Confession: I Wrote in a Book

October 28, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 11 Comments

Let me start off by saying that I have always believed in treating my books in a way that keeps them in pristine condition.  No dog-earring pages, no breaking the spine, and definitely no writing in them ... until recently. I've committed a bookish sin of writing in my book and I have to say - it's ... Read More »

Book Review: Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

October 20, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Short and Sweet Version No, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do not just switch lines.  But, I'm not going to lie - a lot of the book is copied and pasted.  Little details are different like Beau opening the door for Edythe and Edythe smiling all the time.  Seriously, why is she smiling all the time? ...

Book Review: Aspen Everlasting by Kathryn Cooper

October 13, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Aspen Everlasting is a fun paranormal romance.  This is the perfect fit for young teens as well as adults who want a clean romance that is entertaining to read. I'm not always a fan of romances because they feel cheesy sometimes, but there was plenty of humor and teasing that kept the cheesiness at bay.  This quote is ... Read More »
