Julie’s Review: In Short: The Diviners was on my TBR for a while now and I bought the ebook when it was a daily deal. I finally got around to reading it when Rose’s book club picked it for February, but since I’m moving I knew I wouldn’t have time to actually read the book, […]
What etiquette do you follow on contacting an author after posting review of their work? Is it different if they gave you a complimentary copy for review? Julie: When I publish a 5 star review of a book I’ll tweet @ the author in case they want to share. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. But for 5 […]

Author Interview: Michelle Madow What do you do when a new idea jumps out at you while you’re still working on a book? Do you chase the squirrel (aka “UP syndrome”) or do you finish your current project first? I naturally love finishing projects I start, so I’m very focused on completing a book […]
Julie’s Review: I’m not really sure what to make of All The Truth That’s In Me. I definitely did not find it “riveting” as the audiobook cover quote says, and based on the other reviews I see on Goodreads, it might just be me. The narrator did a good job, and the writing was very […]
Feature for February 28, 2014 – Change the Plot. If you could, what book would you change the ending or a plot thread? Go ahead and do it…change it. Julie: If I could change the plot ending of any book it would be Gone Girl. The book was so crazy and it definitely can give you […]

Julie’s Review: Starters has a very Dollhouse feel to it, so I was immediately intrigued. We have a post-war world where only the young and the very old survived because they were the first to be vaccinated.

Julie’s Review: I liked Point of Retreat as a follow up to Slammed, but I did like Slammed a lot more. I didn’t know at first that Point of Retreat would be told from Will’s POV, so that was a nice surprise. Although, now I’m not sure if I’ll be interested in reading the third […]
