Hello, everyone! It's been another month since I did a Life and Books post. I might just make these a monthly thing from now on. I'll see what I feel like doing. Just to update everyone on my teeth, I had another root canal, but that's it so far. It feels like something might be wrong though, so I'm giving it some time to heal, seeing what happens, and hoping like hell that I won't need to...
Andrew is a vampire currently living in exile on a remote island as punishment for crimes against humans. One night, a ship wrecks, and Andrew saves Edmund, hoping the one who's punishing him will reward him for keeping a human alive instead of killing them. He doesn't expect to fall in love with the...
Everyone seems to love Halloween, and every bookworm seems to love pretty book covers, so I made a post/tag to help us all celebrate both! It's really simple. All you have to do is find a book cover for each topic! It can be covers you love, books you've read, random covers---there are no rules. You can put your own spin on things. Do what you want :-) Just have fun, and please credit me for...

You might have noticed the start of a pattern. I do a "Month/Month Releases" post, and a month later I do a "More Month/Month Releases" post. You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't Kristen just do these posts one month at a time if she's doing one a month? This seems overly complicated, and also, these post titles are way too long." You are not wrong about the titles, dear reader, but the...

Half-kitsune Yumeko has lived her whole life in the temple where she was raised, until one night demons attack and she flees, the sole survivor, with a mission to deliver part of a special scroll to another temple where it can be protected. Tatsumi, an assassin sent to steal the scroll, believes Yumeko that it was sent away and agrees to protect her on her journey in exchange for information....
The Crowns & Ash series has easily become one of my favorites after only two books, what with its unique, decadent fantasy setting and its complex, interesting characters, so I was delighted to be able to interview the author, Cheryl Low! I'll spare you from more raving because you can read my reviews if you want to hear about all the things I LOVE, but I will say that if you're not already...
