Meet Karolina from Bookshelf Reflections
A couple of months ago, an email landed in my inbox from Karolina asking if I’d be willing to let her interview me for her blog. Totally flattered, I agreed – on the condition that she’d let me interview her, too! We exchanged lists of questions, and spent (well, I did, anyway) a very long READ MORE

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Almost Put Down But Didn’t
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Books I Almost Put Down But Didn’t.” I really need to start working on these sooner so I give myself more time to think about my answers. 1. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton I think if this hadn’t been so READ MORE

Stacking the Shelves #20
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews!

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Books Book Covers I’d Frame as Pieces of Art.” Normally I worry about finding enough to hit 10. Not this time. I’m pooling all the TTTs I’ve missed, all the times I only made it to 7 or 6 or READ MORE
THE SUNDAY REVIEW | ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS – STEPHANIE PERKINS
*** NOTE: Occasionally I read a YA book that causes me to feel the need to point out that, while I read and review a lot of YA books on this blog, I am, in fact, no longer a young adult. Most of the time this has little bearing on my enjoyment of YA READ MORE

Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2014
I seem to have picked up the pace this month! Which, quite frankly, is a relief. Last Saturday was Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, so that certainly helped me plow through a few books – a couple of shorter ones, but hey, they count! I’d say the real high point for me this month was The READ MORE

Top Ten Tuesday: Books If You Like X TV Show/Movie
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Books If You Like X TV Show/Movie/Comic/Play etc.” I get to pick what “X” represents. Because I’m pathologically bad at decisions and because I want EVERYTHING all at once, I’m going to do a few different things with this post. Here READ MORE

Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives.

It’s Readathon Time!
It’s time for the Spring 24 Hour Readathon! This will be my second Readathon – and I’m hopeful that I’ll do slightly better than the first time around! My first Readathon (last fall) was a bit of a gong show. Not only was it my first, but I didn’t find out about it until the READ MORE
