My Reading Wishlist is a daily meme hosted by me where bloggers highlight the top three books they have on their "to-read" pile. My Choices This Week Are:  Title: The Beginning of After Author: Jennifer Castle  Reason: I've heard a lot of positive reviews on this one & want to read it myself.  Title: Tempest Author: Julie Cross Reason: I was supposed to read this book for a Debut Author Challenge last year, but I discovered I'm not too good at challenges...

Stacking the Shelves is a daily meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews . It features the books recently added to your shelf! (I've decided to participate in Stacking the Shelves other than In My Mailbox simply because Kristi is busy with her baby & her blog is on the back burner - I figured this meme would help me interact with more bloggers which is something I love to do!) For Review: Soul Fire by Aprille Legacy  I have been friends with Aprille on Goodreads since she started to gain attention for her book, Soul Fire , which was originally posted on the site. She made a book trailer, she advertised her book & overall, she worked really hard to make her dream a reality which is the reason I look up to her. (She's also just a great person all around, too). I'm really excited to start reading The Soul Trilogy , despite my growing piles of books I still have to read on my bookshelf & cannot thank Aprille enough for sending me a copy for review. (:  Wh...
