My thoughts… This is going to be a very short review of Me, Cinderella. I was drawn in by the synopsis and thought this sounded like a great read. Once I started reading I quickly realized that this one wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. Upon meeting Eliot, Brynn tells him her name but it isn’t really her name. It’s a fake name. I’m not sure what the purpose of that was. […]
Katy’s boyfriend’s back, and someone’s gonna be in trouble… [sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://mereadalot.com/muzak/06-the_raveonettes-my_boyfriends_back.mp3″] <–Click for this review’s theme music. (My Boyfriend’s Back by the Raveonettes) We’re gonna need a bigger movie studio for this one. I don’t really know how to review this book, except by ”objectifying” it. When I first saw the cover of Origin, it brought me to my knees. I freaked out. My friends freaked out. The blogosphere freaked out. WE ALL FREAKED […]

My thoughts… I really, really liked this one. The synopsis drew me in and I was hooked from page one. If I hadn’t started reading Elite so late in the day I could have easily read it in one sitting. I liked the main characters for the most part. Tracey aka Trace was a bit naive. When she arrives at school she is immediately treated as a charity case. She was accepted into the Elite […]
You can find my review of Introductions (The Academy #1) here. This book had me ready to rip my clothes off. Sang and the boys are back with a bang, and these are the sexiest First Days of school that I’ve ever attended. In book one of this series we learn that the boys will be infiltrating Sang’s public school. Sang is still having to dodge bullets to hang out with the boys, but she […]

My thoughts… Escaping Me is the first story by author Elizabeth Lee that I’ve read. I liked it for the most part. At times the dialogue and the actions of the characters seemed to be a little juvenile. The plot was interesting and kept my attention until the very end though. I liked both Whitney and Cole. Whitney was a people pleaser and a bit naive. I really liked the fact that after finding her […]
Hey, fellow Roswell-Read-A-Long peeps! Please enjoy another awesome GUEST REVIEW of The Vanished by Meredith Maresco of Pandorasbooks.org: Much like Vanished, The Rebel surprised me. It was better than I expected, though some parts left much to be desired. I still can’ t get over the physical appearances of the characters in the books versus the show. Every time Max is described with blonde hair and blue eyes, I just want to cringe. Also, my mind […]
My thoughts… I love New Adult. And I loved this one. The characters were really interesting and I loved getting to know them. Avery. I liked her. She’s running from a past that isn’t quite explained until the end. I sort of figured out what it is based on the hints that are given throughout the story though. I didn’t however like her parents. They seemed anything but loving. Cam. *swoon* He is awesome and […]
Jasinda Wilder has done it again. I loved this one! I was drawn in by the synopsis and I couldn’t wait to get started. The idea of a virgin being a stripper meeting a Hollywood playboy was intriguing from the get go. I had a hard time putting this one down. It kept my interest from the beginning until the very end. Grey is the virgin stripper. I really liked her. After leading a very sheltered […]
Ever wanted to date an Alien? Ever wondered what it would be like to experience some Extraterrestrial flirty-feels of your own? Well, you are in good company. It is with pleasure that I share with you an awesome review of the first book in the My Alien Romance series by Magan Vernon. The wonderful Meredith Johnson of Meredith’s Musings suffers with Alien Lust like the rest of us, and bravely submitted herself to read […]
My thoughts… Slow Surrender is the first novel by author Cecilia Tan I’ve read. I have to say that I enjoyed it. There were a few things that were awkward with it though. I really liked Karina. She’s in grad school and about to graduate. She’s still undecided about what she actually wants to do with her life after she graduates. She meets James while she’s covering for a waitress at her sisters bar one […]
Hey, fellow Roswell-Read-A-Long peeps! Please enjoy this awesome GUEST REVIEW of The Vanished by Meredith Maresco of Pandorasbooks.org: As a fan of the Roswell television series, I was a little reluctant to read the books, especially when I found out the books actually preceded the television show. I had fallen in love the with actors who played the characters, and so many things get changed in the process of creating a show or movie based […]
My thoughts… I liked Deeper. It’s a pretty good read for a debut novel. There were a few tiny things I didn’t care for, but for the most part I enjoyed reading this one. The characters were very likable for the most part and I enjoyed getting to know Rain and Knight. Speaking of Knight…what a different and unique name. I like it. Both Rain and Knight have issues. Even though they both have issues […]
In The Stowaway (Roswell High #6), despite the fact that A LOT of serious life-and-death stuff is going on, I can’t get over how frustrated I am with Michael and Isabel from book #5. They still prove to be frustrating in book #6! At the end of book #5, our Roswell group has narrowly escaped with their lives after infiltrating the Project Clean Slate underground facilities to free Michael. Little did they know, they would […]
My thoughts… I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. I love both Leah and Jack. They’ve been in previous books and I couldn’t wait to read their story. Leah is a pastry chef who doesn’t ever complete anything. It stems from her youth when her father would constantly berate her and tell her things like “You’ll never amount to nothing” or “You never finish anything you start.” At the beginning of this book […]
My thoughts… While I enjoyed The Master Undone I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of disappointment. I was hoping to gain insight to Mark’s thoughts on how things were between him and Rebecca while they were together. That’s not really the case with this novella. You do get a glimpse of his perspective and feelings toward Rebecca, but there are other things going on within this novella. There’s a new character and her […]
The Intruder is probably my LEAST FAVORITE of all the Roswell High books. My disdain for this book doesn’t lie with the writing, it lies with Michael’s story line. In book five, we pick up right where we leave off in book four. Max has just been saved with the crystals from their ship, and connected with the collective consciousness of his planet. Unfortunately, we lose Ray Iburg at the end of book four, and […]
You write Romance? That’ s hot… Whenever someone finds out I’ m an author, the first question I always get is, “What kind of books do you write?” I always laugh when I’ m asked this, because I know what’ s coming when I respond with the answer “romance”. If it’ s a woman, she usually gets excited and asks my name so she can write it down for future reference. If it’ s a […]
