Winter by Marissa Meyer

 WINTER is here!What an amazing conclusion to an epic series! WINTER is the book I've been waiting for all year and it didn't disappoint. With over 800 pages, it did take me a few weeks to complete, but it was definitely worth it. With The Lunar Chronicles, Marissa Meyer has created a wonderful futuristic world and each novel is a reimagining of a well known fairytale. WINTER is slightly based off Snow White but this is definitely not the typical...

"When I'm not writing" with Lauren Smith

Today we're hosting Lauren Smith, who has a brand-new Christmas paranormal romance out today!  (Can you believe it's already time to read Christmas-y books?!?) Like most writers who love what they do, I think about writing all day.

At these times, I’m usually cooking...

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Little Brother is a scarily realistic dystopian novel that probably everyone in North America should read.  (Maybe only a slight exaggeration there.)  The book is set in what could be current times.  There's no date mentioned, making it nearly timeless, and all the social customs and technology match up with what we have now.  That's what makes it scary:  what happens to Marcus (the main character) and his friends...

Accidental Abduction by Eve Langlais

I wasn't sure if I should review this book for the blog or not, but honestly, since I got hooked in the first few minutes, I decided it might be worth sharing. For a sci-fi romance, it's highly entertaining and has so many laugh out loud moments. The characters are very enjoyable with their intense chemistry and snappy conversations.It all begins with Megan about to drown in the open water, who was left there by her boyfriend, planning to kill her...

Mistborn: The Final Empire (Book 1) by Brandon Sanderson

Usually, when somebody writes about elements and magic, they are referring to earth, water, air and fire.  For Vin Kelsier and other allomancers, they mean elements like iron, copper and gold as well as their alloys.  Allomancers use these metals to perform particular types of magic in the world created by Brandon Sanderson in Mistborn: The Final Empire.This world can be either exciting and wonderful...

Blood Bath & Beyond by Michelle Rowen

 I didn’t realize when I picked up this book that it was actually a spin-off from a previous series. It wasn’t until after a few chapters that I realized the characters were too well established for this to be considered a new series. I’m a stickler for reading books in order so I’m usually really careful but I guess I was fooled by the “First in a new series” stamp on the cover of the book. But quite honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary to...
