Reading Reviews Before Reading the Book
I know many people avoid reviews of a book before they read the book like the plague. It’s a bit controversial, I think. When we’re talking about one that caught your interest because of the cover, or the blurb, you want to know if it’s worth your time. You feel the itch to go see what people are saying about it, even your friends.
On the other hand, we have the readers that close their eyes and go run laps to avoid the temptation of doing so. They just don’t want to see them.
As someone who ha...

Review: Storm Fall, by Tracy Banghart
In the action-packed sequel to Rebel Wing, Aris battles for life and love . . . and not everyone will survive.
Aris Haan gave up everything to join the Atalantan Military: her family, her boyfriend, even her identity. In the end, though, it didn’t matter that she was a war hero. When the all-male Military discovered that she was actually a woman, she was sent home and erased from history.

On Cancelled TV Shows and Broken Hearts
I bet every TV show fan out there has at least once ended up with a void in their heart almost as painful as the one when you finish a really good book and don’t want it to finish, when they come across a beloved show that ends up being cancelled just when you were starting to love it, or have loved it all along.

There are many elements that influence producers or whoever it is that does it, to cancel shows. Maybe it’s the budget, or the general audien...

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters You Wish Would Get Their Own Book
Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book
Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish
1. Jen, from Significance -Shelly Crane
Jen’s love story is just briefly described, being an important subplot to Maggie’s one. Jen is Maggie’s significant sister. She has a daughter because she was raped once (Please correct me if I’m wrong). But she also longs to have a significant. She does get her happy ending, but I’d have loved to see that story told in a separate book.
2. Puck, from T...
