REBELLION by Kass Morgan

Rebellion by Kass Morgan My rating: 5 of 5 stars After really enjoying The 100 trilogy , I got stuck into the TV show and fell in love with it as well. I love both of them. The books sucked me into this world and the awesome cast of characters. The TV show got me in so deep I&#…

Raising Some Progress

Remember this beautiful cover? The always awesome Kanaxa  made it, and it's absolutely perfect. So perfect for the book that I was devastated when I thought it wasn't going to make it to publication. But, that's changed now. This book is the second Elsewhere  book. I…

BONE GAP by Laura Ruby

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby My rating: 5 of 5 stars O.M.G. This book, it is awesome! Last weekend, I started two books. By mid-week, I'd lost interest in both of them. So I grabbed my Paperwhite and started this one. I'd heard great things about it and was intrigued by t…

Let's Talk Planners

For the last few years, I've been using Darth Vader Moleskines . This is my first Moleskine, which was an 18-month (2014-15) planner:   This is my 2016, 12-month planner: I wasn't kidding when I said I used Darth Vader planners. LOL. But this year, alth…

Some Kind of Goals

Well. It looks like 2017 is in full swing. I know that it (technically) started a few weeks ago, but I don't think it's ever too late to talk about goals. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I don't do New Year's resolutions. The word resolution  s…

WE COME APART by Sarah Crossan & Brian Conaghan

Jess would never have looked twice at Nicu if her friends hadn't left her in the lurch. Nicu is all big eyes and ill-fitting clothes, eager as a puppy, even when they're picking up litter in the park for community service. He's so not her type. Appearances matter to Jess. Sh…

A HUMAN STAIN by Kelly Robson

A Human Stain by Kelly Robson My rating: 5 of 5 stars I heard about this story on Twitter, and I was instantly intrigued. I mean, who doesn't want to read a gothic horror story featuring a lesbian character and a remote castle? Besides, check out the creepy cover. So I …

THE WOMEN IN THE WALLS by Amy Lukavics

The Women in the Walls by Amy Lukavics My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely loved Daughters Unto Devils , so I was super eager to read this one. And I pretty much devoured every word shortly after I started. This is SO GOOD! Lucy Acosta lives in a huge Victorian mansion wit…

Tracking Words & Pages

At the beginning of 2015 and 2016 , I posted a screenshot of my Tracking Sheets for the previous year. It helped to see how many words I wrote, how many pages I edited/revised. It also helped me see which months were more and less productive. Thanks to Sidney Bristol , who shares t…

GHOSTS OF THE MOTOR CITY by Sierra Dean

Ghosts of the Motor City by Sierra Dean My rating: 5 of 5 stars I bought a copy of this the other day and because I DNFd an awful book yesterday, I decided to get stuck into a short story. Frank Calvert is a Detroit homicide detective who seems to see more of the dead than mo…
