Julie’s Review: Defects is a great dystopia full of action and betrayal and psychic abilities. I loved that this book doesn’t follow the trope of our heroine finding out she’s something special and taking a long time to accept her new existence. This story drops us into the Dream Traveler’s world, where everyone has special […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I had moderately high hopes for Storm. After all, I did purchase it. And nominate it for a book club read. But sadly, it didn’t really pan out. I started out loving Storm. Well, maybe loving is a bit strong. It was more I found Storm hilarious. Though, I’m guessing not as the […]

Lynn’s Review: I once watched an interview with an actor discussing character shipping. The basic gist of the interview was this: We (readers, or in this case, watchers of TV shows) don’t want couples to actually get together. What we want is the prospect of a couple getting together. The flirting. The foreplay. Once the […]
Lynn’s Review: A book club selection + a shelf love book is a great combo. This means I can at least say I read one book off my shelf this month. Plus, a joint review! The main premise here is a messy family story, more than a romance. Set on a bio-dynamic winery. Georgia has […]
Julie’s Review: I’ve had Runes on my to-read for a while and was happy to receive the audio for review since that meant I would actually get to read it (since just about all of my reading is on audiobooks on my commute these days). I like Raine, she’s a bookworm and also a Supernatural […]

Julie’s Review: I started reading Chameleon shortly after finishing the first book, Ripple. I loved the Ripple audio, but at the time had the trilogy ebooks and decided to try reading an ebook again. My schedule just wasn’t working out, with only reading a chapter or two on weekends, so I was happy to get […]
Lynn’s Review: Warning: If you are planning a cruise, skip reading The Living til afterwards. Trust me on that. The Living by Matt de la Pena is about a collection of characters on a cruise ship, trying to survive after an earthquake sets off a massive tsunami right in the path of the […]
