AKA my Subway distraction list! I’ve seen this floating around and think it’s an excellent idea. I read 8 and a quarter books in November, so I’m going to make my list based on that. I also need to wrap up the books I’ve started and have sitting on my Goodreads list. So we’ll go…

Catching up on reviews! After this I’ll only be one behind-slash-right on track. After the last review/ramble, I decided to change up my format a little, as well as adding a festive moose for the Christmas season. It’s always a work in process of course. I’m super debating reading a ton of Christmas chick-lit during…

So I can’t post about how I’m behind on my book reviews and not actually post a book review. This one will be short. I read the first book in the Cage of Lies series this month — Chained — and found it to be a quick and interesting read. I was happy to find that the second…

Despite its thin walls and lack of air conditioner, I love my new apartment. I good portion of it is still in boxes (most of my bedroom and half my kitchen?) but I can sit in my living room and pretend that the rest of the place is unpacked. And getting rid of a car…

Today is just a quick update / review today, as all my boxes and stuff have finally come in. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not climbing over boxes all day, and everything is starting to look normal. But I did read two (or three? subway rides are blending!!) books this past week, so…

Hellraisers (The Devil’s Engine #1) by Alexander Gordon Smith Expected Publish Date: December 1, 2015 Rating: 3.5/5 Moose I downloaded this ARC from NetGalley during a Halloween give away. It’s a YA book by Alexander Gordon Smith, who is not an author I’ve read before. Apparently he’s a pretty well known YA horror writer, with two series…

Broken Record Moment: I’m so glad to be able to settle down and write a Top Ten Tuesday post! I’ve actually been debating whether or not to do The Broke and the Bookish‘s Secret Santa this year too. It seems like a great idea! But as those of you who know me well know, I…

The final book I finished on my drive up to New York! I’m quite thankful that I have a friend who was willing to drive me and my dog up to our new apartment, that also refuses to let anyone else drive. It’s the book I was in the middle of when we started the…

I’m still going backwards in my reviews. This is the second book I read on my way up the East Coast, and to be honest, I’m still not certain how I feel about it. But then again, there are books from years ago that I still don’t know how I feel about them, and if…

With my journey to New York City mostly complete, I had plenty of time to read books while I was on my way up. The first day was a wonderful (ha!) 12 hours drive, and the second day consisted of a much shorter 3 hours drive. I was able to catch up on most of…
