Where do I even start? I just read a 700+ page book in less than a work week. It wasn’t because I was in a rush to finish it and move on to the next thing—I loved it. And this is coming from someone who isn’t a huge fan or historical fiction or historical romance!Continue reading “Outlander by Diana Gabaldon”
Well, let me start by saying I didn’t finish the series, despite the misleading post title. But we’ll get to that. I started with Dagger Star. I recently finished the Warlands series by Vaughan, and I loved it. I figured I’d love another Vaughan novel, too. I didn’t. Maybe my hopes were too high, orContinue reading “Epic of Palins (#1 and #2) by Elizabeth Vaughan”
I’m currently struggling through a book I’m not thrilled with (it’s not quite to the ‘didn’t finish’ stage—I’m too far in), so I thought I would think positively and look toward the future: the books I want to read this fall. In my world, fall begins September 1st, though in everyone else’s it’s typically atContinue reading “Lauren’s Autumn Reads”
After reading Stolen Songbird, falling in love with it, and then realizing I would have to wait until spring for book two—well, I was looking for a fantasy series with more than one book. I wanted several. I’m a total binge reader (obviously) and a series? A series is awesome. A series is the best.Continue reading “Chronicles of the Warlands 1-4 by Elizabeth Vaughan”
I chose this book on a whim after reading several other third installments in trilogies I’ve been reading. Without checking the publish date, I tore into the book, turning pages like it would disappear if I set it down. Needless to say, it was a fabulous read. It flew by in a blur of magic,Continue reading “Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen”
I thought this was supposed to be a trilogy, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was left with a giant cliffhanger at the end of book three. Just kidding. I panicked, and jumped on Goodreads as soon as I could to see if there was a fourth book in the works. There is. AndContinue reading “Throne of Glass Series 1-3 by Sarah J. Maas”
Let me preface this by saying: I am a huge Maria V. Snyder fan. I’ve read the Study series and the Glass series, so naturally, I was very excited to see that she had written another series. In true bibliophile fashion, I read each book in under 24 hours. Never start a book on aContinue reading “The Healer Series by Maria V. Snyder”
I was eager to begin reading The One & Only—partly because I love Emily Giffin and partly because I had just finished All Fall Down and was in the mood for a fun summer read. I didn’t read what the book was about before downloading it to my Nook and diving in. I’m glad IContinue reading “The One & Only by Emily Giffin”
To be perfectly honest, I didn’t have high hopes for this novel. My last experience with Jennifer Weiner left me feeling let down and empty, so I have avoided the rest of her works for about a year now. When I saw that she had a new novel coming out, I was intrigued. Around theContinue reading “Two Review: All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner”
