Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this for so long! My Secret Sister got it for me and I read it with Racquel and Betty! My Thoughts: This is everything I love about fantasy! There are different kingdoms and there are things called Graces that people can be born with. You can be Graced with an extraordinary ability to cook, or to fight, or to sew. When your Grace manifests, your eyes also change color — each […]

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 […]

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 […]

Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this since FOREVER. I had heard nothing but great things! My Thoughts: How do I write this review? This is one of those books that I know I’m going to want to reread. I’m sitting here, wondering how to put into words how amazing this book was. I feel like nothing I say can adequately express just how much I adored it and how amazing it is. Nastya and Josh. The […]

Review: Zodiac by Romina Russell

Review: Zodiac by Romina Russell

Why Did I Read? I got an ARC of this from BEA and the cover is gorgeous! The premise also sounded so interesting – sci fi with zodiac houses? Cool, right? My Thoughts: Unfortunately, I really didn’t like this book. I almost DNFed it but for some reason I kept thinking it was going to pick up. But it didn’t. Basically the main character, Rho, is thrust into a leadership position after a huge tragedy strikes, leaving thousands dead. She’s […]
