Do you read the extras in books, like the dedication pages or acknowledgements or any other extras? I’m kind of hit or miss with them. Well, more of a miss, I guess. I feel like I should read the dedications and/or acknowledgements because I’m sure the authors put a lot of thought into them, but unless they’re short, then I end up skipping them. Sometimes both the dedications and acknowledgements can get long and wordy. I’m ... Read More
I saw this in my Facebook feed this week and thought it would make a good discussion post, the Top 100 Romance Novels on Goodreads in honor of Romance Week. They searched through thousands of romance novels to come up with this list of the top 100 romance novels of all time. However, they limited the results to only books aimed at adult audiences, so no YA novels. Also, the books had to have at least a 4.0 average rating. The list includes mostly ... Read More
My family hosted Thanksgiving this year, and we're getting ready for a quick/mini-vacation; so I've been really busy. I haven't had much time to read.

Thankfully, I was reading at home late at night, so there were no witnesses – I hate crying ... Read More
So, I saw some interesting news on Professional Fangirls. (I follow them on Facebook, LOL). It seems The Mortal Instruments series will be making it's way to our TV screens sometime in the future. No idea on when or any other details other than Constantin Film is hoping to go into production sometime next year. You can read the article here. So, if there is a Mortal Instruments TV show, will you watch it? I would definitely check it out to ... Read More
Thought this would be a good question with it being October and all – soon it will be time for all the ghosts and goblins to go trick-or-treating for Halloween. October is the “spooky” month, so does this time of year make you want to read more spooky, scary, or horror books? Or do you like to read horror novels regardless of the time of year? What are some of your favorite horror or scary books and/or authors? For me, it doesn't matter the ... Read More
