A mere two years ago, there was a little, literary fox who had gone to a book signing for a friend. And at that same signing, the fox met an author that has, for two years straight, rocked her little foxy sox off! Indeed, dear reader….I was that fox. The author was none other than […]
A few years ago I read – no – I devoured historical fiction. Actually it was all I ever read. And of course, the Tutor Era was one of my favorite ones to dive in. Sadly, I haven’t read lots of Young Adult historical fiction, so when I got the chance to read Brazen I […]
My Thoughts: Have you ever started reading a book and felt like you were dropped right in to the middle of the story, even though you were reading the first chapter? Felt like you somehow missed a set of books before the one you were trying to read, so you felt so out of the […]
Among all these contemporary books filled with angst, I so often enjoy a good murder mystery – so I picked up The Secrets of Lily Graves by Sarah Strohmeyer in hopes to find an engaging murder mystery that keeps me entertained! Strange Edgy Setting & Interesting Characters Relations Lily is actually a pretty memorable character, which […]

Happy Friday, and welcome to the latest installment of our feature. I finally got a library card (it only took me a little over a decade to do it since I moved here). As I perused the selections looking for an ebook or audiobook to borrow, Holly Black’s middle grade horror novel Doll Bones caught […]
Audiobooks are not for everyone, but I just love them! They let me add in extra reading time when I usually would not be able to read. Like in the car, doing laundry or when I’m relaxing in the bath (gosh that I love the most!). So here are a few of my recent audiobooks […]
I’ve been waiting for BEA 2014 to begin since last year, or rather more closely since the beginning of the year and couldn’t wait for it to be here. It’s been my 4th year and even though I pretty much knew what to expect I am still completely amazed by the event. Danny’s BEA Highlights […]
My Thoughts: I’ve really enjoyed Jessica Sorensen’s books so far, especially The Coincidence series. I have the next books available preordered for my kindle, and I eagerly dug into book #4, the second one focusing on Luke and Violet. This one picks up a few months after the previous book left off, and Violet and […]
My Thoughts: For Ruby, Alexis, and Nick, their first call out as part of Portland County’s Search and Rescue (SAR) not only means a chance for them to help find lost hikers, but it unwittingly puts them in the path of a serial killer when they discover a dead body in the woods instead of […]
My Thoughts: Owen and Lucy get stuck in the elevator of their upscale apartment building during the blackout that cripples the East Coast. They couldn’t be from two more different worlds. Lucy’s lived their her entire life, attends private school, is often left alone now that her two older brothers have left for college while […]
My Thoughts: If You Stay starts off with an intense scene, setting the tone for Pax Tate’s character and state of mind as he’s doing drugs and in an intimate situation with a woman that’s there mostly for the drugs. When Pax overdoses on a cocktail of illicit substances in his car, Mila Hill happens […]
