The first time I read Heir of Fire I gave it 2.5 stars (here’s my first review). But I just did a reread and gave it five stars! I think this is really interesting so I want to talk a bit about why I think […]
Review: The Loneliest Girl in the Universe (when a book ends up not being what expected… at all)
I absolutely adored the first 2/3rds or 3/4ths of the story, but then it completely twisted in a new, totally unexpected direction. It wasn’t necessarily bad, it just wasn’t what I expected.
I still haven’t finished these 8 series – which ones are worth finishing?
I have a bad habit of reading the first book in a series when it first comes out, LOVING it, but then never keeping up with the series when the next books come out. It’s just so hard to remember how much you loved the […]

Eye Candy by Jessica Lemmon
What I liked There was a lot I liked about Eye Candy: Office romance. Two characters with a tough relationship history (both divorced). I liked the characters a lot both individually and on their own. I looove the whole “friends become lovers” trope. And just […]
The 6 books I didn’t finish, followed by the one I finally did!
I just had the worst reading slump of my life. It went so far beyond any others I’ve had before. Imagine conversations like this: Me: *sobbing* THERE ARE NO BOOKS IN THE WORLD!! THERE’S NOTHING TO READ! *sobbing* I HATE EVERYTHING! Husband: What about the […]
Review: Wired by Julie Garwood
Despite being part of a series, Wired can be read as a standalone. Man, this book was a huge letdown for me. I had high hopes since I’m a coder and I thought a coding/FBI/romance/thriller book just sounded AMAZING. But it wasn’t what I hoped […]
