Recently I’ve been noticing myself giving a lot of four star reviews and started thinking about my rating system and what it means.

Planning for Book Expo America- Part 1
This June, I am planning on making my first trip to Book Expo America, and honestly… I’m practically thinking about it non stop because I’m just that excited. Not sure how I’ll manage to keep my mind on track for another three months before I go. So, for anyone else who might be thinking of […]

ReaWrite: When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? Jacquelyn: I’ve always loved to write and, in fact, always have. It just took me some time to dig up the nerve to send one of my stories to a professional in the publishing world. I’m so happy I did! Maybe becoming an […]

Today, I am super excited to bring you an interview with the author of Dark Inside (you know, that book I’ve been talking about non stop since I read it), Jeyn Roberts. She was kind enough to take some time out of her busy schedule to give us the inside scoop on writing Dark Inside […]

Looking over the books I read (at least the ones I remembered to check off on Goodreads), there are a few that really stood out as my memorable reads of 2011. Not surprisingly, they aren’t all actually 2011 titles but more surprisingly they aren’t all YA and UF books. If nothing else, I managed to […]

I’ve been on the look out for some interesting challenges to take part in for 2012… One that looks pretty interesting is knocking some titles off of my TBR list. So before I sign up for anything, I’m making a list to try and better figure out what my reading and blogging goals should be […]

Ever since I learned about the Kindle Fire (which isn’t available to us Canadians *pout*) I have been somewhat obsessed with finding a comparable 7″ tablet/Ereader.
