In love with Naturally, Charlie by @slscottauthor
So, let me tell you about Naturally, Charlie. Or rather, let me tell you my initial thoughts when I started reading it. In Chapter One, I had proclaimed Charlie B as my new best friend. Likeable, funny and sensitive, I wanted to include her on my morning coffee run and sip cocktails with her in Greenwich Village at night. In Chapter Two, I had a schoolgirl crush on Charlie A. Witty, strong-willed and as delicious as hot cakes, I wanted to be the girl he confided in while giggling uncontrollable at his charm and humour. By Chapter Six I was … Continue reading

Giveaway & Review of The Keatyn Chronicals Book One: Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd
Title: Stalk Me Author: Jillian Dodd Rating: Genre: YA Publisher: Bandit Publishing Publication Date: September 2012 Review: This story made me very nolstalgic. Not because my life in high school was so glamorous and I had boys flocking towards me like Keatyn but because Jillian Dodd did an EXCELLENT job of reminding me what it’s like to be in the process of growing up and trying to find yourself in a world of endless possibilities and versions of yourself. Keatyn is a very unique character. She seems like she has it all. Great friends, popularity, a famous mother, the … Continue reading
Stalk Me: Exclusive Cush Interview & Giveaway
Today we sat down with Brandon “Cush” Cushman to get his side of the story. I was very excited for this interview because I’m “Team Cush” all the way. Let’s see what he had to say. It’s widely known that you’ve always been sort of a playboy. Have you ever thought of settling down with anyone other than Keatyn? I crushed on her since I first saw her. Once I got to know her, I crushed even harder. She’s fun to be around. I settled for being her friend. I wish I wouldn’t have. I should have told her … Continue reading

The Emerald Isle by @kate_hinderer
In a genre that is wildly saturated with vampires, werewolves, zombies and dystopian hierarchies that make armys out of their offspring and/or send them to fight for survival; I am always on the lookout for something different to keep my imagination entertained. And so I was relieved to find that Emerald Isle by Kate Hinderer is about a different race of mythological creatures. Welcome to the world of the Mermaids. Or, Mermen to be precise. Two of them. And they are both vying for the attention of our protagonist, Audyn. Audyn is working on Fascination Island – a high brow … Continue reading

Review: Something Strange and Deadly
Title: Something Strange and Deadly Author: Susan Dennard Rating: Genre: Paranormal Historical Publisher: HarperTeen Publication Date: July 24th, 2012 Review: When I realized this book was about zombies, I freaked out. I am NOT a zombie fan. I have friends that have endlessly tried to get me to watch The Walking Dead and I will not. I have nightmares even if I THINK about watching a thriller or horror movie/show. Nothing could ever convince me to watch anything to do with zombies. Until I read Something Strange and Deadly. Something Strange and Deadly definitely keeps the reader in suspense. I … Continue reading

Love & Haight by @susankcarlton
Title: Love & Haight Rating: Author: Susan Carlton Genre: YA/Historical Fiction Publisher: Henry Holt and Company Release Date: March 13, 2012 Review: When I first agreed to read and review this book, I was pretty excited, since it takes place in 1971. I thought, “Cool, that’s my generation – I can totally relate.” Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed. The book tackles the always-controversial subject of abortion, but the subject-matter isn’t what I had a problem with. I had a hard time finding the main character, Chloe, likeable in any way. She’s pretty one-dimensional, and I really struggled throughout to get … Continue reading

In Heaven they are soul mates, made for each other, and destined to be by each other’s sides for all time. On Earth, they have no knowledge or memory of who they are, and each … Continue reading

Hittin’ the Road with @estevanvega
When somebody asks you to do a top ten list of all the places in the world you could visit, you gotta wonder if ten is a large enough number. I mean, if money were no object, and if time were available, where wouldn’t you go? Other than Antarctica, various places in the Amazon (rumor has it J-Lo and a bunch of Anacondas were spotted there once), and downtown Camden, Jersey, obviously. But let’s get on with that list, shall we? Californ-I-A. I’ve been to L.A. once, but for a very short while. I’d like to really see California, from … Continue reading
