Hello Lovely People.

I have a video on NaNoWriMo that goes into what my novel is about, how it’s going, and information for adding me - it should be up in a few days. But as an additional motivator (and I NEED the motivation, believe me) I’ve decided to post my favorite snippet of the day every day, all month.

Good idea? Maybe?

My username is addiecat92 - add me if you deem it wise.

Anyway - behold! The best of days one and two of NaNo 2012.

A bit of lighthearted paranormal romance with a windpipe crushingly heavy dose of fluff, Spellbound is a major lightweight. Find out what I thought about Schultz’s series-opener (the sequel’s due out at the end of March) under the break!

Book Review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

So good! Definite 4.5 / 5. Maybe even BOTM status? We’ll just have to see!

Book Review: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

I’ve been looking forward to reading this book for the longest time! It was a solid 4/5, but I’m picky. Anyone know when they’ll announce the title of the next one? :)
