In My Mailbox ~5~

September 12, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: In My Mailbox 2 Comments

In My Mailbox was inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie and is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the week. Since I LOVE book cover art on my kindle, I took my own pictures of the covers of my ebooks.   Princess of ... Read More »

Flashback Friday: Life is an Endless Highway

September 9, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Flashback Friday 1 Comment

Flashback Friday is where I post some writing of my life as a younger me. When I was 13, we drove across the country, from Utah to Vermont, to visit my dad's family. We went on this vacation for 3 weeks, so I'm dividing this post up into 3 parts. This post is about the ... Read More »

Waiting on Wednesday: Fateful by Claudia Gray

September 7, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Waiting on Wednesday 2 Comments

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. As a general rule, I don't read the summaries that come with a novel, so I only know two things about this book: stand-alone novel and Titanic.  And that's all I need.  Plus, Cassandra Clare gave it ...

Book Review: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

September 6, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I found myself alternately heart broken at Evie's life and laughing at the way she looked at it.  I felt like laughing and crying at the same time throughout the whole thing. Kiersten White's writing style was utterly unique and very entertaining. I can't remember the last time that I read something so wonderfully sarcastic ... Read More »
