A few months ago I was at the bookstore talking to someone about My Sister’s Keeper when I learned about a different Jodi Picoult book called Nineteen Minutes. It came highly recommended to me, so of course, having loved My Sister’s Keeper, I picked up Nineteen Minutes. It took me a while to work through [...]

It’s likely you haven’t heard of this book until now. There is no marketing team assigned to create buzz or sell this story to the masses. It’s all word of mouth at this point and I’m glad I heard the word myself because this is a GOOD book! The story is exciting and fresh. Romantic and adventurous. Self-published Colleen Houck has a brilliant, vivid imagination that sold me on her abilities as an author.
The chapters are entrenched in the rich culture, history, mythology, and imagery of India. The exotic setting only enhances the deliciously romantic scenes. The book is as romantic as it is adventurous…

Living Dead Girl brings you into the world of Alice, a girl who was abducted 5 years ago at the age of 10 while on a school field trip. Ray, her abductor, has physically, sexually, and emotionally abused Alice every day since he took her.

Violent rage and pure love are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum, yet Christopher Krovatin was able to weave these two strands together seamlessly and at the same time remind everyone that no matter how messed up we are we still have the power to choose what we do with the cards we’ve been dealt in life and the responsibility to clean up the messes we make along the way.

The premise of this book sounded awesome to me and drew me in right away initially, however it didn’t take long before I was wishing that the premise was much more at the forefront of the plot. Having the ability to see the death dates of everyone you come across could definitely mess with a kid…

A surprise arrived in the mail for me last week…an ARC of Hush Hush. I know the book has been released already and I intend to purchase my own published copy as soon as possible, but with all the buzz about this book in the internet this past couple weeks, how could I pass up [...]
