Alright y'all--I'm transferring the posts from here to my regular blog, because I keep forgetting that I even have this blog. I'll go ahead and keep the blog up, but I won't be posting here. So, to read my reviews, go HERE. <3

Gosh, it's been a while! I'm so sorry I've been lacking over here--I have been reading (kinda) but I'm in the middle of moving from one place to a new place and the new one is...well, let's just say it needs a lot of work.

2010-03-14T20:38:00.017-05:00

This is my first In My Mailbox meme, which I've titled On The Shelf despite the fact that most of my books are pretty spread around. *wince*I've actually picked up a few books the past few days, and I can't wait to dive into them once I've caught myself up on reviews and such. (I have been beyond slacking.)Demon hunter Maxine Kiss wears her armor as tattoos, which unwind from her body to take on

I suck, I know! I was supposed to post the reviews for The Hunger Games books and the 2nd half of Percy Jackson books...and I didn't. *hangs head in shame* This month has been like molasses mixed with ether--slow and sleepy.

Tomorrow I'll post the The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and the 2nd half of the Percy Jackson & The Olympians reviews. For now, I figured I'd show you guys a couple of this year's book covers that have me drooling... Fire + streams of light + one bad-ass chick with a gun =Awesomeness.

He's drawn to her-but he has his own soul

New Look, New Book

Whenever I open a new blog (and you would be surprised at how many blogs I've had), I tend to have a few months of searching for just the right template.
