Update: Life and Books (Nov 2020)

We did it! We voted Trump out! I know I'm a little late with that celebration, but I couldn't not share my excitement. It's just such a relief to know we won't be subjected to the catastrophe that four more years of him would've been. In other, less significant news (but still significant to me)... I cut my hair! (Literally cut it myself!) And I'm excited about it! It's a big deal for me since...
 
Bookish Musings: Character Names I’ve Mispronounced

Bookish Musings: Character Names I’ve Mispronounced

This is just a quick, fun post because I haven't done any fun posts or discussions in a while. I had really wanted to get something else posted today, to be honest, because I have a couple posts that really ought to be posted at the beginning of the year, but oh well. My headaches have been too much of a problem lately, and those posts require too much staring at the computer screen, so hopefully...
 
Book Review: The Fires of Tartarus (The French Vampire Legend Book 3) by Emma V. Leech

Book Review: The Fires of Tartarus (The French Vampire Legend Book 3) by Emma V. Leech

Jehenne thinks her trip into the depths of Tartarus is the most difficult thing she'll have to endure in the near future but soon discovers how wrong she is. Corvus is not the same man he used to be, an entire family of vampires is looking to her to lead them, there's an angry god out set on dragging her back into the Underworld to be his lover, the Vampire Senate has become suspicious and is...
 
Bookish Tag Post: You’re Not Good Enough Tag

Bookish Tag Post: You’re Not Good Enough Tag

This sounds like it's going to be a really sad or mean kinda tag, right? But don't you fret, it's actually really fun. The way it works is, you take 30 characters from books you've read, you choose two to use for each question, then you decide which is the better of the two for the answer. I tried to keep this as random as possible, so I chose the books mostly randomly by using my Goodreads...
 
Book Recs: 10 Lesser-Known Books about Vampires

Book Recs: 10 Lesser-Known Books about Vampires

As your friendly, neighborhood vampire-loving book blogger, I feel it is my duty to promote all the great vampire books out there. Ok, I actually just made that up because it sounded good. But that doesn't make it any less true! I do in fact love vampire books, and I feel like they've gotten a bad rap over the years. So whether you're already a die-hard vampire fan or are just a fan of good...
 
Book Review: The Heart of Arima (The French Vampire Legend Book 2) by Emma V. Leech

Book Review: The Heart of Arima (The French Vampire Legend Book 2) by Emma V. Leech

Corvus and Jehenne finally get to be together, but their troubles aren't over because they still have to make a trip back to the Underworld. But Jehenne has been having visions about a baby, and Corvus is not the father, which means she'll have to choose between Corvus or her future child, and neither choice is going to be without consequence, especially when Corvus finds...
 
Book Review: The Key to Erebus (The French Vampire Legend Book 1) by Emma V. Leech

Book Review: The Key to Erebus (The French Vampire Legend Book 1) by Emma V. Leech

Jehenne has recently moved in with her grandmother in France and is shocked to discover that not only are all sorts of supernatural creatures real, she herself is a powerful witch. Her first meeting with the mysterious and dangerous vampire Corvus doesn't go well, neither does the second when he tries to kill her, but she soon finds herself drawn to him and pulled deeper into the supernatural...

The Weekly Update: 1/1/17

Happy New Year, everyone! Does anyone else think it's kind of awesome that the first day of the new year falls on a Sunday? I still consider Sundays to be the start of the week (even though it seems that Monday has become the new start of the week for most people for some reason), so I think it's cool. But anyway... I have to admit that my year isn't off to a very good start. I still have tennis...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Female Characters from Books I Read in 2016

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Female Characters from Books I Read in 2016

Yay, time for another character post! I do so love these, guys. Except, unfortunately, I didn't seem to find very many female characters I loved this year. I really don't know why I struggle so much to find female characters I like. Well, I suppose part of the problem could be that I read a lot of M/M fiction and therefore read about females less, proportionally speaking, but never fear, I still...
