I have been waiting so, so long for this book to come out. I first read the Study series in high school—in fact, so did my parents. It was like a Hooker family book club. I digress.

We don’t really want that and this is completely unrealistic.” I am always looking to better myselfContinue reading “The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss”

Two Review: Fire Study by Maria Snyder
In honor of the upcoming release of Shadow Study, we’re both reviewing Fire Study! Oh. My. Gosh. This book is exactly why I’m so obsessed with this series (and practically anything Maria V.

TOP TEN FAVORITE HEROINES 1. Hermione Granger – the Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling. DUH. It’s HERMIONE. If there ever was a badass heroine in literature, it’s her. 2.
