Stacking the Shelves #4
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! Not necessarily books I bought – also includes books I borrowed, was given or otherwise ended up with. Weeks where I don’t buy books I’ll scramble around my shelves and find some books I READ MORE
Top Ten Tuesday: Things On My Bookish Wishlist
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Things On My Bookish Wishlist.” This, apparently, means thigns I wish I could make authors write about. Could be an issue, a time period, a type of character… whatever. Man, I have NO idea where to start with this one. READ MORE

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten 2014 Debuts I’m Excited For.” I had to do some research for this one, so thanks a lot to the ladies at The Broke and the Bookish – my TBR list just tripled! 1. Hexed (The Witch Hunter #1) by READ MORE
BOOK REVIEW | SONGS FROM THE PHENOMENAL NOTHING – STEVEN LUNA
It’s just me and him. Him and me. A man I can’t comprehend, designated by the universe as my father but someone I prefer to call Tom, and a kid he can’t relate to but calls son anyway because he’s determined to try. I really wish he’d just call me Tyler. He probably wishes READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | GOALS/RESOLUTIONS FOR 2014
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Goals/Resolutions for 2014.” Well, first off I don’t do resolutions. I feel like it’s setting myself up to fail and I don’t like it. But because you guys asked, I’ll tell you a couple of vague things I might, possibly READ MORE
BOOK REVIEW | ONYX – JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT
Being connected to Daemon Black sucks… Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. Something worse than the READ MORE
UPCOMING RELEASE | VERONICA MARS: THE BOOK. SERIOUSLY.
Ridicule if you must, but I’ve spent a large portion of my leftover vacation days in the past week re-watching Veronica Mars. I’ve watched the show a few times now, and yet somehow I just never get sick of it. Sure, the video quality doesn’t seem great compared to new shows, and the fashion choices READ MORE
LINK-UP | 2014 READING CHALLENGES
I’m pretty sure every single reader out there has this problem: A huge stack (or stacks, in my case) of books we keep meaning to read, but don’t. Usually because a shiny new book distracts us. Yes, booklovers are basically magpies. So Bookish Blog is hosting a 2014 reading challenge to encourage us to READ MORE
2013 END OF YEAR BOOK SURVEY
I’m hopping on the 2013 End of Year Book Survey train with Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner! I gotta admit, I’m pretty excited about this one. It’s a chance for me to look back through the year and think about the best of the best. I love book surveys, and this one is a good READ MORE
BOOK REVIEW | OBSIDIAN – JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT
Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. And then he opened his mouth. READ MORE
LINK-UP | STACKING THE SHELVES #1
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! This week I got a fair few new books – partly books I’ve put off picking up from the bookstore over the holidays and partly because… well, it’s Christmas week! Here are the READ MORE
BOOKISH SURVEY | CAST AN HP SPELL – PART1
I came across this bookish survey on Flip That Page and it totally appealed to me – partly because I just love surveys, and partly because… well, Harry Potter. Because there’s no way I can explain it better than the creator of the meme, here’s what Jasmine had to say about it: “So how does READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | TOP TEN NEW-TO-ME AUTHORS I READ IN 2013
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is going to be easy, I think. Though that’ll probably end up being the proverbial famous last words! It’s the top ten new-to-me authors I read in 2013. So let’s just start out with the obvious, shall we? 1. John Green The Fault In READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY WINTER TBR LIST
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is a seasonal one – the 10 books on my winter TBR list! I’m not entirely sure what this means. Does it mean books that are cosy for warding off a winter chill? Books about winter? Christmas books? I’m not really sure, but I’ve READ MORE
