Why Did I Read? A paranormal NA! I was all over that! Plus, it’s Cora. My Thoughts: Kalliope, better known as Kalli, is an immortal muse and inspires people — musicians, writers, artists, etc. However, she can never become too attached to someone because then it could drive them mad. I can’t even imagine having to go through the things she does for decades upon decades! On a chance encounter, she meets Wilder. He looks business like and studious and […]

Why Did I Read? Danger and forbidden love? The synopsis sucked me right in! My Thoughts: Basically, in this dystopian-esque world, there are four different groups (also called gangs or families) that exist and they’re all kind of enemies. The two we focus on in particular are the Daggers and the Roses. I like this concept of rivalry but with the rivaling families I guess I should’ve known that it would take a Romeo and Juliet spin. Unpopular opinion: I’m […]

As you all know, I binge read the Bloodlines series like crazy (five books in four days!) and when The Ruby Circle released, I read it that night. In one sitting. And now it’s over! *cries* My Thoughts: I have to admit, when I first pulled the book out of the box I was a little distraught by how short it was. This is the END. I needed more pages! So it really wasn’t actually that hard to binge it all in one […]

Why I Love Binge Reading And Bloodlines Series Review

Why I Love Binge Reading And Bloodlines Series Review

I love binge reading because I love being transported and being completely immersed in a story and world — so much so that it takes over your life and you forget to eat and pee and other important life things. I love living and breathing nothing but those characters and their story. It’s a fantastic escape! In the aftermath of Superbowl 49, where my heart was ripped out and left in bloody pieces on the half yard line, I needed […]

DNF Review: The One and Only by Emily Griffin

DNF Review: The One and Only by Emily Griffin

I’m really sad that this book wasn’t for me. It certainly sounded like it was meant for me. I adore football with an undying passion just like Shea — but more NFL and less college. But the love is the same. Anyway, I’ll outline some of the things I didn’t like about it and why I DNF-ed — although, technically I skimmed through most of it and did read the end. So, Coach Carr is introduced as this legendary, amazing […]
