My Thoughts: As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not much of a “holiday book” fan. I just don’t like how sappy they often get. However, I adored Marni Bates’ Awkward. It was so much fun to read. I knew Decked With Holly was a book I could make an exception for. I’m so glad I did. First things first,… Read more »
My Thoughts: Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. What a great read! I mean, the summary had me interested but I was not prepared for how totally amazing it was!! I just adored it. First of all, a story about the daughter of Sleeping Beauty? Yes, please! Bonus points because she’s a warrior… Read more »
My Thoughts: Why didn’t I pick this one up earlier?!? That summary is exactly my kind of book! Magic and assassins and intrigue… what a great combination. Ileni was an interesting and fierce character. I liked that she kept me guessing throughout the book. There were things about her and her situation that I thought… Read more »
Book One: Loki’s Wolves My Thoughts: Oh man. Odin’s Ravens, book two of The Blackwell Pages, picks right up where Loki’s Wolves left off. I love that I didn’t have to wade through pages of recap from the events in book one! It had been awhile since I’d read the first one so I was impressed with the way… Read more »
My Thoughts: As I’ve mentioned before, I am a huge fan of mythology in my stories! Retellings, continuations, gods in the modern day, all of it! So when I heard that Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong were co-authoring a middle grade series based on Norse mythology I was thrilled! I love me some Greek myths but… Read more »
My Thoughts: So, earlier in the year I failed at blogging. There are a number of great books I read that I never reviewed. Scorched by Mari Mancusi is just one of those books! A number of things drew me to this book. First, I’ve met Mari at a number of bookish events and she’s about… Read more »
Book One: Enchanted My Thoughts: I’ve been meaning to read Hero for sometime now. I adored Enchanted and was excited to see where another Woodcutter sister would take us! And of course I had to read it before Dearest (book three) comes out. However, I am terrible at keeping up with books in a series so Hero languished on my shelf, unread. Thankfully… Read more »
My Thoughts: A book from Julie Kagawa about dragons? Yes, please!!! I really love Julie’s The Iron Fey series and enjoyed The Immortal Rules. I couldn’t wait to see her take on dragons. Once I got into it, I really enjoyed Talon. However, I think I was a bit too hyped up about it to say I loved it…. Read more »
Other books in the series: Ruby Red Sapphire Blue My Thoughts: I really, really enjoy these books yet I always put off reading them. I don’t know what my problem is!! Thankfully, in November I decided that I had too many unfinished series languishing on my TBR pile. I decided to finish at least on… Read more »
My Thoughts: Oy. That Kiersten White sure knows how to craft a story! All the things I loved about Mind Games remain true of Perfect Lies. The fast pace, the uncertainty, the high stakes!!! As with Mind Games, I think one of my very favorite parts of Perfect Lies is the “sister” aspect. Without spoiling book one I’ll just say that the… Read more »
