SNOWED OVER by Angie Stanton

December 24, 2013

Book cover of SNOWED OVER by Angie StantonMaybe romance books just aren’t for me. Romance novellas even less so. Or I just haven’t found the kind that makes me go all soft inside. While I didn’t launch into eye rolls as I had feared, sadly, I didn’t really feel Snowed Over either.

THE PROGRAM by Suzanne Young

December 17, 2013

Suicide as an epidemic and how society deals with it—perfect premise of a work of fiction for a sociology student like me.

7 CLUES TO WINNING YOU by Kristin Walker

June 29, 2013

Book cover of 7 CLUES TO WINNING YOU by Kristin WalkerDon’t be fooled by the cover. Looking at it made me think the book was gonna be some sad and sappy teenage romance but it’s not. Yes, there is romance but it’s not sappy or annoying. On the whole, I thought it was rather humorous and I appreciated the wit.
