I Haz Books!
Guess what I have: And if you guessed Jaye Wells‘ Red Headed Stepchild and The Mage in Black, you’re only half right. In fact, they are actually SIGNED Red Headed Stepchild and The Mage in Black. And no, you can’t have them. They are mine. MINE. MINE. MINE. Especially after she endeared herself to me [...]

I Should Be Writing….
But I’m not. I have crit group tomorrow. I still need to enter in the changes and print out how many copies I need. Of course, it’s so hard to tell sometimes how many I’ll need. I’ve gotten to the point where I just print out seven and hope for the best. I mean, I [...]
Books That Don't Suck: UNKNOWN by Rachel Caine
I just realized this marks my 100th post on my blog. And it’s a review. How fitting. Unknown by Rachel Caine My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’ve been waiting for this book for six months since I read the first book, UNDONE, last year. Rachel Caine is spectacular and by far, my favorite author [...]
Books That Don't Suck: FIRESPELL by Chloe Neill
Firespell by Chloe Neill My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a fantastic read. I loved how the magic only blossoms in puberty and goes away by the time the person is twenty-five unless they use other people’s souls to cheat and keep their magic. The small group of Adepts that rebels against the [...]
Books That Don't Suck: NIGHTLIFE by Rob Thurman

And because I’m incredibly lazy, I’m reposting my (short) review from Goodreads instead of writing another whole review: Nightlife by Rob Thurman My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book. I’ve been searching [...]
Spreading the Love
One of my friends from an online writing community just recently got her first cover so I thought I’d spread the joy here too. Kasey Mackenzie’s debut novel comes out in…oh, about five months. Go check out Kasey’s LJ and see the fantastic cover! I’m really hoping I get to do this stuff soon too!
Books That Don't Suck: STEELFLOWER
Yeah, so I bought this book at Barnes and Nobles the other day purely for curiosity sake of the publisher. It helped that I’m familiar with the author, (because I follow her on Twitter…yet another reason I think Twitter is the most effective promotional tool online right now) though this is the first one I’ve [...]
