Hello friends!  I have exciting news - I'm no longer a student which means the blog is now alive! I finished studying towards my degree in English Literature and that means my time is now filled with reading and blogging. I'm incredibly excited to continue talking books with you all! We also want to apologi…

Andie had it all planned out. When you are a politician’s daughter who’s pretty much raised yourself, you learn everything can be planned or spun, or both. Especially your future. Important internship? Check. Amazing friends? Check. Guys? Check (as long as we’re talking no more than three weeks). But that was before…

For the perfe ct love, what would you be willing to lose? It’s been a shattering year for seventeen-year-old Zoe, who’s still reeling from her father’s shockingly sudden death in a caving accident and her neighbors’ mysterious disappearance from their own home.

As you might have noticed, the blog is looking just a little bit different. Well, quite a lot! It seems we've gone for more of a modern and fresh look, so we hope you like it. Now we're getting back into action with books/reviewing/writing/everything, we thought a new look won't do any harm. …

It's time for a book tag! It's been so long since I've done one on the blog, and I'm happy to be getting back into them. This time we're going to delve into reading habits, because we're all different. We all experience books in various ways and it's always interesting to see how p…

Over the past few weeks, life has intervened with blogging in a multitude of ways. (The flu, work and university are an overwhelming mix, let's just say.) We are, however, navigating and managing our way around it - and here we are again.  Many apologies for our absence, pumpkins. Call us foolish optimists, …

In this irresistible story, Kasie West explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect. Witty and romantic, this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson. When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in t…

Oy-to-the-vey, it's Valentine's Day. Love it or hate it, you can't escape it. We're just ever so romantic... in that our Valentine's Day traditions typically involve some form of "Top 10 books to help you survive Valentine's Day" or "Top 10 Books For A Non-Romantic Reader&…

Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.  The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncove…

Strange occurrences follow the sixteen-year-old everywhere.  When tragedy forces her to move to the small town of Clearwater, Michigan, with her estranged aunt Jodi, Kristyl tries to leave her past behind. But …

Yes. Yes, we alliterated in the title. Glad you asked. It's only the first of the many joyous and charming quirks unique to us bloggerly readers. It is not, per se, a qualitatively different category from just 'reader' - but it is its most Hermionish extreme. (If such a thing as blogging worked at Hogw…

Presumably, in some parallel universe ( #hellyeahspacepuns ), it is entirely possible to love The Illuminae Files for the plot alone, completely setting aside its utter, groundbreaking artistic brilliance. Alas, this is not said universe. This is where art and literary magnificence marry and comingle and enjoy equ…

Only three and a half weeks into 2017, and here we are, re-litigating 2016. Because good things come to those who wait to do everything until the last possible second again even though Hermione told us to do it today or tomorrow we'll pay, but did we listen - noooo . Ahem. As with ever-mounting TBRs and ever-tr…

Fun fact: the size of a reader's anticipated releases list is directly proportional to their time spent reading. The more books you chomp away at, the bigger it gets. I don't make the rules. It's just how it is. As part of The Great And Terrible TBR, the list of anticipated books coming out in the y…

MAKE WAY FOR THE PARTY POOPERS!  Let it never be said we only spread joy. After all, there's no sense of accomplishment in saving Christmas unless the Grinch jeopardizes it first. In-between all the happy-go-lucky end-of-the-year features we've been posting as we recap our reading year and pave the way for …

As has been a long-standing end-of-the-year tradition in the blogosphere, at the end of the year we share our favorites. Around these parts, the favorites are usually confined to books, quotes, characters and such things as we can easily devour - and encourage others to devour in turn. (Books are delicious , my frien…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader stuck in 2016 must be in want of a book. True story. The world at large doesn't agree on much, but when it comes to the past year, a great many of us can agree that it came a little bit short of ideal. But we are bookworms, bookdragons and book fiends ali…

Hello fellow book friends! We're sorry that we've been MIA for the last month or so, but this really annoying thing called life got in the way. Not sure how aware you are but we're both students at university so that has sucked our life up and we're slowly getting our reading life back. Also …

Once upon a time, before we were the dazzling, sociable, and all-around communicative blog that we are today, we were... not. You remember the time - when you blogged for yourself and flailed in an ocean all by yourself and somewhere, you heard, there's a Titanic's worth of floating people, as well ( too soon…

Ah, the TBR pile. The never ending abyss of books that you can't stop chucking books into despite the perils that come with diving in to retrieve them. It's both our eternal fear (chances are any day it topples and crushes us to death, as bookworms worldwide have agreed), and our greatest challenge. Apart…
