Content Warning: guns, death threats, mob violence, death, injury When I had the chance to join the blog tour for Holly Jackson’s newest novel, Five Survive, I knew I had to take it.

Hello again everyone. I’m back with another blog tour – this time I’m featuring The Q by Amy Tintera, a post-apocalyptic YA science fiction novel. Read on for more information on the book and my review of it. If you don’t know by now, I love a good thriller – YA, adult, you name it, I’m probably going to at least try it. But with this one, we also have the science fiction bent with the post-apocalyptic style which was intriguing to me. Characters There are a lot of characters in this book. Some play bigger roles than others, as always. I’m going to detail three characters here that I feel the need to talk about. Maisie Rojas Maisie Rojas is our female main character and she’s a great one. The daughter of the former second-in-command of the southern part of The Q, everyone expected her to take over when […]

Hello everyone. Today we have another blog tour, this time featuring Jennifer Lynn Alvarez’s new novel, Friends Like These. I’ll be reviewing the book for you today, so let’s get this party started! Ok, if you’ve been coming here long enough, you know that I absolutely LOVE a good suspense/thriller novel. Even better if it is a YA suspense/thriller novel. Trust me when I say this book doesn’t disappoint. Characters So let’s look at our characters: First, we have Tegan, who drives me up the wall. I’ve known girls like her – they think they’re so generous and so loyal, but the only person they’re truly loyal to is themselves. I really don’t care much for her, to be honest. She and Jessica used to be best friends, until Chloe came along that is. Next, we have Jessica. She’s one of our two main characters. She’s in love with Jake. […]

Hello everyone! Today I’m bringing you another blog tour – but this time, it has a review attached to it. So without further delay, here is my review of The Witch Hunt by Sasha Peyton Smith. If you like – no if you LOVE books about witches, you’ll definitely want to read The Witch Hunt (and The Witch Haven, which comes first in the series) by Sasha Peyton Smith. I have to say, I adored Maxine. I loved how irreverent she could be and the way that you could tell that she cared deeply for Frances and Lena. I was also very fond of Frances and of Oliver. I think they make an adorable couple, even if they might not be quite sure exactly what they are to each other. I had a difficult time putting this book down to do things I needed to do around the house. While […]

What the Blogging Gurus Don’t Tell You

I’m sure you’ve seen the posts. You know the ones I mean. “Improve Your SEO” or “How to Get Readers and Keep Them!” or “How to Keep Loving Blogging”. They tell you how to fix your SEO so Google will love you and show you on the first page of search results. They tell you how to get readers and keep them coming back – usually by insisting upon your having social media. They tell you all the hard things about blogging and then tell you how to help keep those things from making you quit. But there are things they don’t tell you. You won’t read any of these blogging gurus telling you that improving your SEO isn’t a guarantee that Google will love you and put you on the first page of search results for your keyword(s). They won’t tell you that getting readers takes time and effort […]
