Why Did I Read This Book? Let it be known that I am such a sucker for animal stories, especially when the point of the story is not the animal dying. I initially became interested in Daisy To The Rescue: True Stories of Daring Dogs, Paramedic Parrots, and Other Animal Heroes by Jeff Campbell based on the cover, […]
Frostbite: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead | Book Review
October 31, 2014
I picked up Frostbite: The Graphic Novel based on the series by Richelle Mead adapted by Leigh Dragoon illustrated by Emma Vieceli (what a mouthful!) because I had seriously whipped through the first adaptation of Vampire Academy in graphic novel form. Of course, I read this during the Dewey Readathon and it was one of the few books I got through (this was the same day that the Hale firestorm started). I knew that this would be a book I could get through quickly and where I wouldn’t have to concentrate too hard because I already knew the story and what to expect. And well, this book absolutely meets that whole Readathon purpose.
The Bodies We Wear by Jeyn Roberts | Book Review

Well, that happened to me while reading The Bodies We Wear. I am going to warn you right now that this book is really strange and some parts do feel like a bit of a trudge to get through. I spent much of the book confused, however, I ended up pretty satisfied when everything came together and I was no longer in the dark.
Be With Me by J. Lynn | Book Review
October 29, 2014
Eventually my mood won out and I ended up reading the second book of the Wait For You series and not regretting it one bit, because it was the medicine that the doctor ordered. It was the first book that had called out to me in awhile. It reignited my need of books to alleviate stress. So, you know, this book just worked perfectly for me in my time of need.
Messenger Of Fear by Michael Grant | Book Review
October 27, 2014
I am kind of dreading writing this review, my friends. Here is the thing, I had super high hopes for Messenger Of Fear by Michael Grant. The concept sounded completely awesome — supernatural beings delivering retribution for misdeeds through use of a twisted game.
