Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

Cover Reveal: 100 Days in Deadland and Giveaway

100 Days in Deadland by Berinn Rae Cover Design by Berinn Rae The world ended on a Thursday. In less than three days, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering plague monsters with an insatiable hunger for the living. There is no shelter. No government. In this new world, you’re either a survivor or a victim. Still in her twenties, Cash has seen thousands die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she teams up with Clutch, a grizzled big rig driver with PTSD. Together, they fight through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch’s military experience and Cash’s belief that humanity is not yet lost. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead… or the living. This is the beginning after the end. 100 Days in Deadland is a journey through “Dante’s Inferno,” the first poem in Dante Alighieri's classic tale Divi

Blog Tour: Twisted Perfection Review and Giveaway

Twisted Perfection  (Perfection #1) by Abbi Glines ★★★★☆ Release Date: April 22, 2013 Age: New Adult/ Adult Genre: Contemporary Romance, Issues, drama, love, family issues Format: ebook Source: AToMR Tours Buy it: Amazon | Barnes and Noble Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected… Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help. What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was

Book Blogger Confessions #4

Here's what it's all about: "Started in January 2012, by Karen - For What It's Worth & Tiger - Tiger's All Consuming Media & now co-hosted with my good friend Pam from Midnyte reader,  Book Blogger Confessions  is a meme that posts the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month, where book bloggers "confess" and vent about blogging/bookish topics. Feel free to share, vent and offer solutions. Just keep it respectful - no bashing authors or other bloggers!" April 15th Topic: How long do you see yourself blogging for? Do you think it's okay for a blog to evolve over time? For example: You may have started out as a book review blog but now your interest is in cooking as well. Do you incorporate that or start over? I want to address the last question first; I do think it's okay for a blog to evolve over time. No one should feel obligated to continue something they don't enjoy. Most of us aren't being payed to blog so do something you enjoy

Top 10 Tuesday #15

Check out all the info here at The Broke and The Bookish's website! April 16th: Top Ten Tuesday REWIND-Pick a past topic you missed or want to revisit! The previous Top Ten Tuesday I picked was Top Ten Reasons why I love blogging 1. First, and most important, it's fun! I love being able to share what I read with others and maybe influence others into reading a book. 2. It connects with me a bunch of people. I really like how by blogging I've discovered so many authors, and so many people have stopped by my blog to talk and share their blogs as well which helps me get to know them better. 3. Blogging helps me discover new genres in books. When I first started blogging I was stuck in one genre, Young Adult. Which, I know this has a lot of sub-genres but I was mainly reading contemporary romances, and now I'm reading more mystery, adult, dystopian, etc. 4. Blogging also really helps me stay on track with all the books I've purchased and keeps me on track for my reading

Happy Birthday Abbi Glines! Giveaway!

     I made the comment a few months ago about Abbi being a literary rock star. Her rock star status continues to grow and along with it her fan base. This woman deserves every bit of fame and the following she's secured. I love her writing, her witty sense of humor, her southern accent, and her ability to create swoon worthy boys. She is freaking amazing! Happy Birthday Abbi Glines!      My obsession with Abbi began with a little novel called Breathe , the first book in the Sea Breeze series. I'm not really sure how I came across it, probably  Goodreads , but as soon as I started it I knew I found a new favorite author. I read it, loved it, and here we are folks. Breathe is definitely more YA and less risque than her other novels, but I happen to love it just the way it is! Just as I do the other books!      Minus the Existence series, WHICH I OWN AND WILL READ eventually, I have read all of her other books released books; including an ARC of the upcoming  Twisted Perfection
