Dare You To by Katie McGarry Book Cover

Book Review: Dare You To

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk’s home life, they’d send her mother to jail and 17 year old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom’s freedom and her own happiness. That’s how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn’t want her and going to a school that doesn’t understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn’t get her, but does… Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock, with secrets he can’t tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn’t be less interested in him.

Book Review: Pushing the Limits

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with “freaky” scars on her arms.

Top Ten Tuesday – Characters I Want With Me On A Deserted Island

Top Ten Characters on my Deserted Island Dream Team Before I can make my selections, I need to determine if this is a ship-wrecked scenario that requires essential life-skills, or some form of a paradise island that would therefore require brawn and eye-candy. I think I’ll opt for both. Here come the Girls! 1. Katniss […]

Sharing the Bloggy Love <3

There are many things I love about blogging. I love the fact it has re-introduced me to reading. I love that I can share feels, and hype, and my bookish obsessions with other like-minded people, I love the great discussions, and memes and all sorts of other informative, and witty, and wonderful posts out there.

Acknowledgements and Dedications

Fact about me – when I was younger I read the acknowledgements and dedications of books. Religiously. They were usually short and sweet and they made me feel “closer” to my favourite authors. Roll on (quite) a few years, and I realised that I don’t read the acknowledgements and dedications anywhere near as often as […]

Official Gone Girl Trailer is Released! *UPDATE*

*UPDATE* 11/07/2014 A new and (in my opinion) approved trailer has been released for Gone Girl! I’m really looking forward to this adaptation. I loved the book and hated the ending, but still love it overall. Go figure. This trailer is a big improvement on the first one, but I think they’re maybe giving away […]

Top Ten Tuesday – My Bookish Blogging Confessions

Top Ten Bookish Blogging Confessions I tried to keep this week about blogging confessions, but kept straying towards bookish-related blogging confessions, which I suppose makes more sense. I’ve always wanted to do a “confessions” series of posts (fits nicely with my blog theme, right?) but I haven’t managed to get round to it yet, it […]
