Hi! This post is a little late going up today. I had a bit of a Veronica Mars marathon last night, which is no surprise if you have seen my Twitter. Anyway, welcome back to the fifth day of Poetic Justice! I hope you have been enjoying the other poets’ posts. I know I have. Poetic Justice is a month long event, beginning April 1st to April 30th in honor of National Poetry Month. Throughout April there will be interviews, guest posts, excerpts and other poetic posts. I hope you will follow along. To read the introductory post, read about my poetic background as well as the schedule for the month, you can find out more here. Today I have an interview with Lexi Vranick.  I love all of these answers, but a specific few I love a ton. Check them out! Poetry has meant so much for me since […]

  Hi everyone! It may be hard to believe, but I have been a book blogger for almost four years now. In all that time, I have never hosted an event on my blog. I’ve had features where authors have guest posted, I’ve done interviews and blog tours, but never anything all me. Well, that is changing! If you’ve seen my Twitter, you may see me posting fairly often that I am starting a tentatively month long event in April in honor of National Poetry Month. I am seeking poetesses and poets to be featured on my humble blog. Here are some quick breakdowns: *This event is open to traditionally published, self published and non-published poets. *I am definitely wanting marginalized voices involved in this. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested, please let them know. *You can have an interview with me via email or Twitter, […]

What better way to kick off a Monday than a blog tour? Today I’ll be reviewing the Contemporary YA novel, Fade To Us. Title: Fade To Us Author: Julia Day Published: February 6th (Wednesday Books) Genres: Contemporary Format: eARC Source: Publisher Goodreads Summary: Fade To Us is a story about found families, the bond of sisterhood, and the agony and awe of first love. Brooke’s summer is going to be EPIC–having fun with her friends and a job that lets her buy a car. Then her new stepfather announces his daughter is moving in. Brooke has always longed for a sibling, so she’s excited about spending more time with her stepsister. But she worries, too. Natalie has Asperger’s–and Brooke’s not sure how to be the big sister that Natalie needs. After Natalie joins a musical theater program, Brooke sacrifices her job to volunteer for the backstage crew. She’s mostly there […]

I am once again trying to kick off my reading year by getting a head start with a read-athon. I’ve done this a few times by now, with some years going better than others. Nevertheless, I’ll be giving it the good old college try which didn’t actually turn out to well itself, but. If you are not familiar with Bout of Books, they’ve provided a nice blurb about it here: The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – […]

 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The ladies at The Broke and The Bookish. Every week they pick a topic for the book community to take part in.  You can go here to see future topics. I’m so excited to finally do a Top Ten Tuesday again. Today’s topic is a pretty standard one as Christmas is approaching ~Top Ten Books I Hope Santa Brings~ Roomies by Christina Lauren I don’t usually read too much adult fiction, but it is always something I get interested in. Roomies has an interesting premise to me regarding a marriage to help one from being deported. A The Proposal tea, if you will. I’ve heard a lot about this book lately on Twitter so hopefully it’s enjoyable. Not Now, Not Ever by Lily Anderson Well, to be honest, I haven’t read Lily’s first book, which I would need before reading this. Alas, like with […]

I complained about this yesterday though. 😉 On to what I am looking forward to: ~August 1~        ~August 8~      ~August 15~ ~August 22~     ~August 28~     Most Excited For:  The Epic Crush of Genie Lo without a doubt.
