Lola’s Ramblings: How I experience being fluent in two languages

Lola’s Ramblings is a feature on my blog Lola’s Reviews where I ramble on about a book related or a non-book related topic. These are discussion type of posts where I talk about a topic and readers can weigh in on the topic in the comments. Usually these posts are everything that doesn’t fall under any standard header, like tours, cover reveals, memes, challenges, recaps or reviews. Lola’s Ramblings posts are discussions of a certain topic and my point of view on them. The banner for this feature is designed by Michelle from Limabean Designs. Strangely enough the fact that […]

Review: A Mortal Song by Megan Crewe

A Mortal Song by Megan Crewe Rating: 4 stars Blurb: Sora’s life was full of magic–until she discovered it was all a lie. Heir to Mt.

Review: Faerie Realm by Emma L Adams

Faerie Realm (The Changeling Chronicles #3) by Emma L. Adams Rating: 4 stars Blurb: I feared that using my magic would bring me closer to the faerie realm I tried so desperately to escape. I was right. I made a promise to a faerie, and they’ve come to deliver. A powerful talisman has disappeared, and without it, the faeries in this realm are losing their magic. Getting involved wasn’t on my plan, but if I refuse to help the faeries find the talisman, I’ll die. To make things more complicated, shifters are being killed by a mysterious masked faerie, and […]

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News.

Review: September by Audrey Carlan

September (Calendar Girl #9) by Audrey Carlan Rating: 3 stars Blurb: Vegas, Viscous Exes, and Ventilators. My life felt like a fast ride on a too short highway. Coming home should be roses and rainbows, but nothing that comes out of the desert blooms free. I was most certainly not free. I’d missed my payment to Blaine, owed the last client a hundred grand I didn’t have, and my father was on his deathbed. To make matters worse, Wes was missing in action. As in, no one had seen or heard from him in three weeks. Devastation didn’t begin to […]

Review: Romancing the Null by Tina Gower

Romancing the Null (The Outlier Prophecies #1) by Tina Gower Blurb: There are three kinds of lies. Lies the fates spin as half truths. Lies of destined love. And statistics.

After spending years as an actuary for the Traffic Department, Kate is promoted to Accidental Death Predictions. It’s all she’s worked toward, and her career is finally on track. But when an oracle delivers an impossible death prediction and insists on her help to solve the case, she might lose […]
