Casey is the founder of Heart Full of Ink, Director at Reading Until Dawn Con, and a full time cheese addict. She's been ranting and reviewing for Literary Escapism since 2010, and is part of the trio #3Bloggers1Series podcast. When she's not reading, looking for new books, or stalking authors online (waiting for more books), she can be found binge watching Netflix. But really, her life is all about DEM BOOKS!

If you’ve been following us on Twitter, then you might have started seeing a lot of #CMC15 tweets. If you haven’t, well guess what, you’re going to see a lot the next time you visit Twitter. Literary Escapism is one of the featured bloggers for Coastal Magic Convention 2015 and we get the […]
The most prominent mythology used in young adult books is Greek Mythology. Which is fine, (there’s nothing wrong with Greek mythology) but there are other cultures/mythologies out there that can be used. It seems like Kiersten White knew this and instead of basing her story about Greek Mythology, she used Egyptian. That’s right, […]
Michelle Rowen is probably most known for making vampires snarky and misunderstood (Sarah Dearly and Theiry anyone?) but she has another urban fantasy series where the vampires are evil blood suckers. Shocking, right? Nightshade by Michelle Rowen was an excellent start in a dark, gritty world where nothing is as […]
In which I rant about author conferences Two years ago, Jackie talked me into going to RT 2012 with her. (Yeah, that was a really hard sell. Go meet my favorite authors and hang out with fellow book lovers? Sold in .2 seconds!) It was everything I dreamed of and more! […]
In which I rant about fictional characters and their names There’s that famous Shakespeare quote about a rose by any other name is still being a rose. The typical reaction to that quote is, “Duh. A rose is a rose.” (Or at least, that was the reaction in my middle […]
Every once in a blue moon, I’ll find the perfect book. The one book that is so perfect, I can’t find any problems with it. In fact, I’d probably read it five times in a row and love every single word, every single time. You know, that book. In A […]
Over the years, I’ve heard some readers talk about how books should stick with one genre and leave it at that. If that were an actual rule, Wicked As They Come by Delilah S. Dawson would completely shattered that rule. Wicked As They Come has everything: Vampires that aren’t really […]
Sometimes, when I pick up a book, all I want is to be entertained. I don’t want to have to think; I just want to laugh and watch two people fall in love. The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl by Gina Lamm gave me exactly that. It was really […]
In which I rant about Authors vs Readers It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining brightly down on me. I decided to put down my book and check out the Internet, naively thinking that it would only have happy news. I got on Twitter, started scrolling down and […]
I read Dualed by Elsie Chapman in a day. Typically, when I read a book that fast, it’s because I’m head-over-heels in love with it. That wasn’t the case with Dualed. I loved the premise, and it was just as exciting as I had hoped for in the beginning. Yet, as the story […]
