My Latest Binge: Orphan Black & Corpus Book Series

I really like to binge watch and binge read series! It is so easy to do. And so I wanted to start sharing my latest and current binge watches and binge reads with all of you!

Blog Changes

Hello everyone!

So I have been thinking for some time now that I am ready to change the name of my blog.

Her Reviews of Books, Movies, and Everything is VERY LONG. And not very bookish.

When I created my blog, it was pretty much a spur of the moment thing. I decided one night I wanted to blog and that I wanted to talk about all kinds of things. Books, Movies, TV Shows, products. Whatever.

But as I started blogging, it has become primarily a BOOK BLOG. With a few posts about TV Shows. And maybe a couple here and there about Movies.

Therefore, my blog name doesn't really go with what I want anymore.


I have thought of a new blog name and shared it with a friend. She likes it too. So now I think I am ready to start working on making the change.

I am thinking of just changing my banners and my Blog Address for this blog. Then I won't be moving everything and I can keep my posts and everything in one place.

Do you have any advice? Would do it this way be too confusing? Do you have any experience doing this?

Children can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice. Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. A girl can look at her brother and believe they’re destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil. She can believe she’s found the thing she’s been made for.
Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once.
At the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.
Until one day, he does…
As the world turns upside down, Hazel tries to remember her years pretending to be a knight. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough?

Waiting on Wednesday #7 :The Orphan Queen

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows

Publication Date: March 15, 2015

Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Wilhelmina has a hundred identities.

She is a princess. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne.

She is a spy. Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone.

She is a threat. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others

Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world.
