Fashionable or Not? ThredUp For this fifth installment of my Fashionable or Not? feature I'm going to share about about a clothing website I recently learned about. You may recall in my first Fashionable or Not? post I talked about how I rarely, if ever, purchase clothing, shoes and accessories at full price. I'm always looking for a coupon to use on top of a great sale price. Well this newest-to-me site is perfect! It's addicting. Be forewarned! A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine who lives in the southwest U.S. posted on Facebook about a website she frequently shopped online from called ThredUp with a 40% coupon code (I'll share that in a bit for ya'll). ThredUp  is an online consignment shop that resells "gently used" and/or "new with tags" name brand and designer clothing for women and children at up to 90% off cost. There's free shipping on orders over $70, otherwise a flat shipping rate of $5.99. There's a free re...

Burying Water #1 By: K.A. Tucker Published: October 7, 2014 by Atria Books 320 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: The top-selling, beloved indie author of  Ten Tiny Breaths  returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away. Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? W...

Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.

The Heart of Betrayal (The Remnant Chronicles #2) By: Mary E. Pearson Published: July 7, 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. 480 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape . . . and even less of being together. Desperate to save her life, Lia’s erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komisar that she has a magical gift, and the Komisar's interest in Lia is greater than either Kaden or Lia foresaw. Meanwhile, the foundations of Lia's deeply-held beliefs are crumbling beneath her. Nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to her, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom she always believed to be barbarians but whom she now realizes are people who have been terribly brutalized by the kingdoms of Dalbreck and Morrighan. Wrestling with her upbringin...
