DAISY JONES & THE SIX by Taylor Jenkins Reid

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've been meaning to read this for AGES! And I'm really glad that I finally decided to get stuck into it because I couldn't put it down.
Well, what can I say about this fantastic book that hasn't already been said? This is a fictional rock documentary that dragged me in from the very beginning and wouldn't let me go until I reached the end.
I can definitely see how Fleetwood Mac inspired this amazing rock story, but everything ab...

I was in the mood for a novella this evening, and decided to get stuck into this one.

Checking In!

If you've read my posts through the years, or follow me on social media, then you know how much I dislike the rain. A couple of days are fine, but when it stretches out for over a week... I get irritable. I even start getting headaches. Ugh.
Anyway, en...

BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE by Anna Biller

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Yes, I totally bought this book because the cover is stunning and the paperback version is lovely. There's nothing wrong with that. After all, I've always loved those old gothic romance covers from the past. ☺️
Judith is a successful gothic author with a terrible childhood and complicated family connections. Labelled an ugly duckling by her mother, she has issues. But the day she meets the handsome and alluring Gavin, she becomes a romanc...

THE PROM QUEEN by R.L. Stine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, I just read another Fear Street book. I picked this one because I found out it's going to be the next Netflix movie! Oh, and because of that seriously cool and macabre cover.
It's time for prom, and that means a new Prom Queen will be picked. The five candidates—Lizzy, Dawn, Simone, Rachel and Elana—also happen to be friends. So there's a lot of excitement in the air, not to mention the drama club's spring production to look forward to as...

THE FIRST EVIL by R.L. Stine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love Goosebumps and really enjoyed the Fear Street Trilogy on Netflix, so when I noticed a bunch of the Fear Street titles on special, I picked some up for my Paperwhite.
Corky and Bobbi Corcoran are sisters who recently moved into a house on Fear Street. They also happen to be awesome cheerleaders. But when they join the Shadyside High squad, awful things start to happen...
I really enjoyed this! I'm glad I started here because it was a LOT o...

GOBLIN MONDAY by R.L. Stine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I picked this up this afternoon and pretty much finished it in one sitting.
Mario is looking forward to seeing the snow, and now that he's tagging along with his best friends and their parents to Vermont, that's exactly what he'll be doing. Except, there's something really strange going on inside this house. And Todd and Jewel's grandparents are a little odd...
Well, that was a creepy and totally fun story! It's quite unsettling. From the very be...

Stories, Stories, Everywhere!

I'm looking forward to the four-day weekend. I always look forward to time off with my husband.
So, the last two weeks have been super busy for me. I've been working on edits, and they're pretty intense. Not to mention my short story collection. Yep, that's right. I'm finally putting together a short story collection.
Well, um, not exactly one...
Okay, let's start from the beginning.
Last year (in...
