Sunday Status
week of: May 7 – May 13
What I’m Reading:
Believe it or not, I haven’t finished even one book in the last month. Yes, I was busy, but you would think that the no internet situation would increase my reading! Actually, it may have, because I started a few new books–just didn’t finish any of them yet. Here’s what I started reading in April:
Sins of the Son (Grigori Legacy #2) by Linda Poitevin - I… Continue reading

Stretch Your Boundaries #1
*Please feel free to grab the button and link it back to this page. The more participants, the better! (to save the image, right click and choose ‘save as’)*
This week, I’m daring all PNR/UF lovers to read:
Children of Paranoia
by Trevor Shane
ALL WARS HAVE RULES
Rule Number One: No killing innocent bystanders.
Rule Number Two: No killing anyone under the age of eighteen.
BREAK THE RULES, BECOME THE TARGET
Since the age of eighteen, Joseph has been assassinating people on behalf of a cause that he believes in but doesn’t fully understand. The War is ageless, hidden in the shadows, governed by a rigid set of rules, and fought by two distinct sides-one good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. Soldiers in the War hide in plain sight, their deeds disguised as accidents or random acts of violence amidst an unsuspecting population ignorant of the brutality that is always inches away.
Killing people is the only life Joseph has ever known, and he’s one of the best at it. But when a job goes wrong and he’s sent away to complete a punishingly dangerous assignment, Joseph meets a girl named Maria, and for the first time in his life his singleminded, bloody purpose fades away.
Before Maria, Joseph’s only responsibility was dealing death to the anonymous targets fingered by his superiors. Now he must run from the people who have fought by his side to save what he loves most in this world. As Children of Paranoia reaches its heart-in-throat climax, Joseph will learn that only one rule remains immutable: the only thing more dangerous than fighting the War…is leaving it.
Join in and stretch your genre boundaries!
As a PNR/UF lover, I very rarely go outside of my comfort zone to read a new book. Unfortunately, I think it’s causing me to miss out on some fantastic reads! Stretch Your Boundaries is a monthly meme where bloggers dare readers to read a book that is outside of their normal genres. Every FIRST Saturday of the month, we will Stretch Our Boundaries!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it 
:
- create a post containing the information of the book you are daring people to read
- be sure to include what genre lover you are daring (I’m daring all PNR readers to try…)
- enter your information in the linky below
- if you choose to accept a dare, be sure to comment on that blog post and let the blogger know!
- NEXT MONTH, post another dare book and a review of the book you read (if you accepted a dare) and come back here to the NEW post and link up!
- plz remember that if you dare too far outside of someone’s comfort zone, it might be harder to get people to read your suggestion
- You DO NOT have to accept a dare to participate, simply daring someone in your post is all you need to do!
Personally, I’m really looking forward to seeing the books suggested. There are some books out there that have gotten rave reviews and I haven’t read them because the are outside of my normal genres. Hopefully, Stretch Your Boundaries will expose all of us to a great new book that we may have never read normally.
So, that’s it! Visit the participating blogs in the linky below. If you are posting your own Stretch Your Boundaries post, feel free to grab the linky code and use it in your post.
I dare you to STRETCH YOUR BOUNDARIES!

3 Star Rating: What Does It Mean?
hosted by Bitten By Paranormal Romance
3 Star Rating: What It Means Here on FIF
Morning Lovelies! A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by one of the reviewers at Bitten by Paranormal Romance about participating in this event. After attending the Book Bloggers and Publishers online conference and hearing what authors thought 3 star ratings meant, I realized that there is a huge difference between their perception and mine. Hopefully, this post will clear up the confusion.
From my review policy page:
3 /5 – Enjoyable! Maybe borrow it before committing yourself to a purchase.
First, I have… Continue reading
