The Romance Bookie

All right!! The third book in the Maggie Stiefvater AMAZING Raven Cycle Series !!  This review is going to be short and sweet cause...well, it's just beyond words!!! The Raven Cycle is ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite series ever and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone!!! Seriously, you will not regret it!!! From Goodreads: There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up. Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs. The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost. Friends can betray. Mothers can disappear. Visions can mislead. Certainties can unravel. Erin's Review: Let's start with Gansey.  AAAAHHHH!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! He is hands down my favorite male character, especially as a romantic interest.  ...

Today I've got a review for Sinner  by Maggie Stiefvater!! The stand-alone companion novel to the Shiver  Trilogy featuring Cole St. Clair and Isabel Culpeper!! From Goodreads : A standalone companion book to the internationally bestselling Shiver Trilogy.   Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver Trilogy. Everybody thinks they know Cole's story. Stardom. Addiction. Downfall. Disappearance. But only a few people know Cole's darkest secret -- his ability to shift into a wolf. One of these people is Isabel. At one point, they may have even loved each other. But that feels like a lifetime ago. Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved? Erin's Thoughts: I'm going to start by staying that I LOVE Maggie Stiefvater!! I remember picking up Shiver  a couple years back and thinking "I don't know? Werewolves? Another on...

Hey Everyone!! So last Monday, I went to another awesome book event!! I got the amazing opportunity to meet Maggie Stiefvater!! It was another crazy fun night at The Grove in Los Angeles last Monday evening. Maggie Stiefvater was HILARIOUS!!  There is honestly no other way to describe her!  I was pretty kneeling over from laughter the entire time!  Unfortunately we weren't allowed to record so I wasn't able to do an actual recording of the entire discussion like I try to do at all the signings I go to. But instead I can show you the many faces of Maggie Stiefvater... :) She told some of the funniest stories about her life! Anyway, after the discussion about her book Sinner , as well as some of the inspiration from her previous novels, it Q&A time! And while I know we weren't allowed to record, I did sneak a recording of my question to Maggie and her answer...I swear that is all I recorded!!! After the Q&A was s...

2013!!! Where have you gone???  It feels like just yesterday that I was doing the countdown with my friends for 2013! Now I'll be doing it AGAIN tonight! 2013 was such an interesting year! When it comes to reading I started the year strong, but then it sort of dwindled around summer time. But personally I think I have a pretty good excuse for that...I met someone this year.  And while I still read, I will admit it isn't my number one priority anymore.  And to be honest, it's kind of a relief!  The last couple of years reading has become a chore to me.  Authors, publishers, agents, etc. sending me request after request, and me being the type of person who can't so no...I finally realized something...READING IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!! So what now? you may be asking.  Is there still a future for The Romance Bookie? ABSOLUTELY! Of course!! The Romance Bookie is my baby! I have put so much hard work into getting The Romance Bookie to where is it today! But...

Wow, WOw, WOW!!!! I can NOT believe that it has taken me this long to read Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver ! Honestly, can't believe I have waited THIS LONG!!! From Goodreads :   For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again. Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever. My Thoughts: Wow, just Wow!  I can't even tell you how much I loved this book!  Everything about this book!  I loved the characters, the story, the writing (oh the writing! So go...
