About Me & The Blog






I'm a twenty-something budding journalist with a not-so-secret desire to branch out into publishing too. I grew up in Metropolitan Detroit and currently reside just outside of Washington, D.C. Books have been a passion of mine since the age of three when my mother would take me on weekly weekend trips to the local library. I refuse to label myself a bookaholic :), but I will admit to frequent reading binges where I consume about one book per day.

I'm always open to any suggestions for my site, so feel free to contact me.

FTC Disclosure:

Any books received for review from authors/publicists/publishers will be noted as such at the beginning of the review. If there is no such note, the book is personal property.

I'm an Amazon Associate. Most book titles will be linked to Amazon who will, in turn, give me a small commission from any purchases gained through my links. The commission will go towards paying the shipping costs on giveaways hosted here.

About My Blog Features

Rookie Wednesday: Where I interview authors with recent or upcoming debut novels.

Currently Coveting: Posts (usually on Tuesdays) that feature several already released novels along with a few upcoming releases that I've added to my wishlist.

Friday Feature: Regular Friday posts that can be about anything that catches my fancy.

Pint Sized 'Pinions: Posts (usually on Thursdays) that contain a few brief reviews.

(Un)Cover: Wherein I showcase and discuss a new book cover that's caught my eye.

Thoughts: Periodic, book-related discussion posts.

Lists: Occasional, themed posts discussing a list something bookish. Ex. Favorite Heroines

Now & Then - Re-Read Reviews: Occasional (at least monthly) revisits of books that I've read 5 or more years ago. I compare and contrast my previous and currens opinions.
