Henge by Realm Lovejoy My rating: 3 of 5 stars I received this ebook from the author for an honest review. Thank you so much. I love being introduced to new authors and stories and love the opportunity to share my opinions. While I love alternate universes and Arthurian legend, this was a bit hard […]

Last year I had the pleasure of winning a signed copy of The Bone Season from Tor.Com. I had no clue what I was getting into when I received it. I had never heard of it before. But once I dived in, I could barely come up for air. Because I took part in last year’s […]

I’m postponing my #WriteMotivation Update post until Friday in lieu of  The Bone Season Blog Tour. If you don’t know what #WriteMotivation is, well, we are a small group of writers (growing more each month) that loves to chuck positive messages, cookies and Dinos, and cheer their fellow author on in both good and bad […]

Crucible of Gold by Naomi Novik My rating: 3 of 5 stars Overall the book was spot on. Good progression in the series, and good story. There are a few issues I’ve been having lately with her books, though, and that’s her long drawn out main plot. The earlier books have a lot of action […]

This week is Merry Farmer‘s Birth-week. And in celebration, she is offering her first Historical Romance in the Loyal Series up for free. You can read my review below.

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins My rating: 3 of 5 stars *SPOILER ALERT!* After finishing this book yesterday, I am still fuming. I feel cheated by the ending. Why is it that authors of series, good series, tend not to know when to end the book? Look at JK Rowlins, she could have left the Epilogue […]

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve overcome my problems with reading the first person present POV. I’ve felt every twisting, confusing thought that plagued Katniss. I felt what Ms. Collins intended me to feel about each and every other character through the eyes of Katniss. Although, I am still […]
