Picture this: you leave the bookstore or library with a huge pile of pretty, new books that you just can’t wait to read. A few days later you open one up.. and you just can’t get into it. So you pick up the second book… and the same thing happens. You just can’t seem to get invested in...
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope your holidays are filled with peace, love, family, friends & (of course) lots of good books!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed something interesting about the way I tend to react to love triangles – or, more specifically, the “choices” involved in the love triangle.

So I figured what better way to determine what changes I want to make in terms of my blogging and reading life and to hold myself...

Negative reviews are the most difficult kind of reviews for me to write. Not only do I want to avoid offending anyone (like the author, if they are to see it), but it can be hard to come up with any redeeming/positive points if I really disliked a book. While I may not enjoy writing negative reviews for those reasons, I absolutely...
