Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Passengers by John Marrs

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Passengers by John Marrs

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Passengers by John Marrs. I'd been seeing this one getting a lot of attention for weeks prior to being asked to join the tour so how could I possibly say no? Aside from that, I also found myself drawn to the futuristic plot which may or may not have anything to do with my childhood fascination with The Jetsons. Have you ever been in your kitchen and ...

Blog Tour: I’ll Be Your Blue Sky by Marisa de los Santos

Blog Tour: I’ll Be Your Blue Sky by Marisa de los Santos

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for I'll Be Your Blue Sky by Marisa de los Santos. For whatever reason, I didn't read this book when it was first released but, after reading the reviews, I had a ton of FOMO. I was very excited to be asked to join the blog tour and finally read the book I'd been reading so much about. I was definitely not disappointed! I'll Be Your Blue Sky is one of those ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Vox by Christina Dalcher

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Vox, one of the most hyped and anticipated books of 2018. I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to join this blog tour and I'm equally excited to share my thoughts with you! "Monsters aren't born, ever. They're made, piece by piece and limb by limb, artificial creations of madmen who, like the misguided Frankenstein, always think they know better." If ...

Review: Our House by Louise Candlish

July 18, 2018 by Ann Marie 14 Comments

Review: Our House by Louise Candlish

If you've been monitoring my tweets (and why wouldn't you be?) you've seen that I started fangirling over Our House the moment I started it. I don't really do the fangirl gushing thing very well or very often but I've found some difficulty in restraining myself with this book. I will do my best to maintain some level of coherency in an effort to convey to you, as best I can, why I loved it. The ...

Review: The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir

Review: The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir

If you, like me, have been seeing The Book of Essie everywhere, it's with good reason. Meghan MacLean Weir's debut novel is a fearless and timely story that's bound to elicit visceral emotional responses in the reader. One can't help but make comparisons between Essie's story and that of a certain reality television show family. Thankfully, there were enough departures to make the story feel fresh ...

Audiobook Review: The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell

Audiobook Review: The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell

I'm beginning to learn that audiobooks either work or do not for me. There is no middle ground. I'm happy to report that The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell definitely worked! There are many things I loved about this book but my overwhelming response upon finishing it was Wow, this book was so refreshing! I can't recall the last time I read a book centered around a likable protagonist with an ...

Blog Tour and Review: That Summer in Puglia by Valeria Vescina

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for That Summer in Puglia by Valeria Vescina. In addition to jet lag, I'm now officially suffering from the dreaded Book Hangover Syndrome. This is my first blog tour as part of the #BTEAM with Bookcollective and I'm thrilled to be sharing my thoughts on this book today.

Throwback Thursday: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I’m often distracted by all of the shiny, new books I see every day and don’t make it back to the ones that have been sitting on my shelves. My pick of the the week is: The Paris Wife by Paula ...
