Review: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Release date: April 10, 2018 Author info: Website | Twitter Publisher: Harlequin Teen Pages: 416 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review through Netgalley Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets… and secrets hide in every shadow. Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school—and her reputation—behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted.

The Secret

Stacking the Shelves {161}


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review!

Hellooo! How have y'all been? It's been a bit, but I'm still here. I'm super excited because I have one assignment left for this semester, and then I'm done! That means my first semester of grad school is nearly finished, if you can believe it! It's been kind of crazy at work with the Harry Potter Magical Ball on Friday (We had over 200 people in my little store--unheard of for us!) and Christmas coming, but I love retail holidays only because there are more of us working, so I get to see all of my work friends!

I'm saving for school next semester and Disney, so I'm really working not to spend money, aside from Christmas presents--and I'm not doing too badly! So, there aren't as many books as there would normally be... ANYWAY, on to the books! (I was too lazy to turn on another light, so these were really dark... And I just edited them. I'm that lazy--and that's why they don't look good!)

For review:



The Warden's Daughter by Jerry Spinelli

Purchased:


A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick

Why yes, I did take advantage of the signed books at work over Black Friday weekend! I did a really good job holding myself back, to be very honest. I could have come home with a lot more.

Books I read:
Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nahesi Coates
Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

I'm currently reading:
The Young Elites by Marie Lu

I'm considering making these kinds of posts a monthly thing, rather than weekly. I've never loved putting them together, though I do love looking at everyone else's, and since I'm not buying much, I won't have as much to share. I may go to doing a monthly recap, which would include whatever books I get. I dunno. Just been mulling it over.

But hey! It's kind of cold here and I'm loving it! :D

Have a lovely Sunday and a fabulous week!

Review of Notes to Self

Notes to Self by Avery Sawyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Provided  by the author for review. Two climbed up. Two fell down. One woke up. In the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, Robin Saunders has to relearn who she is and find out what happened the night everything changed. Well written,Laura-Avery-or whatever she would like me to refer to her as, has created a novel worth reading at least once and I will most definatly re-read this one when I am not on such a tight schedule and am trying to review all of the books authors are sending me in a reasonible amount of time. So if you are an author and you have asked me to do a review, give me time, I am a busy gal-most of the time and I wont break my promise it will be reviewed.   So it begin with the night of the accident, Robin and Emily both falling off the roof of the Slingshot.All 30 feet of it.How both of them did not die immediately beats me but o well. So, Robin wakes up in a hospital with VERY little remembrance ...

Blog Tour: Worlds of Ink and Shadow by Lena Coakley {Review + Giveaway}

Release date: January 5, 2016 Author info: Website | Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Amulet Pages: 352 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The Brontë siblings have always been inseparable. After all, nothing can bond four siblings quite like life in an isolated parsonage out on the moors. Their vivid imaginations lend them escape from their strict upbringing, actually transporting them into their created worlds: the glittering Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy Gondal. But at what price? As Branwell begins to slip into madness and the sisters feel their real lives slipping away, they must weigh the cost of their powerful imaginations, even as their characters—the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamorna—refuse to let them go. Gorgeously written and based on the Brontës’ juvenilia, Worlds of Ink & Shadow brings to life one of history’s most celebrated ...
