Can't wait to start posting again! I have a lot of reviews in my phone waiting to be posted! 

Hopefully it gets fixed soon! Can't wait to start posting! :) 

READ MY REVIEW TO BOOK #1 "If I stay"

Review:

Again!! It happened again.. I really thought this one would be different, because it was in Adams point of view, it's three years later, and there's a conflict/plot that gave it a more appealing factor. I didn't like or love both books.. But it wasn't to the point where I read fifty pages and couldn't continue because it was bad, the book was tolerable enough for me finish both.. And for this one I was intrigued by why she left him.. They both seemed so in love, and she was unconscious in the whole first book. I didn't feel the agonizing pain and betrayal Forman was describing.. A lot of the time she was telling and not showing. I found that in both books Gayle Forman focused too much on the past and not enough on the present. And a lot of the "flashbacks/past" chapters were so irrelevant, nothing but fillers!! I found myself skipping chapters! (Which I do not do, ever!!)  She gave too much of a back story that she might as well had released a Prequel to both the books.. I did give this novel a half more star because it was a happy ending, and of course I love happy endings. But other than that nothing changed besides the characters actions.. Mia is still the same girl, but now she's famous. Adam is sort of the same.. Not really. He's an asshole, he's cold hearted, smokes, and gets panic attacks.. (Which is the only difference from both the last book and this one!) I love romance so naturally, I love Adam and Mia together which is why I decided to give this book a chance.. But I did not feel the chemistry at all with them. I thought this one would be different since well she isn't unconscious and a spirit the whole time. After three years of both of them yearning for one another the get together in a heart beat! And the whole reason on why she left was basically just a misunderstanding and could have been avoided.. UGH. This just frustrates me..

I do advise you to look up many different reviews with or with out spoilers, read the overview, and ask your friends if they've read/enjoyed it.. There's nothing more frustrating than spending your money on a book you didn't love.. I'm glad I didn't purchase the second book, but instead decided to download the PDF version from Google onto my e-reader.

I'm looking forward to the movie maybe this time I'll enjoy it more than the book..
Everyone's different maybe you'll enjoy it. Try it, and good luck..

I'm really disappointed with this novel. I've read so many great reviews on good reads, amazon, and even barnes and nobles! I'm not satisfied at all. I couldn't relate. The way it was written just didn't work for me. One chapter you're in the present the next you're in the past and it was just a repeating cycle each chapter. I found myself bored out of my skull, wanting to skip all the "past chapters" but didn't. I feel like this book is just one HUGE filler, that if I read the first and last chapter I would totally understand and wouldn't have to read the rest. Also I found it to be a bit unrealistic, how does a person see their fathers "brain on the floor" and just continue walking with out feeling anything/ no emotions.. Still I didn't feel the "sad, heart wrenching moments" other people felt. I will say though that, I found one thing to be sad. Which was the part where Mia's Gramp's came into talk to her and the last chapter which was Adam's vow. I also did enjoy one other thing, which was when they talk about Mia and Adams past. I felt as it was the only entertaining factor to me.

And of course being the hopeless romantic I am, I needed to know what happened to Adam and Mia.. So I read the second book.. Sorry Gayle Forman it just wasn't for me..

I would never say "I don't recommend this" because everyone is different. I didn't enjoy the way she interchanged the chapters. Of course someone else will. It wasn't a great plot,  wasn't moving or heart wrenching as everyone described but it was tolerable. Good luck, maybe you'll enjoy it.

Good Reads Overview

Review:

I've read plenty of Adult Romance novels, most of them really good, but every now and then I find a very special novel, with the most beautiful characters, and it blows my mind. This is one of those books! I enjoyed every single second reading this, I didn't sleep because I stayed up way too late trying to finish it, and finally when it was time for bed. I couldn't.. I had to keep going, I couldn't put it down until I finally finished it. But when I did finish, I couldn't get it out of my head..

After reading the prologue, I knew I was going to love the novel. The plot and the concept, everything was so moving. Young has a way with words. I was brought to tears just after reading the fourth page.. I found myself crying and feeling for a character I didn't know.. Her writing style is simple, and descriptive. She doesn't just tells you, but shows you. Most of the romance novels I've read, the men are broken and it's rare that the women are. And if the women are the broken one, they are weak, needing a man to save them. Jocelyn didn't need that.

I loved and hated the chase in this novel. I loved it because it was a long chase.. It wasn't one of those where they automatically bone each other in the third chapter. It was a slow progressing love.. Watching them grow, and cheering on for Braden as he slowly broke down Joss's walls. I found my self comparing this a little bit to Fifty shades of grey.. Then Young would turn around and smack down my train of thought as if saying "No this is nothing like it, it is better.." (Which I agree..) And  FINALLY it was the guy who wanted more! It was completely refreshing because finally it was the man chasing and not vise versa  BUT of course being a overly romantic person that I am I get sick of the chase after some time.. It's great don't get me wrong but at some point you kind of just want to take their heads and mush it together and yell "Joss grow up, he loves you, and you love him! Just be together, skip the bullshit and love each other! Please!"

The most beautiful love story I've read.. I now understand why ALMOST every great love story doesn't have a second novel.. It's because there's no other way to write about the same characters with out breaking them up.. And honestly, that's just a headache waiting to happen. I'm so glad there isn't a second book to their story.. because it already ended so well, so perfect..

Hey guys :)

So I sort of have this obsession with buying books and not reading them until about a month later. I have so many books that have just piled up its pretty ridiculous. So I promised myself I would not buy any more books after this until I finish all my unread book.. Which is a pretty good joke.. I wonder how long this is going to last especially since I just received a gift card to Barnes and Nobles..

It was a good thing I recorded it because honestly if I watched it while it was live, I might have pulled my hair out. The invention of being able to fast forward is amazing, because they didn't come on until the last fifteen minutes of the show..

Summary:

Shai and Theo zipped line from a parking to the entrance of the studio. Both stars were sitting down in the chair for no more than five minutes. Jimmy then asked one of the most common question that we've heard the answer to a million times.. "Are you ready for the popularity that comes with the movie? Did you really think bout it before you accepted the role?" Before they both answered, they discussed one of Theo's old movies and how he died having sex in it, and he joked about how he is not healthy and drinks straight vodka in the morning. Also, moving on to Shai they asked her about her water regiment. If you guys weren't aware, like myself. Shai only TRIES to drink water from natural mountains or springs, but since she travels a lot she only gets to do it when she's home. After that Both Shai and Theo said something along the lines of "Of course, you have to think about it and how it's going to change your career and life. But at the same time you don't know what's going to happen." And again they talked more about the water, & finally showed the trailer to Divergent.. Once it was shown Zedd played two songs, Find you and Clarity. *BANG* the show was over.

The big surprise was the trailer/new footage!

 

I guess I'm disappointed because I thought the whole episode was just going to be about Divergent.. But instead it was only the last fifteen minutes. Well technically eight because of the extensive commercials. I don't know what I was expecting, but I know I wanted more.

 

Divergent Trailer



 

J.K Rowling did a interview with Wonderland Magazine, while Emma Watson was the guest interviewer. Emma Watson played the beautiful and intelligent Hermione Granger. During the interview which will soon be released in the next issue Ms. Rowling admits she regrets pairing both Hermione and Ron.. About seven years after the books are over, she now realizes that Harry should have married Hermione.. Emma Watson seems to agree with our lovely Author. In another Article I also read that J.K Rowling believes that "Ron will never make her happy, which is why she should be with Harry.."
 

But you want to know what I think? Oh well, it cannot be unwritten. Harry Potter was a beautiful book/movie. It was beyond a love story between a couple young teenagers. It is about friendship, honesty, loyalty, and fighting for those you love..

 

Here is a quote from the interview:

"I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That's how it was conceived, really," Rowling said in the interview. "For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron." - J.K Rowling.

If you haven't read The Whispers of the Fallen I'm going to hunt you down.. Drag you out of your house.. And buy you the book! =) The book is honestly not to be missed. It is dark, adventurous, exciting, and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The moment you read the first sentence you're instantly sucked into the worlds of Elysium, and the strange and sinister creatures that inhabited the pages of this book. All the characters and the battle scenes are so vivid. The whole time I really felt like I was watching a movie and was so torn when I finished the book!

 

 Guys, Rebellion is the sequel to The whispers of the fallen. I don't know about you, but I am so excited! We have yet to find out when the release of the second book is, but when I do find out I promise to inform you all!  
 

 & MAYBE when the release of the second book is close, I'll give away ONE copy of the first book!



EEEEEEK! AGHHHHH! ADFLKJDF:LGKDSF:LKG:DFLBHTIEV

Okay, now that I got that out of my system, I forgot to mention to you all that I'll be going to a book signing! Three wonderful Authors will be making their way into my home State; New Jersey. The first is Cora which I'm more than excited to meet, I've read two of her books and until now I wish I was Bliss.. I can't get enough of her books, and can't wait to read more of them! Cora has a way of turning her books into a movie the moment you read the first page! The second is J.Lynn which so far I've only read one of her books and I completely love her writing. As for the third Author Jay, I haven't read any of her books. Though I've been planning on buying 'Rule' for some time now, and I think I'll be buying it at the signing! ;)

 

Cora Carmack is releasing a new book about a football player(*drooling*) in May.. And of course it's going to be a love story! And Since today is super bowl Sunday she was kind enough to give us a little snippet! But let me warn you; this snippet will leave you wanting more!!

“First love is the only pure and happy one. If it goes wrong, nothing can replace it. Later loves can never attain to the same limpid perfection; though they may be as solid, as marble, they are streaked with veins of another color, the dried blood of the past.”

- Maurice Druon, La flor de lis y el león 

I was searching the internet today, like everyday. Looking for books with great reviews for myself to read. Moments later I happen to come across the most interesting cover I've seen.. So I quickly clicked on the page and read the synopsis. &By just reading that, I was hooked, I needed more!

 

Synopsis:

One year ago, Callie was found in an abandoned apartment, scrawling words on the wall: "I KILLED HIM. His blood is on my hands. His heart is in my soul. I KILLED HIM." But she remembers nothing of that night or of the previous thirty-six hours. All she knows is that her father, the reverend at the Church of the Holy Promise, is missing, as is Hannah, a young girl from the parish. Their disappearances have to be connected and Callie knows that her father was not a righteous man.

Since that fateful night, she's been plagued by graphomania -- an unending and debilitating compulsion to write. The words that flow from Callie's mind and through her pen don't seem to make sense -- until now. As the anniversary of Hannah's vanishing approaches, more words and memories bubble to the surface and a new guy in school might be the key to Callie putting together the puzzle. But digging up the secrets she's buried for so long might be her biggest mistake.

 

Let us all take a moment to look at that beautiful cover, because it's what got me to stop and read the synopsis. If you read the synopsis above you'd know that the Genre of the book is Thriller/Mystery. And that is honestly one of my favorite Genres after reading My killer's cousin by Nancy Werlin.
