Review: Spirit Bound and The Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy #5 and #6) by Richelle Mead

Posted October 7, 2013 by Wendy in Reviews / 1 Comment

I’m not putting in the synopsis for these two because it may be spoiler-y for those who haven’t read the previous books. (I know, because I mistakenly read the synopsis for #6 before I had finished reading #5 and had a minor spoiler). Yes, I finished these forever ago but I’ve been putting off getting a review together because it’s just so hard to put into words how perfect I thought these last two books were in the series! I […]

Review: The Perfect Game by J. Sterling

Posted October 4, 2013 by Wendy in Reviews / 6 Comments

Alright. So, I first heard about this book when Chelsea and I went to the Seattle author event and met the author, J. Sterling. She was so outgoing and fun to talk to so I made a mental note to check out her book (there was a lot of talk about a certain Jack effing Carter and I was intrigued). Chelsea read it first and mentioned there was something she couldn’t forgive. Then Betty tells me I must read it […]

Review: If I Stay by Gayle Forman

A lot of the time, I stay away from the sad books. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that when I read, I immerse myself in the book, place myself in the characters’ shoes and as a result, sad books really destroy me. So I really don’t think I would’ve picked this up on my own, but I read it as part of the Gayle Forman read along and I’m SO glad I did. This book was […]

Review: Sanctum by Sarah Fine

You guys, I adored Sanctum! I’ve always been partial to paranormal books and this one was fantastic! Lela Santos knows that she needs to rescue her best friend Nadia from hell. So she willingly walks through the Suicide Gates to go looking for Nadia. I loved the way that this city was described. It’s desolate and reeks of despair. Every single person there is there because they’ve taken their own life and now that they’re in that city, they become […]

Review: Lost and Found by Nicole Williams

Posted September 18, 2013 by Wendy in Reviews / 11 Comments

Let me preface this review by saying I love cowboys. I love horses. I love farms and anything and everything country. I worked at a horse camp for two summers, one as just a counselor and the other I was a “wrangler-in-training”. Basically I helped teach the campers riding classes, took guest groups out on trail rides, trained an assigned horse, and any and all barn duties. It was one of the best summers of my life, everyone on staff […]
