Another blogger mentioned this book a few days ago (sorry, I can't recall which one) and the title caught my interest right away. Then I read the blurb about it and I knew it was definitely something that I want to check out. The first installment of an adventure featuring stolen books, secret agents and... Continue Reading →
Tell me you didn't look at that cover of Wink Poppy Midnight and immediately want the book. According to many of the reviews I've read about it, the writing is supposed to be equally as beautiful. Some people found the story to be confusing, but it could be because there are three unreliable narrators all trying to... Continue Reading →
I have another serious case of cover-love with Love, Lies and Spies by Cindy Anstey. Synopsis: Juliana Telford is not your average nineteenth-century young lady. She’s much more interested in researching ladybugs than marriage, fashionable dresses, or dances. So when her father sends her to London for a season, she’s determined not to form any attachments....

I'm probably going to wait until I find out how many books are in the series, because I'm just not up for... Continue Reading →
Broken Dolls (Broken Dolls #1) by Tyrolin Puxty looks so creepy and awesome that I have to add it to the TBR list. I'm going to try to keep my resolution to only buy new books once I have finished at least 5 of my old ones, so this one is going to have to... Continue Reading →

Maybe a Fox by Kathi Appelt Synopsis: Sylvie and Jules, Jules and Sylvie. Better than just sisters, better than best friends, they’d be... Continue Reading →

I just found out that one of my favourite Canadian authors has another book coming some day (I have no idea when) and I had to share it with you! So let's talk about Flickers by Arthur Slade! Synopsis: A movie scream so piercing, so chilling and so powerful, it will open up another dimension and... Continue Reading →
I'm constantly adding new books to my TBR list, so I'm going to share my latest additions with you so I'm not the only one checking out these amazing books. 😉 The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder by Rachel McMillan Synopsis: In 1910 Toronto, while other bachelor girls perfect their domestic skills and find husbands, two friends perfect their...

EDIT: Awww... crap... just realized that today is Tuesday. Oh wells! Calvin by Martine Leavitt looks super interesting! I didn't see it at my store today when I was putting out the new releases, so I'm going to have to track it down. YA books about mental illness are one of my favourite things to read....
