Hi and welcome to Stacked, a feature where I discuss some of the books that I’ve recently acquired. Wow, I cannot believe that we are more than halfway through February already. I actually started this post a couple of weeks ago but am only now …
I feel bad giving this one such a low rating but I couldn’t, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone. I was really excited to read this one and was bummed that it fell so far below my expectations. If you’ve never read Stephanie Perkins I would suggest picking up one of her previous novels first. If you read this first, you may be turned off her books forever, which with be a shame. I’ve read some of her earlier works and found them to be funny and charming with endearing characters… Read more »
We are almost a week into 2018 and that’s when I usually set out my reading goals for the year. Last year I set my reading goal at 70 books, which I did not meet. While I don’t really care about the numbers, not meeting …
Happy New Year! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. Hopefully you got a little time off to spend with family and friends or just chilling out by yourself. Personally I wish I’d had more chill out time but I can’t complain, since …
My favorite time of year is upon us and I am really looking forward to fall weather and events. While I hate to lose the daylight hours, fall is my favorite season and I love the cooling crispness in the air. California hasn’t had the …
Hi, everyone. I am doing something a little different today. A few months ago I signed up for my first book subscription box. No doubt you’ve heard about them. Basically you sign up for a subscription to a service that sends you a box every …
Hello again! It’s been a while since my last post. It’s been quite busy over the last few months and I just haven’t felt the urge to sit down in front of a computer after staring at one all day. But fear now, I’ve still …
Hi, guys! The year is just flying by. Sorry I haven’t been around much. I moved recently and things are finally settling down. I hope that means I’ll have a bit more time to blog, but we shall see. We are getting into what my …
Hi, everyone! Popping by today to let you all know of a reading challenge that I’ve joined for the month of April. A Very ARCish Readathon is being hosted by Bookshelves and Paperbacks and the basic premise is to just read ARCs in the month of April. …
I picked this book up about a year ago, excited to finally finish this great series, when I found myself losing interest and putting it down. I didn’t think I’d wait this long to come back to it, but I’m glad that I did. I picked up where I left off and was immediately drawn back into this world of magic, gods, and assassins. Mortal Heart gets off to a much slower start than its predecessors. I think the reason I stalled on it the first time was that it takes a lot longer to get into the meat of the plot than the first two books. In hindsight, however, I think the pacing fits Annith’s story well. Her life isn’t one of danger… Read more »
