  3. I am so excited about the fact that YA authors are going to write about superheroes! I am not big on comics so I cannot wait to read actual YA novels :)

  5. I am impressed! 19 books is amazing! I used to read that much but my daughter keeps me way too busy these days. I can't wait to read Every Heart a Doorway. I have it pre-ordered so I hope to be able to read it right away. Hope you have a fantastic April!

  7. Woah, you read a ton of books in March. That's awesome! I did okay, but not nearly as much as I probably could do. Granted, I started a new job so getting used to that these past couple weeks. I have a ton to read/review in April though, so my number this month will probably be crazy high! haha

  11. Wow Eva you've been killing it with your reading in March, I started off really well, but things just got hectic for me :( But I'm thrilled to see Undecided as one of your favourite reads, it definitely ended up being one of my favourite reads for this month and one that surprised me the most (as I didn't think I would like it so much!) I hope you have a wonderful reading month in April!

  12. I feel like I have been seeing Undecided *everywhere* the last few days. And every mention of it is someone gushing over it. It's like a message from the universe that I need to read this book. :) I'm more excited about it than ever!

  14. oh it looks like March was a great month for you. Looks like there was some great articles done on some good topics. I should read At The Edge and Undecided...especially since you enjoyed Undecided so much. I did like Study of Seduction quite a bit.

  15. Undecided looks so good! Wow, looks like you had an amazing month. :D

  16. Oops, I just deleted my own comment. That's so annoying.
    Anyways! 19 books is amazing! I haven't a month like that in forever. I need to read Undecided, since you liked it so much, it must be good. Also, Relief Map kinda caught my eye.

  17. What a great reading month, you had! Undecided is new to me, but I'll be checking the library later to see if it is available there. I'm still waiting on my next epic read this year. I've seen a few really high praises for Relief Map and a few scathing ones, too. I'm on the fence about reading that one. Congrats on such a good month!

  18. Looks like you had a great month! I hope you enjoy Every Heart has a doorway. I really enjoyed that one. I just wish it could have been longer. :)

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): ARC Greed

This discussion is inspired by my feelings lately when reading and reviewing ARCs versus the feelings I had when I requested those same ARCs: ARC GREED ARC greed -- have we all experienced this?  What I even mean by this term is that I sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at Netgalley and Edelweiss and  I sometimes over-request, if only because I can!  I get greedy when I see all the new and shiny ARCs available and I will sometimes request things that have even a hint of interest for me, not necessarily focusing only on those books that I really, really want.  The problem with this over-requesting and with getting greedy with requesting (and receiving) ARCs is when it comes time to read and review these ARCs.  Last month and this month, I have looked at my ARCs with a release date in each respective month and I just haven't wanted to read any of them.  I need to start asking myself -- If I was immediately approved for this ARC, would I read it right thi
