There’s something to be said for reading a contemporary book that it seems hasn’t yet been widely reviewed by other book bloggers. I feel a bit like an explorer right now. Dear Life, You Suck is a debut novel by Scott Blagden. Set in Maine, Dear Life, You Suck follows Cricket Cherpin who has a depressing back […]
Golden | Jessi Kirby | Book Review
April 17, 2013
Readers, you know how sometimes there are books that are absolutely perfect for a certain season? Like, books that just scream I AM SUMMER, READ ME?

April 5, 2013
Why Did I Listen To This Audiobook: As soon as I saw Shadow On The Crown by Patricia Bracewell in a review pitch, I absolutely knew I had to listen to the audiobook. You see, I filled up a ton of my college career with medieval history classes, looking back I am pretty sure I took […]
