Professional Reader!


Every since I resigned my position, on the days I send my daughter to daycare, I have felt a bit lost. Someone suggested since I read so much and always review it on Goodreads, and had been thinking of beginning to use my blog to do reviews as well, that I should join NetGalley. I am so glad I did! So far I have reviewed 3 books and I was able to connect with one author. That is amazing!

More reviews to come!

Smash and Grab by Amy Christine Parker

Lexi is a spoiled rich girl who, in the fashion of The Bling Ring, enjoys risky stunts with her equally spoiled friends and brother. Who doesn't go base jumping off of a skyscraper in Downtown Los Angeles? Don't we all?  When her father is arrested for illegal activities at a bank he worked at, Lexi will do anything to help his boss also receive justice.  Christian is a teenage bank robber - he has to or else the gang that rules his hood will kill him and his family. The gang declares that one of the biggest jobs they have ever done is about to go down - with Christian and his friends a part of it all. How fateful that the two of them meet when they both want to take down the bank... For what it was, I really enjoyed this book. I have read reviews about people being upset that it was not realistic, or that it made it seem too easy to rob a bank. I don't know about you, but I don't read these types of stories as a "how-to" - well I don't even read how-t...

When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin

This charming story made me nostalgic for that time in your childhood when you begin to mature and you go crazy not understanding why your friends are acting strange, and why you begin to see people you knew your whole life in a different way. Charlie, having just started year nine (that's 13 years old for those who don't know) is going through a lot - her friends since childhood are changing (Max, Toby and Allie), her Aunt is sick and she's starting to have very vivid dreams that start coming true causing her to find out family secrets, and the thoughts of her friends.  When I read the summary, I thought this was going to be a fanciful tale of "I dreamed I could make people fly and look there they go." I'm so glad it wasn't. No one turned into a vampire. No one changed into an animal of any kind. No wizards, witches or bullying. Am I the only one who is getting sick of that? I feel like every time I walk into the young adult section, I am bombarded with H...

Daily Roundup - June is Here!

Hello my little blog! Let's play catch up for something other than a NetGalley review! Read:  I have SO many books that I want to read!! Where will I ever find the time to read them all? I have quite the backlog for my favorite authors, and also a few new authors. The book I have been dying to read is "Diary of a Haunting" by M. Verano, but I really want to wait and read it at night curled up in bed. Sarah Mlynowski's new one has come out that I also want to read. YIKES! I can't even list all of the series I need to finish, or the books sitting on my shelves gathering dust. But first? I am determined to get an 80% feedback rating on NetGalley, so I have about 20 more books to read to clear off my shelf. Right now I am laughing along to "Thirty Days to Thirty" by Courtney Psak (review to come soon as I should be able to finish this soon!) Write: Happy Father's Day! Right now I am finishing up publishing a book that was written by my daughter (ok...
