November 4, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

I'm sorry to say that with the Holiday's coming up, Flashback Friday will be on holiday (as the Brit's say) until January.  I have so many projects to finish before Christmas!  I will keep blogging in the meantime, but if you are dying to read some embarrassing memories of my past you can always check ...

Book Review: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

November 3, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

This book drags. Don't get me wrong - I can relate a lot to Bella in this book. Oddly enough, my first break-up felt the same way. Her bitterness especially about how love gives someone the power to break you really gets to me.  However, there isn't much plot and even the conversations seem to take ... Read More »

Waiting on Wednesday: Vengeance by Michelle Madow

November 2, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Waiting on Wednesday 5 Comments

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. The first book had a nice, finished ending so I am curious as to where Michelle is going to take this story.  It sounds unique to the YA genre.  What if, instead of a love triangle the ...

Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn: New Moon Alt. Playlist

November 1, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

Here's the alternate playlist for New Moon.  If you want to see the other playlist, go to my Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn Week 2 post. Some videos have commercials because they are the "official" versions.  Sorry about that.  I've listed the chapter that each song goes with in New Moon. This playlist has so many great songs ...
