Blog Tour: My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie

April 20, 2018 by Ann Marie 12 Comments

"In the secret seethings of my discontented heart, I've searched for a life that is my own. A life not consumed by the questions he left in his wake—riddles I will never solve about our marriage, our family, and the suffering to which he exposed us. I've searched for a meaning to my existence not swallowed up by Hamilton's shadow. By his genius. By his greatness. By his folly."  Welcome to my ...

Mini Review: The Storm King by Brendan Duffy

March 18, 2018 by Ann Marie 4 Comments

The Good: Cover - It's one of the most beautiful covers I've seen in a long time. Atmosphere - Greystone Lake is the perfect setting for this book. The atmosphere is picturesque and immediately ominous. Writing - I found Brendan Duffy's writing style to be straightforward and easy to read. It was smart without being pretentious and very descriptive without being flowery. Pacing - For ...

Review: The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs

March 13, 2018 by Ann Marie 6 Comments

The Last Equation of Isaac Severy is a delightfully fresh literary mystery. It was just the thing to get me out of a the little slump I'd been in. I wasn't in the mood for something terribly heavy or terribly morbid. I'm always up for quirky characters. No matter that the quirkiest character was deceased prior to Chapter One. (Of an apparent suicide. In a hot tub. With a string of Christmas ...

Review: Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance by Ruth Emmie Lang

February 6, 2018 by Ann Marie 24 Comments

Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance

"My name is Weylen Grey, and I'm near-sighted, allergic to ragweed, and my feet are flat. I can't cast spells, I don't grant wishes, and I'm not sure if I can turn a frog into a prince, but I have no intention of finding out. Some people like to think I can affect the weather, but I'd still recommend a a good, old-fashioned umbrella for keeping the rain off. It's also been said that I can talk to ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Little Broken Things

December 6, 2017 by Ann Marie 6 Comments

Nicole Bart

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour of Little Broken Things! I was very excited to read this book based on the blurb. The gorgeous cover certainly did not hurt! I was quickly drawn in by the first few chapters. After all, it's not every day that a sister alters the appearance of a child, assigns her a new name, and drops her off at her semi-estranged sister's house with no explanation. But ...

Happy December and $100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

December 1, 2017 by Ann Marie 30 Comments

Amazon Giveaway

I can't believe the holidays are already upon us and it's almost time to say goodbye to 2017! In terms of reading and blogging, I didn't quite meet all of my goals. (Thank you Goodreads for allowing me to adjust my reading goal so I don't feel so horrible every time I realize how far behind I am!) I don't think I'm going to set many goals for 2018. I'm just going to continue plugging along and ...
