The Stack | To All The Books I Want to Read This Year-2019

March 24, 2019/ natoya

One of the things that I get excited about at the beginning of the new year are the books that are expected to release during the year. Since it’s almost April I’ve caught a few books that have already been released like Toxic Game by Christine Feehan and Devil’s Daughter by Lisa Kleypas. There are so many more books that I’m looking forward to though. Some with a little more expectation than others, but I want to read everything on my list.

The Stack | To All The Books I've Read This Year-2018

November 27, 2018/ natoya

Let me begin by saying it won't be all of the books that I've read this year. I'm a prolific reader and have read quite a bit this year. I want to focus on the books that stood out to me, the ones that I enjoyed and the ones I anticipated. The list might be a bit long, so I'll not to run on too much about each book. You already know that I'm not the best at reviewing books anyway.

The Stack| Quick Thoughts Nalini Singh Archangels Prophecy

November 06, 2018/ natoya

Oh my gosh. I’m in shock and actually quite dismayed. I just finished reading Nalini Singh’s new book Archangels Prophecy. It’s a punch to the gut and the worst cliff-hanger possible. This book was simply a roller-coaster, I had no idea what was coming next. Why was Elena getting weaker, which symptom would be next, where is this all heading?

The Stack | Books Recap

October 28, 2018/ natoya

It's been a while, since I've talked books with you guys. I've been craving good books the way you crave good food. You know when you want something that is substantial that you can really sink your teeth into, that's what I've been wanting from my books. Unfortunately my favourite author's can't write new stories as fast I read their new books.

Books I’m Looking Forward to Reading in 2018

February 04, 2018/ natoya

I did this last year, when I saw that some of my fave authors were going to be releasing new books in the coming year. Some of them I’m chopping at the bit to read, I can’t wait.

Year in Review | Favourite Books and Authors of 2017

January 07, 2018/ natoya

Books have been a pleasure for me this year. I didn’t write as many review posts as I would have liked to and I promise I will do better on that in 2018. One of the stand out posts for me this year was about what a well written book looks like to me, and though as I mentioned already I didn’t write nearly as many reviews as I should have, the year was still full of literature that kept me entertained and even a bit in my feelings.

Thoughts and Reasonings | A Well Written Book

October 15, 2017/ natoya

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Reading a well written book is a pleasure. Now I guess it can be a bit subjective, I mean many people consider the classics to be well written books, I on the other hand find them boring. So you see the definition of well written will vary from person to person.

Books| My Fave's from Shelly Laurenston

May 28, 2017/ natoya

So I usually post a book review, on this last Sunday. However I haven’t read any new books that compelled me to write a review about them. Instead I’ve been revisiting books from one of my fave authors Shelly Laurenston. I’ve mentioned her a few times here and here. So I’m dedicating this post to a few of my favourite books that she’s written, through all of her various series.

Book Review | Patricia Briggs Silence

April 30, 2017/ natoya

I was so apprehensive before I started reading this book. After reading the blurb I was expecting the worst and honestly I was scared thinking about what was gonna happen. I am quite pleased when I say that while there were definitely some unexpected turns in the story it worked out well in the end.

Reading Binge

March 26, 2017/ natoya

So for the past few weeks I've been binge reading books from the author Kathy Barton. I have a love hate relationship with her books. Her story lines are pretty unique and her catalog varied but there are sometimes gaps and jumps that simply make no sense in her books. Characters will do random things that seem to occur just to prolong the story line even though it's not necessary. It seems that she wants the story to go a certain way and does an abrupt lane change to make it happen.

Books I’m Looking Forward to Reading

February 26, 2017/ natoya

Sometimes I read the excerpts of new books that are coming out and I get so excited for, I just can’t wait till it launches and becomes available. Sometimes the wait is short maybe a month or two and other times it could be a year or so, and then there are those few times where the promised book never materializes.

Book Review | Born of Legend

January 29, 2017/ natoya

If you enjoy the Fantasy/ Sci- Fi genre and haven’t read a Sherrilyn Kennyon book, then you’ve been missing out. I will say upfront that she takes her characters through the ringer. They tend to experience pain and heartache on a whole other level, sometimes I do find it a bit hard to read. This is the ninth/tenth? book in the Born of Series, I’ve read pretty much all of them, I think.
