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! It started off really slowly for me though. There’s a large segment in the beginning where our main character Etta goes back in time and she really […]

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 […]

Audiobook Review: Winter by Marissa Meyer

The Sound: I’ve mentioned last week in my series review of Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress how much I LOVE the narrator and that obviously has not changed. This audio book is the longest I’ve listened to. TWENTY-THREE AND A HALF HOURS. I loved every second of it and fell into such a book slump after this book because I not only missed the world and the characters but I missed their voices. Rebecca Soler is amazing. She captured each character perfectly and it definitely enhanced […]

Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Lyla Payne

Posted December 10, 2015 by Wendy in Blog Tour, Reviews / 1 Comment

My Thoughts: Now that it’s December and Christmas is mere weeks away, it’s the perfect time to curl up with some fun holiday reads! It just seems like the perfect type of read to reach toward after setting up the tree and curling up by the fire (preferably with hot cocoa!) Mistletoe and Mr. Right definitely hits the spot! The book is technically two novellas, Mistletoe and Mr. Right and Sleigh Bells and Second Chances compiled into one finished copy which is fantastic […]
