Autumn Book Tag

Autumn may have started a couple of weeks ago now, but here in the southeastern part of the country, it’s been in the 80-90F range everyday until just the last few days! It’s still a little warmer than I’d like for it to be, but leaves are finally starting to turn a little, and the evenings have that gorgeous crispness that makes me just want to go for a long car ride with the windows down – or curl up outside...

The Hanging Girl – Eileen Cook (ARC Review)

Goodreads synopsis: Skye Thorn has given tarot card readings for years, and now her psychic visions are helping the police find the town’s missing golden girl. It’s no challenge—her readings have always been faked, but this time she has some insider knowledge. The kidnapping was supposed to be easy—no one would get hurt and she’d get the money she needs to start a new life. But a seemingly harmless prank has turned dark, and Skye realizes the people she’s involved...

27 Hours – Tristina Wright (ARC Review)

Goodreads synopsis: Rumor Mora fears two things: hellhounds too strong for him to kill, and failure. Jude Welton has two dreams: for humans to stop killing monsters, and for his strange abilities to vanish. But in no reality should a boy raised to love monsters fall for a boy raised to kill them. Nyx Llorca keeps two secrets: the moon speaks to her, and she’s in love with Dahlia, her best friend. Braeden Tennant wants two things: to get out...

Miniature Monday #5

Every week, I’ll be posting a small batch of mini-reviews for graphic novels and the like! This week, I’ll be reviewing four graphic novels (two ARCs and two released copies). How to Be Perfectly Unhappy – The Oatmeal/Matthew Inman A lot of people think Matthew Inman’s work is all fart jokes and dogs licking themselves, and I mean, that’s most of it, but sometimes, Matthew gets really freaking insightful and makes me contemplate the universe and my existence and such. This...

Locke & Key – Joe Hill (series review)

Locke & Key was the first graphic novel series I’ve ever completed, and I loved every beautiful, gruesome, weird second of it. I enjoyed it so much that I’m currently in denial that it’s over, so I thought I’d distract myself by posting a full series review for you guys! I’ll split the volumes up into SPOILER-FREE mini-reviews, but first, I wanted to give you guys a heads up: While I adored this series with my whole heart and think that any...

Discussion: Different Criteria for Different Genres?

Hello, everyone, and welcome to my first ever discussion post! I personally love reading and commenting on the discussions you guys come up with, so I thought I’d start doing one every so often as well. For my first one, though, I wanted to address something that feels really important, specifically with the fall season coming up (we’ll get to the whys of that logic in a moment). My initial question to you is: do you ever find yourself looking for different...

Miniature Monday #4

I have been on a kick lately of reading a lot of graphic novels, comics, and even a bit of manga, and I have more on my TBR for the next month, so I decided I would start a new series. Every week, I’ll be posting a small batch of mini-reviews for graphic novels and the like! I’ll also include poetry collections, as I’ve read a little poetry lately. This week, I’ll be reviewing one poetry collection and three graphic novels! I...

The Dream Thieves – Maggie Stiefvater

Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after… “And Ronan was everything that was left: molten eyes and a smile made...

The End of the Year Book Tag

Hi, lovelies! Today, I’m going to be doing a tag that I’ve seen going around a lot lately, and to be frank, I was confused by the first time I saw it. I thought, “end of the year tag? But it’s only September?” Well, this tag is actually more about your preparations for the end of the year. Huh, go figure. Anyways, I was tagged to do this by a blogger whose blog seems to have disappeared, sadly. 🙁 Since I...
