A tale of small town magic. It's the year 1985, the summer of "New Coke" and the Live-Aid concert. A quiet Indiana town has fallen into turmoil with the sudden failure of their local landmark- a mystical wish granting machine dating back to the 30's. Newly elected Sheriff Jimmy Picnic must calm the local nerves, while trying to handle a slick California con man who's recently arrived, insisting that only he can fix the novelty... but for a price. Can the Sheriff manage this? Especially, while solving the first murder of his career, that of a visiting historian searching for the lost treasure of Napoleon. Sheriff Jimmy must overcome the revived crush of his high school dream girl, the destructive forces of mother nature, and a very dangerous foreigner who will stop at nothing to retrieve a sacred object that is too unbelievable to conceive. Novelty is comedy of a mystery, wrapped in mythology, with a flair for the nostalgia of the MTV generation. Average Rating...

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a great month. I am super excited since the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon is almost here. I have only done this once, but I learned a lot during that 24 hour period. Now I am going to share my advice with you. 1. Read What YOU Want to Read. This is incredibly important. If you are not reading something you want to read and your pushing yourself to read it, then put it down and take a break. Read something you want or take a nap. If your doing this, it could led to a reading slump or watching Netflix... I totally did that! Not that there is anything wrong with taking a break! Or watching Netflix... 2 . Take Breaks, Even Naps! This is key to having fun during this read-a-thon! If your eyes start to blur, take a nap. If your hungry or want to watch Netflix for a little bit. Do it! Or you could cheer other people on during the read-a-thon. If you didn't sign up to be a cheerleader, join #TeamRogue and cheer. :D Just do not over work...

Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she's an Elder, but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control, but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she's betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and doesn't even know his name.  Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky southern girl, or fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is, not what she will become.  As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head win the battle, or her heart?  Average Rating: 3.92 stars My Rating: 5/5 stars Pages: 390 ISBN:  9780692259016 *I bought and read the Kindle version for a book club called Read With Ben* S...

Two awesome things are happening. One is the Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon, which is April 25th and runs for 24 hours hence the name. This is actually sentimental to me because I started this blog to participate in the last Dewey 24 hour read-a-thon and I am so happy that I did. I also signed up to be a cheerleader for it as well, which is incredibly exciting and I cannot wait. I will be posting a currently reading/TBR type post for it as well as a wrap up. I might do hourly updates but I'm not entirely sure. I also might partake in a couple a mini-challenges throughout the day. Also I will be tweeting and posting pictures on instagram throughout the day. The last exciting thing I have to tell you is that I am now an affiliate for the Book Depository, which means if you use a certain link to the book depository and buy a book, I get a small commission. Obviously, I'm not going to force anyone to use the link, but when I do reviews I will leave the link as an option as wel...

Hi guys, girls, and everyone in between! Happy Easter and April! I am doing things a little differently, so I can get out of my reading slump. So for this month I am only reading books that I am super hyped about that I have bought recently or a while ago. I will not be reading any review books. So without further ado, here is my TBR for April. I am currently taking a break from Mr. Ruins by Michael John Grist because I find myself not interested in the story. It's written really well so far, but the plot is not drawing me in to be honest. So I will pick it back up in May along with other review books. I am currently reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs . I bought this book because Jesse, from jessethereader, talks basically non-stop about this book and about how good it is. Also my boyfriend and some other friends read it and thought it was really good. I am also currently reading Bound by Duty by Stormy Smith for the Read With Ben book ...

Hey, Readers! Happy April! I hope everyone is having a good weekend and a Happy Easter. I did not read a lot in the month of March, which is sad, but I could not get out of my reading slump. I read a total of three books in March. I read one book for a book club I participate in and two review books. I had planned to read more than two review books, but I did not get to it. I started the month off by reading Novelty by Shann Hurst, which I gave a three out of five stars. It was okay, but there were several things about this book that annoyed me. I will talk more about this book in a review. Then I picked up Mr. Ruins by Michael John Grist, but only read ten percent of the book. I was also reading the Split by Noel Thomas Fiems, which I gave four out of five stars. It was a really good book with few flaws. I liked the plot and characters, but I will talk more about my feelings for this book in an upcoming review for it. Lastly, I read The Rest Falls Away by Colleen Gleason...
