I adored this. I will admit that I read this before I read Ask Again Later (despite the fact that I actually got it before Top Ten), but I had it on good authority that Ask Again Later was awesome and, quite frankly, I was ridiculously excited to read Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless. The title alone! I can’t really say that it was the romance that got to me or the plot line that got to me–it was the characters. Each of […]
THREE YEARS. That’s how long I’ve been blogging. And holy shit it was absolutely AMAZING and hopefully they’ll be more blogoversaries to celebrate (we’ll see. If anything there’ll be a coblogger who can help me celebrate, but TIS NOT A DAY FOR SAD TIDINGS) SO SO SO I’VE LOVED AND I’VE LOST THROUGH BLOGGING. I’ve made so many amazing author and blogger (and reader!) friends and while I’m not in contact with some anymore (SHREYA AND EILEEN I MISS Y’ALL) I ABSOLUTELY ADORE […]
First of all, this cover is absolutely gorgeous. I love it! I’ve been dying for this since I saw the cover (instant cover lust!) and decided to just buy an ebook in April! And I loved it! First off, I have to say just how unexpected it was, and that’s actually pretty rare when it comes to contemporary! Honestly, there was no way I could’ve really predicted anything. It was completely mind blowing and Stephanie Lawton definitely knew how to throw me for a loop! […]
(This is less of an actual musings thing and more of a Just for Fun thing. Meh) SO GUYS. Since it’s NaNoWriMo month I was like…why don’t I share my writing? And then I was like “HA NO” soooo why not share something I wrote when I was 12 for a contest (It was for a 2012 Breathless Reads slipcase I think? I just know that Jessica Khoury hosted it and we had to pick a pin from her bored and write a […]
Guys I was so excited for this. First of all, it had Hafsah’s endorsement (and her cover on it!) and I absolutely adored Across the Universe when I first read it. Beth Revis is one hell of an author and y’all know I’m always in the mood for amnesia stories (or I was. It’s starting to get a bit old for me…). When I started it, I had high expectations. I wanted it blow me away and with all these great reviews I […]
Self-portrait: Girl crawling into book with obsessive eyes. Holy shit. Holy holy holy shit. No matter what I expected, I didn’t expect the simple masterpiece that was I’ll Give You the Sun. I read The Sky is Everywhere. I liked it. But I didn’t have that absolute love that so many others had, so when people started loving I’ll Give You the Sun, I remained a bit skeptical. I was, maybe, a black sheep when it came to Nelson’s books, but I’m so happy […]
