Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon

So, yes, I’m gonna admit it: this was a guilty-pleasure read. Night Pleasures was the Twilight version of my high school days.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

It’s been a a few weeks since I’ve finished an actual novel and The Road seems like a nice go-to to get me back on track. I picked it up because it seems easy to get into, and a pretty fast read (but I did finish it in over a week because, well, work). I…

Saying “yes” doesn’t mean I don’t know how to say no, and saying “please” doesn’t mean I am waiting for permission.
