Top ten Tuesday

7 Comments

It’s time for a top 10 Tuesday and is ran currently by that artsy reader girl.

What this week is for first Tuesday of the year is books you can keep reading over and over again.

1. Love songs and other lies by Jessica Pennington

This story is sooo cute. The romance to the band life. And seeing how the whole story can play out. Well worth the quick read. And Jessica has became with kasie west my fav contemporary author. And her second book was good that’s out in April. So pre order when summer ends!

2. Vampire academy/ bloodlines by Richelle mead

This is a full series but for me loved all the books. But has nice balance of regular life living with the dark aspect of a vampire world and magical setting and if want a kick butt characters from the women to the guys this is well worth it.

3. Cinder/ the lunar chronicals

Crazy I know another fantasy in my favs. This series is also Awsome and spot on. Has the nice dystopian aspect with evil hanging down, funny characters that can just love. While also the scare with a deadly plague. Right amount of romance and each book is great since it’s retelling while 100% completely its own story!!

4.the selection

This book series is sooo cute. It’s one I will do once a year and not often you find a contemporary series. But in this book you can proubly find your next fictional boyfriend I won’t say who but so worth it!! With mild dystopian and older times in a book even though set in the way future. So highly suggest adding this and if you love the bachelor/ bachelorette it’s for you.

5. Geekerella by Ashley poston

This last one is contemporary and it does a magic on my fav tellings with Cinderella and sooo worth the read. It’s funny and no hope in site still get that light in the distance. And just want to route for the mc so much. Plus this book is very geeky and super pop cultured which is sick!!

So what are some of your go to reads??

*Arc review* Princess and the fan girl by Ashley poston

7 Comments

Oh, my stars! This book is one of my drop everything and read and I did just that. Skipping on 2 other books that I’ve started.

This book was so nice to be part in it since geekerella is one of my top 3 contemporaries. But the story starts out with Jessica, the other lead cast of the movie and is not happy that she doesn’t want the role at all. An interviewer was bickering her for questions and jess answers one with true answer that’s not supposed to so after runs to the bathroom and crashes into Imogen Lovelace extreme fangirl and the lead for wanting jess in the movie. Well after the bathroom a mishap happens and Imogen is now in a panel as jess. So after that they decide to switch places for the con.

My feelings on the story.

Like said I loved being back in this world. To all the nerdy things to just the excitement. The start of the story starts off a tad bland since jess is just always a grump and wants nothing to do with the movie or fandom and Imogen is trying hard to be like jess would act while adding her own flare. And this goes thru 50% of the book which each character being snooty and not much chatter with other characters happens. But by 50% the book finally has its flare that I loved in geekerella. The fandom, the things you experience in a book just like you were in world its self and top it all if set your mind to it you can do it. With of course help and your never alone.

For this book character arcs:

Like the story, at first, I thought was a tad flawed. Since how can anyone start to like or even be friends since Imogen and jess and side characters minus one all grumpy. So as goes on not sure how they sorta let go of grumpiness to be friends. But the action of trying to make the book being solved I enjoyed. Soo with all of that I gotta give a book a 4 star rating. Bad start to good latter half book you expect in a book of geekerella. So this won’t be a fav but geekerella will be and glad the second book in this world. 4/5

It’s that time again that you you show a book that’s been sitting on your TBR shelf from good reads that needs some attention that you been lacking on doing ect.

This week been sitting on my tbr for about a year it’s very small but something very close to me which is weather. And first thing that got me addicted to weather was tornado’s. so this is MG read and series of them but with out further a do it’s.

After I found out about I had to read it. So at a signing I bought it then forgot it at the store and that was over a year ago. Maybe 2 so now I gotta rebuy it.

Book crush Thursday

2 Comments

Book crush Thursday is a day you post some of your fav covers or covers you think deserve some more attention. And this one might of just popped up just yesterday but I love it to no end.

The blood spell by CJ redwine

The reason I love this so much is a few reasons. 1 there is a pumpkin on the cover and I love fall and such and not many covers have pumpkins on them.

2. The snowy color look in the back ground. One of few things I love more than pumpkins and fall is snow and winter I count down the whole year just for winter to start.

3. This book is a Cinderella retelling my fav of old grim brother tellings so I’m excited see how Cinderella is made in this book.

Waiting on Wednesday (6-13-18)

Waiting on Wednesday is the day we ask 3 questions.

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish?

What you think will read next?

1. What I currently reading? Book I’m currently reading is the emerald sea by richelle mead. This author is my fav so no matter the story I will read it. And so far it’s on dull side only thing I gotta say I haven’t disliked a evil person since umbridge this one is wicked I tell you! Other book is game of hearts (fandom hearts 3) which this book is based off these girls in a town and each girl has her own story, it’s video game based and deals with cons and just love these worlds so if want a short amazing NA romance do LEVEL UP by Cathy yardley

2.what I recently finished last? Last book I finished was a mini novella to fandom hearts series. Called hooked as said above love this world. Sad this story was shorter since it was a mini novella and thought should of been bigger story plot but I still loved it. And other was royals by Rachel Hawkins. A very royal plot book with a girl seems to do all wrong while the royal of d bag slowly becomes less as get know him and that story line. And gave it 4 stars.

3. What book I think ill read next is the darkest legacy by Alexandra bracken or wildcard. One of those 2 both Iv been sooo super stoked to read and shocked there were arcs for them.

*ARC REVIEW*The kiss quotient by Helen Hoang

Leave a comment

I was able to read this book early in thanks to the first to read program by Penguin.

Going into this book, I already know I’m in a book slump. Lately, I haven’t read many books that I enjoyed. But this book helped me out.

It’s about a woman, Stella Lane who is near 30, has a steady job and has her own place. I think all is good but only down fall she has no boyfriend or had one and her family is asking for grand kids. Only issue though is she doesn’t like sex like at all, she doesn’t enjoy it and she thinks it shows. Other she is not afraid to tell people but doesn’t want to be treated differently since she has Aspergers. So to get better at sec life so can appease a guy she hires a escort to teach her how to get better. This is where Micheal Phan comes in who is half Vietnamese half Swedish. This story is told in both perspectives which I always love more than one side. But slowly thru the story he helps her in her own ways to learn. But like any friends with benifts or this case paid feelings get involved. But what is nice besides the love interest mike helps Stella see more of the world and get out of her routine she has since all she wants to do is work and sleep pretty much. Though some of these can be distraous I can say from first hand from being special ed like myself to my friends who have aspergers to many things at once or to loud can lead to huge melt down. One person needs to have a support system so thru this cute story you learn their story & to those that don’t help the case. So a cute little story I enjoyed for a debut novel from Helen that I loved and is 5/5 stars from me.

*Arc Review* My Plain Jane- Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows

2 Comments

Release date: June 26th

Publishing house: Harper Teen

Genre: Fantasy

I enjoyed book one, so I already had high hopes for book two.  Which, they each can be read as a stand-alone. And it does not fail.

I’ve read one review where they compared it to the Ghostbusters and a retelling of Jane Eyre, which I have never read before.

But here is what this book is about. Jane Eyre can see ghosts after having a shoddy childhood as she was stuck in an orphanage. Until one day she finds an opening for a governess. But before she goes, there is a murder at her orphanage and the group called the society is coming to investigate. There’s a ghost at a local bar and they plan on getting answers.  At this time a lady going to a bar without being accompanied was very unlady like unless she was a lady of the night.

I won’t say more but this book wasn’t as funny as the first but I enjoyed this storyline a lot more. It seemed to have a cuter romance to it especially for two characters. And the pleasant thing about these stories is that each author takes a character. So there’s not more than one mindset to so some characters and they don’t get all the spotlight.

These authors really know how to mix the fantasy of the ghost world to mixing it with that day and age. At how little Gents and women chatted with one another and how some of things they did was extremely risky. Especially with a woman showing her bare leg. And what’s nice about books in the series is that the writing is not to the same style of the times. If it was I’d say for us normal readers it would hard to read old English writing which we read Beowulf or Canterbury Tales. So overall this book was amazing and I didn’t want it to end. It was one of my higher fantasy books that I’ve read this year and will be a favorite for the year.

5/5 stars
