Book Review: House of Ivy and Sorrow

I think I should take a break from reading ARCs. I swear that this is the nth ARC I’ve given a less than 3 star rating this year. And it makes me feel guilty because most of the ARCs that I’ve reviewed are debut novels. It’s like I am the Grinch, hellbent on crushing the dreams of new authors. >,< Though the House of Ivy & Sorrow was a pretty decent read, the calculator side of my personality wouldn’t just give in. There are so many reasons for me to enjoy this book but things were just off. I was…

The only redeeming quality that Frozen has is that it was so ridiculous I could not stop myself from laughing every time I turn a page. What ever happened to the saying that two heads are better than one? Apparently, that…

Book Review: City of Stairs

I have to be honest here. When I signed up for an account on Blogging for Books, my intent was to look for an ARC of a book that I really wanted. I made a request on EW but sadly, got rejected. Driven by a sick obsession, I sought Blogging for Books in the hopes that I might find what I’m looking for there. Obviously, my search failed and I end up with City Of Stairs. Yeah, I know, I could have just walk away without adding another ARC to my staggering TBR pile but I need to try the…
