Review: Flirting with Disaster – Ruthie Knox

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Ruthie Knox

*I received a free ARC of Flirting with Disaster from Random House Publishing – Loveswept via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Flirting with Disaster is quite different from what I expected. Sean is a very sexy geek, he stutters – which is why he refuses to speak when Katie can hear him. Katie is a very strong woman, she has picked up the pieces of her life several times, and come out even stronger afterwards. Very caring, she has trouble figuring out what to do with the rest of her life. With just the right amount of hotness, Flirting with Disaster also has a mystery to solve, as Sean and Katie have to keep rock-star Judah Pratt safe […]

Stacking the Shelves #16

Stacking the Shelves #16

Stacking The Shelves #16 Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! Participating in Stacking The Shelves has helped me to keep better track of books I’m adding to my huge TBR pile every week, and I think I have gotten a little better at not adding too many books every single week. Participating in this blog-hop has also introduced me to more new blogs, and some weeks, I add more books to my ‘might-read-one-day’ […]

Review: A January Bride (A Year of Weddings #2) – Deborah Raney

Review: A January Bride (A Year of Weddings #2) – Deborah Raney

*I received a free ARC of A January Bride from Zondervan Fiction via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* A January Bride is a very sweet story, where a lot of the romantic action happens in an epistolary fashion. Art and Maddie have almost stopped believing in love, but when circumstances bring Maddie to continue writing her next book in Art’s Inn while he is at work, things slowly change. They leave each other little notes every day, and that is how they get to know each other. Both mistakenly – with the help of their 84-year old friend Ginny – believe the other is old. The characters are both very likeable and touching in A January Bride, and […]

Discussion Thursdays with Luxa: When Favorite Books have Babies

Discussion Thursdays with Luxa: When Favorite Books have Babies

Thursdays with Luxa, formerly known as Let’s Discuss, is a weekly post hosted by Thoughts and Pens. Since she took over, Charlotte has changed the name to Thursdays with Luxa if you want to find it on her blog. The discussion posts are supposed to have something to do with books, but you can pretty much choose your own topic. You can link up to your discussion post at Charlotte’s blog, and also visit other posts and participate in the discussions they are having. When you link up, it should be to a post made in the past seven days, even if Thoughts and Pens post hers every Thursday. You don’t have to post weekly discussion posts, and you can […]

Waiting on Wednesday #1: The Undead Pool – Kim Harrison

Waiting on Wednesday #1: The Undead Pool – Kim Harrison

  Waiting on Wednesday #1: The Undead Pool Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place to showcase a book we’re really looking forward to with bated breath! A new release in our favorite series, an exciting new title from a favorite author… I am giddy with excitement waiting for The Undead Pool! I love Rachel and all her partners in crime. I have even enjoyed Trent from the very first book. The story is so well done, and the long-term plot is easy to follow, even if some things may take more than one book to arrive at some kind of resolution. The Undead Pool (The Hollows […]

Review: A December Bride (A Year of Weddings #1) – Denise Hunter

Review: A December Bride (A Year of Weddings #1) – Denise Hunter

*I received a free ARC of A December Bride from Zondervan Fiction via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* A December Bride is a short, quick read, about Layla whose fiancé was snatched by her cousin Jessica. When it’s time for their wedding, Jason’s best friend, Seth shows up at the restaurant where she works to suggest they go to the wedding together. Layla is relieved to have a date, but she would have brought anybody but Seth – as she holds him responsible for breaking her engagement. I never really got to like or understand Layla very much, and I didn’t get a romantic feel from her and Seth very much. Layla is willing to go to great […]

Review: Red Rising (Red Rising Trilogy #1) – Pierce Brown

Review: Red Rising (Red Rising Trilogy #1) – Pierce Brown

Red Rising is a well-woven story set on Mars, in a dystopian society, where the readers follow Darrow from the mines where he extracts precious helium 3 to help the population from earth to come and colonize the red planet. The Reds working and living deep inside of Mars have little food, and everything is done to make sure the clans do not band together with each other – only staying with their own. Many things are forbidden, but not many people dare to rise and try to make things better. When Eo brings her husband to a secret place she’s found, a place that is fully terraformed already, Darrow has no idea what she means when she tells him […]
