Binge reading a series is pretty much my favorite. Within the span of about a week or so, I consumed Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series. The second book, Curtsies & Conspiracies is just as delightful as the first book - Etiquette & Espionage. This is a series about a capable young woman named Sophronia who has been covertly recruited […]

October 12, 2015
I often join readathons and then do not do anything to really promote that I am taking part except maybe declaring my intent on twitter.

September 23, 2015

You guys, usually this is the wrong instinct. However, it is an instinct that caused me to give Twisted Fate by Norah Olson a chance.
