Blog postSometimes when writing a novel, you have to kill your darlings. And this was the case for me with Past Imperfect.
Ana Espinosa-Lawson is one of my favorite characters in the series. She’s morally gray and goes through quite a journey to find her own happiness. One of her flaws is her skepticism. She doubts Miles’s ability to time travel frequently and causes chaos as a result. In this flashback scene, Ana, whose personality was inpsired somewhat by my favorite dubious character, Dana3 years ago Read more -

Description:
The year is 1994 and alternative is in. But not for alternative girl Tabitha Denton; she hates her life.

Blog postThis week I had planned on reading The Ship Beyond Time, but then the sequel to Not Your Sidekick landed in my inbox, and I switched to Not Your Villain. Sorry ’bout it. Except I’m not sorry at all. I’ve been dying to read this one. I’m also listening to Jenny Lawson’s Furiously Happy, which has been on my TBR list for far too long. And since it’s about her struggles with mental illness, I thought World Mental Health Day would be a great day to talk about it.

Blog postThis week I chose to start on a dollar store find called The Sweetheart by Angelina Mirabella. This one is about a 1950s female wrestler, and I was sold on buying it on the description alone. Unfortnately, the execution is leaving much to be desired. After the prologue, this book is written in second person, as if the author is talking to herself or remembering events. But instead of saying, “I did this,” or “She did this,” the author used, “You did this.” It’s an uncommon style for fiction w3 years ago Read more

Blog postHopefully this will be the first of many posts about books I’m currently reading. This installment features Island of Exiles (Book 1 in the Ryogan Chronicles) by Erica Cameron and A World Without You by Beth Revis (which I’m technicaly listening to as an audiobook).
Things I’m loving: Island of Exiles is such a lush world, despite taking place in a desert. The setting, characters and plot are all richly crafted. I’m dying to finish this one. I hope book two comes out soon because I ha4 years ago Read more
