There is going to be so many amazing books coming out this month and my wallet is going to be so angry with me! All of these amazing reads are on my wishlist for my birthday…….. Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard Summary: Corayne an-Amarat is the last of her family and is the chosen one to save the world. Yes, it’s a big task, but she will be joined by a band of very unlikely allies. This should work out right? I loved this author’s previous series, Red Queen, so I am definitely looking forward to this read. A chosen one trope, a band of hilarious and magical allies, sign me…
Vengeful Review
Summary Marcella Riggins has been done wrong. She is a smart, savvy and gorgeous woman married to one of the most powerful mob bosses in Merit City. She was the perfect wife, but when her husband betrays her, she will become just a little vengeful…. My Thoughts OMG! THIS BOOK WAS KILLER LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. I enjoyed this book so much better than the first for one reason and one reason only, Marcella Riggins…. Marcella Riggins was an instant love character for me from the moment she started talking. Yes, she is bloodthirsty, evil, manipulative, conniving, and vengeful, but this girl has been through hell and back and she didn’t…
Vicious Review
Summary Two college roommates vastly different in personalities, but ambitions that would match no other. During their senior year, they decide to dedicate their thesis on research studying adrenaline and near death experiences. But when the experiment goes wrong and jealousy rises, what will happen to these two friends? My Thoughts So this book was extremely interesting and nothing like I thought. Based on the reviews I have read about the book, I thought it was going to have a X-Men mentality with the fight between Magento and Dr. X, but it was nothing like that and I was so glad! Let me just say that the title of this…
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Review
Summary Adeline LaRue lived in a small town in 1700s France. She also thought she was meant for bigger and better things. So when she is faced with a crossroads she makes a decision that will haunt her forever. My Thoughts OH THIS BOOK WAS SO HEARTBREAKING! I honestly have been putting this book off since I got it because I just KNEW it was going to be sad. I mean it is a perspective on a classic that is equally devastating so I guess I was preparing myself for the inevitable sob fest I was about to have while reading. When I started the book, it took me a…
My 5 Top Reads of November
Despite the holiday and my crazy life, I actually read 12 more books in November than October! I am so happy to be getting my reading groove back! I read 23 books in all this month and while they all were really great, four books and one series stood out to me as my favorites! Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman This book was not what I was expecting, but I ended up really enjoying the space ride that it took me on. I usually am not a fan of when a series changes main characters between the first installment and the sequel, but this book was a great…
A Darker Shade of Magic Review
Summary Kell is an Antari, a magician with the ability to travel between parallel worlds. He uses this skill to send messages to and from the four worlds and to provide for his side business, dealing in collections of items from the worlds. When he obtains an object that could get him into trouble, he will be led on a journey he could never imagine. My Thoughts: I bought this book a while ago and it has been sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. I chose to read it because one of my book groups picked it for our next book. I was so happy because I already…

Ten Reads on my TBR
I don’t know if any of my wonderful book friends have this problem, but my TBR list is a mile long and I don’t see it getting any shorter. These are just a very small fraction of the books on my list. On Writing by Stephen King This autobiography and guide to writing was introduced to me by my writing buddy a couple of years ago. I’ve been writing on and off for about 10 years with no end in sight. When I bought the book, I had hoped to read it and get inspired. However, since I haven’t read the book yet, I remain stumped in my writing. I…
