Review: Home – J.A. Huss

Review: Home – J.A. Huss

Everything comes together perfectly in Home – in the very end! Both Vaughn and Grace still have some heartache to go through first, but they both step up to show how strong they are both as individual and as a couple! My Home review: Home makes the Social Media serial stay a roller coaster until the very end! Between doubts, very strong love, amazing characters and a story that made me feel out of breath, it truly brought the serial to a perfect ending. I was amazed by both Vaughn and Grace, even if I thought Grace did jump to conclusions at one point… The way Home folded out was so well done, and the dual point of views made […]

The Sunday Post #11- The Holiday Edition

The Sunday Post #11 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my weekly wrap-up post. I am signing up with Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. I’m sharing all the reviews and other posts I’ve added to the blog this week, and as you can see, I’ve been very busy signing up for several really great-looking challenges. Like several other bloggers, I’ve also opened an account with Tsü – it’s a social network (kind of like FB) that doesn’t hide any posts! We’ll see how it works out, I’m sure. If you want to check it out, please come and find me on Lexxie’s Tsü Profile. This week was my last week of classes, and I […]

STS #63 – BB&B #13 Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to your library – virtual or actual, with books that are  bought, borrowed, won or ARCs  you will be reading soon. BB&B is a homage to to Barron’s Books and Baubles from Karen Marie Moning’s amazing Fever series, and is hosted by Braine over at Talk Supe.

Blogtour Review: Shinigami Eyes – Cheree and Adam Smith

Blogtour Review: Shinigami Eyes – Cheree and Adam Smith

Shnigami Eyes follows Rin after her parents send her to Tokyo after an incident at her high-school dance in Australia, to help her get her life together. But it seems getting her life together isn’t all that easy. Welcome to my stop on the Shingami Eyes blogtour! I have my review and favourite quotes as usual, and there’s also a tour-wide giveaway for you to participate in. My Sinigami Eyes review: From the start, Shinigami Eyes drew me in completely. Rin intrigued me, and so did a vision she had while on the train from the airport, sitting next to her cousin. She was sure she saw a boy push a girl in front of a train on the other […]

2015 Audiobook Challenge Sign-up

2015 Audiobook Challenge Sign-up

2015 Audiobook Challenge Sign-up I have decided to do yet another challenge for 2015 – it kind of ties in with my 2015 Bookish Resolutions Challenge, and with my 2015 HW Challenge, so I figured why not? I own lots of audiobooks, but I’m not always so good at actually listening to those books. I have found a few narrators lately that I have really enjoyed, and so I thought that a challenge was just what I needed. The 2015 Audiobook Challenge is hosted by The Book Nympho and Hot Listens, here are the rules to follow if you decide to sign up as well: Runs January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015. You can join at anytime. The goal […]

Review: Profile – J.A. Huss

Review: Profile – J.A. Huss

Profile took me on a wild and very scary ride, as Grace had to figure out how to flee once more. With my heart in my throat, I kept wanting to close my eyes for fear something terrible would happen to one of my favourite heroines. My Profile review: Please beware that Profile is the fifth book in the Social Media series, and even if I try very hard to not post anything spoilerish, there are some spoilers from prior books in my review this time. If you aren’t up to date, read at your own discretion. In Profile, Grace and Vaughn are separated – not by choice – for most of the story, and it made all past decisions, […]

Up Close and (un)Conventional #11 – Bought vs ARCs

Up Close and (un)Conventional #11 – Bought vs ARCs

Up Close and (un)Conventional #11 – Bought books vs ARCs Welcome to this week’s Up Close and (un)Conventional. This is where I discuss both things that have to do with reading and blogging, and things that just have to do with life in general. This week, I’m discussing books I have bought versus ARCs I have requested and received. Going through the books I have read in 2014, I noticed a strange trend! Especially when I worked on my whole year wrap-up post. It seems I’m much better at reading ARCs than I am reading books I’ve bought. While it’s not so difficult to figure out why I read the ARCs first, it’s still a little disconcerting that I favour […]
