Book Review: Flirtasaurus by Erin Mallon

August 27, 2020 in Blog, Reviews - boundbythebook

Trying something different today. My review is in the photos. This is a romcom that has lots of Friends references, awkwardness, and a likely award-winning cringey sex scene. 🏆 Others may well really enjoy this book. It just wasn’t for me. I read the entire thing (didn’t want to DNF…

Thriller Thursday – ☠️𝚈𝙰 𝙴𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗☠️

August 27, 2020 in Blog - boundbythebook

𝙈𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣: This book series still haunts me as a grown-ass adult. I read it in middle school—in like 2000. The gruesome events still as detailed as they were 20 (twenty!!) years ago. A few days ago, I decided to repurchase them and read the entire series again, hoping that…

Shelfie Sunday – 8.23.20

August 23, 2020 in Blog - boundbythebook

Honestly, I’m not really feeling it today. I’ve got some stuff going on (still) and my plate is filling with typical responsibilities with Covid-19 precautions sprinkled on top. I woke up this morning with swollen tonsillar lymph nodes, a sore throat, and maybe an earache. I can’t really tell if…

August 16, 2020 in Blog - boundbythebook

🎀What’s YOUR favorite book series?🎀 My #sundaystack is Danielle Vega’s Merciless series! All I needed to hear was “Mean Girls meets The Exorcist” and that “add to cart” button couldn’t place them in my cart quick enough. 😂 Most of the series books I read are crime fiction—Temperance Brennan, mainly. I’ve started…
