Quicky Review #19: The Free, Not A Match and Homeland

Welcome back to another Quicky Review.  

A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet.  But why do a full review on a story that is say...80 pages long.  So I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well.  Basically, the short stories get short reviews.

Here are just a few sentences on three audiobooks  (about 2 hours or less) I got from Audible.com. 

There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry there will be more to come. I like short stories because most of them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

Thoughtful Thursday: Favorite Genres

Hosted by Reading Is Fun Again

Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again started this meme to get a book blogger thoughts on a few bookish things. You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff, so I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too! Stop by her blog and join in on the Thoughtful meme.

I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

Thoughtful Thursday Question

What is your book of choice? Romance? Horror? Thriller? Mystery? Coming-of-age? Feel free to get as specific or as broad as possible.

Waiting on Wednesday: Unexpected Stories

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme, hosted by Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that I am eagerly anticipating.

I'm back again with another WoW post.  

And I have no idea why I am hooked on doing this meme.  It was by sheer accident that I found out about this book that just came out.  

This week's "can't wait to read" selection is...

My Love and Hate for Bookish Apps

I am a total tech geeky girl and I love my iPad and all the apps on it.  I even named my iPad "baby" and Baby goes everywhere I go.  There are so many great apps out there that combine my love of reading with all the techy stuff.  Books + iPad + Apps = PERFECT LOVE!!
Right now I have my Pandora app playing music as I write this post.  Apps make everything so much easier.

I Love This! #PicMonkey

Ever since The Book Wheel posted the awesome post "5 Easy Ways to Jazz Up Your Blog" on March 20 my life has been all about the Monkey.

PicMonkey is an online software you use to give your graphics text, boarders, turn them into collages and sooo much more. 
OMG!!  I am hooked on the Monkey.

Ever since I read the post, I have been trying my hand at it and I have to say...

I'm a graphic artist now!

Just for fun while I trying to figure out the program I created some AMAZING STUFF!!

This blog is about to take it up a notch.  Get ready to have your minds blown monkyied-out!
