Darker (Fifty Shades as Told by Christian Grey)
by E.L. James What can I say? This series has sucked me in from the beginning, and continues to keep me sucked in. If you know anything about the Fifty Shades series, then you may already know that E.L. James created a whole separate trilogy set as told by Christian Grey. It is one of…

A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas I get the hype now. I had it in my mind that I wanted to read this before or around Christmas and I did it! I can’t wait to read more. Usually, I’m not a fantasy reader and can get a little deterred from the genre, but Maas does a great…

Pretty Girls
by Karin Slaughter I had such high hopes for this one because I really enjoy Karin Slaughter’s work usually, but this one was a flop for me. Its a three-star, but you may feel differently. Instead of re-telling the story for you, let me tell you my challenges with the book because the plot of…

Rock Bottom (Sisterhood #35)
by Fern Michaels I’m always hesitant reading a random book in a well-known or developed series, but I thought, here goes nothing! This one publishes on December 26th, so if you want to get a New Year’s present for someone, this may be your choice! We meet Zoe and Izzie, best friends, and they are…

Let’s talk about…Bookmarks
When you read a physical book, and you have to stop at a page (before completing, I know, what a sin!), what do you use as a bookmark? One with a tassel? Magnetic ones? Fancy metal bookmarks that look like hooks? Other fancy stringed ones? Or anything you can find – post it’s, scrap paper,…
