Hey! What did you do this week? I celebrated finishing an edit by getting stuck into a Book Purge. As I've mentioned many times here and on Twitter, during pre-pandemic times hubby and I used to go for many thrift store adventures. During those adventures I picked up a LOT of books. …
Impostors by Scott Westerfeld My rating: 5 of 5 stars The other day I stumbled on Bogus to Bubbly , which happens to be a guide book for the Uglies series. That reminded me how much I loved those four books, and then I found out there were going to be another four books set in the s…
Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider's Guide to the World of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved the Uglies series, so of course I was interested in checking this out. This book is full of extra (pardon the pun) information about pretty (oops, I did it again) much …
The Cockroach King by Andrew Cull My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've been busy working on edits all week so I didn't get a chance to read anything. But today, while sorting the books on my Paperwhite, this caught my eye and I decided to read it. Cassie is very excited about buying …
Yep. This week I only had one goal: to get the second Wall of Dolls edit done. And I'm super excited to report that I did it! Yay. Today, I finished up the last section, went through all the notes I'd written for myself, and checked all my changes. Then, I emailed it to my edit…
Hey! How are you? This pic captures a lot of what I've been doing lately. There's always a lot to think about, but when you're a writer, sometimes it gets a bit crowded in there. We've been busy getting on with everyday stuff while never forgetting the pandemic isn't o…
Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch My rating: 2 of 5 stars After DNFing two books yesterday, I decided to pick this up and it captured my attention. So I kept reading. Peter Grant is a Probationary Constable who wants to be a detective, but is about to be assigned to the boring Case Pr…
Vamparazzi by Laura Resnick My rating: 5 of 5 stars Okay, reading the next book in the Esther Diamond series is becoming one of my favourite things to do this year. I always look forward to catching up with her hilarious friends and dark world. Esther is busy performing in a very po…
If You Dare by A.R. Torre My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was very excited about reading the (for now) final book in this exciting series. Deanna's life has never been easy. After all, it's hard to keep her murderous impulses under control. So she's gone back to staying inside …
Fly on The Wall by E. Lockhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I didn't plan to read anything new today. I just wanted to go through my thrift-store finds and see what books worked and didn't work for me. But, after picking this one up, I couldn't put it down. Gretched Yee attend…
The Hunted by Gabriel Bergmoser My rating: 5 of 5 stars This happens to be an ARC that I found in one of the many local Street Libraries in our community. It sounded so interesting, I had to grab it. Frank lives in the middle of nowhere Australia and has a roadhouse that hardly gets …
Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica My rating: 3 of 5 stars I found this at the thrift store last year and almost forgot I had it. I've heard some gross things about this one and they were all true. 😲 Marcos lives in a world without animals. After they all caught a virus …
