Book Browse has this cute quiz called: What’s your reading personality? So we thought we’d take it and share our results 🙂 Julie: Your Reading Personality: Exacting Reader! The expression ‘so many books, so little time!’ sums up your life. You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you’d like […]
Julie’s Review I listened to the audio version of Calling Me Home and absolutely loved it. This was a book club selection, and definitely a book outside my comfort zone. I tend to shy away from race books because they are often preachy and can be depressing. While the story in this […]

Welcome to Chapter Break’s stop in Gliterary Girl‘s Summer of Love hop! We are a tour host with Gliterary Girl and are excited to participate. I was trying to think up some summer reading recommendations for a romance theme, and then I realized I don’t really read summery romance type of books. My co-blogger does […]
Julie’s Review This was a short read so it will be a short review. Honestly, this was a bit of a waste of time. There were some funny moments in Magnus Bane’s misadventures in Peru, but overall this was just silly and didn’t even answer the question! I really liked Magnus Bane in […]
Feature for Aug 9, 2013 – Back to school. Create a reading list for the imaginary English Lit class you’ll be teaching this semester. Rose: Okay, so I am never sure how to determine if a book is school appropriate or not, but here are a few that I would teach in my imaginary class: […]
