Review: Taking the Heat by Victoria Dahl

Posted January 15, 2016 by Wendy in Reviews / 1 Comment

My Thoughts: I enjoyed this one! Veronica is a very relatable character. Everyone thinks she has everything together but inside she has a lot of insecurities and concerns and feels like she can’t show anyone who the real her is, not even her closest friends. Then she meets Gabe. Gabe is the sexy librarian you wish your library had! He’s super sweet, adventurous and loves the outdoors. He rock climbs, volunteers at the fire station and is all around just […]

Review: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Why Did I Read? I’m a big fan of time travel books and so of course, the sound of this one hooked me in! My Thoughts: I am all about time travel and historical fiction so Passenger seemed to be the perfect fit for me! For the most part, I really enjoyed this one!

Audiobook Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Posted January 7, 2016 by Wendy in Reviews / 7 Comments

The Sound: It’s Fiona Hardingham and Steve West. Apparently I listened to three audiobooks in a row narrated by Fiona and two of them also had Steve West. THEY ARE AMAZING. Seriously. Love them. The Story: This is my first Maggie Stiefvater book! And now I know I need to read all her books! I thought the writing in The Scorpio Races was beautiful and I adored the story! I’m a big horse person. I loved horses as a kid and […]
