos

False Memory by Dan Krokos

Who says not to judge a book by it’s cover?! I picked up False Memory because the cover completely caught (and kept) my attention, and that’s saying something with my squirrel like attention span. It wasn’t just the close up of what I believe is a computer chip, or the two people running, or the gloomy […]
