Review: The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais

You know you've got only yourself to blame when you pick up a book that's about a chef going on a chef-y journey. 'Cause, you know, FOOD. And, um. Yeah, descriptions of food. Lots of food. I'm also writing this review when I've yet to eat after spending eleven hours working at school. So you [...]

25 Reads: The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

So my bestie gave me this book as a birthday present. Last year. And it had been sitting on my unread stack since then. And I don't know why this is--okay, well, I do, and it has to do with me having too many things I NEED TO READ LIKE NOW and not at all [...]

25 Reads: Divergent by Veronica Roth

25 Reads: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Better late to the party than never having arrived, am I right? I meant to write an overall review of the entire trilogy, but I realized I wasn't going to be doing the series justice, considering I'll probably be rating each book differently. Already Insurgent is feeling a bit more epic than Divergent as far as my enjoyment [...]

25 Reads: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

You know that chocolate dessert that is so decadent and so rich and so delicious that the very thought of partaking in it sends you into a heightened sense of euphoria? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This dessert is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, because let's be honest, you just can't afford it every time, or it's just bad for you. [...]

25 Reads: Naked in Death by J.D. Robb

25 Reads: Naked in Death by J.D. Robb

I'm not big on reading police procedurals; I much prefer watching them. I'm not big on reading romance novels; I much prefer reading romance in a non-romance. So the question on my--and I'm sure everybody else's mind--is "What the heck are you doing with a police procedural romance novel?!" NAKED IN DEATH by J.D. Robb [...]

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

Reading Ratings (in Cookies)

5 cookies = Book was so deliciously awesome that I couldn't put it down or get it out of my mind for a while.

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
