Julie’s Review: Unfortunately, did not work for me. I almost DNF’d this book twice (but instead took a break and listened to something else and then came back to it to try again). The idea was an interesting one – a story of the Earth’s creation from the perspective of the spirit world. From the […]
Do you read fanfiction? Or, do you write it? What are your thoughts on fanfic in general? Julie: I can’t say that I’ve read very much fanfiction. I guess I’m more interested in the stories themselves, then a reading what a fan’s does with the characters and story world. I realize that the Fifty Shades […]
Julie’s 2015 Audiobook Challenge Update: Original Goal: I previously mentioned that I am hoping to reach the Marathoner level. I know I can reach the lower levels of “My Precious” easily so I kind of want to challenge myself, since audio books are like the only way I read these days anyway. (Thank you 3 hour […]

Let’s start with the positives. I really liked Darcy at first. She had purpose and […]
Do you end up purchasing multiple copies of books with new covers? So, if a book cover for a series changes (like all the Harry Potter changes, and the movie tie-in editions to all those YA books lately), do you end up buying the books again with the new covers? Julie: Nope. I’m more of a […]

Julie’s Review: I’m a mermaid at heart, so this mermaid romance short got my attention. This is a cute romance, a short and sweet novella, even if it is predictable. Without reading the blurb, which is spoilery already, you know quickly what is going to happen. As soon as Kate describes Cooper as having short […]
Let’s chat about the Thriller/Suspense book genre. Do you have any favorites to share? Julie: I don’t read too much in this genre, but there are a few I’ve loved over the years. I tore through a bunch of the books, with the Robert Langdon series (The DaVinci Code being the most popular and my […]
