UPDATE: On My Life (Oh so interesting... NOT.) Pt. 5

I haven't done one of these in a while so let me update you because I have been stressing out for my two jobs, school, and family. 

The usual. What's new? 

My readers on my blog have been so gracious towards me and so sweet which is why I always like to treat them with something on Facebook. I am about 30 likes away from my second huge goal: 500. FIVE FREAKING HUNDRED PEOPLE have found me. 

Are you robots or something? Should I be worried? 

No... At least I don't think I should be and maybe I am just psyching myself out. 

I love this blog, you readers because you give me something to come home to everyday and just vent and chat about books. 

Most recently, I have been reading under developed characters, slow plots, and ridiculously overplayed scenarios which mainly consists of doing the dirty deed. It's hot, don't get me wrong but if I have to read one more sentence with the words 'thrust' or 'moan' in it, I may just go crazy.

Maybe I have mood swings on books and being overly critical. I just cannot deal with this anymore. 

Sigh. I need something to spruce up my reading life but doesn't make it veer away to far from what I usually like. My comfort zone is exactly what that is. MINE. 

Away from reading, I am starting my junior year in college. Woot, woot! Only two more years in hell. Maybe a few more if I goto graduate school but let's see how we are feeling after these next two years. 

Now what has happened that I can share with you without it being to awkward: 

1. I met the cutest and smartest boy ever in GA and not going to lie, I regret myself for being to chicken. 
2. It's hard to find intelligent human beings to be around. Like you make me want to be more with animals and with the wolves than people sometimes. Like what's up with that? 
3. I have a car accident. No injuries, minor scratches to my car: Can't say that about the car that hit me. 
4. I have learned that people, no matter how long you have known them can still surprise you. 
5. I want to travel abroad to London. Anyone meet me there so I don't feel alone? 

Anyways, that said, since I am starting soon: It may or may not swindle on my posts... (insert sad face). 

But that's about it. 

You guys are awesome readers. 

Blog you later.

UPDATE: On My Life (Oh, so interesting... NOT.) Pt. 3

You know, working two jobs is awful. I am taking time away from reading and I also haven't done any homework. So let's procrastinate even more. 

I have a lot of good little reviews coming your way soon but I didn't finish one for today. 

But I just wanted to update you guys. As my finals are approaching, my reviews will be diminishing as I will keep my time towards studying and my jobs. In about two weeks, however, I am all yours. ;) I don't know about you but I love listening to music while I am studying so I am going list a couple of my favorite songs right now:

Hello - Adele
Same Old Love - Selena Gomez
Focus - Ariana Grande
Locked Away - R.City and Adam Levine
Cuckoo Song - Adam Lambert
Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

Alright, that's only a small amount of the songs that I am currently enjoying.

I am watching Empire, Scream Queens, and of course, Mistresses. Don't judge me but I love my daily binge watching of drama.

Alright, blog you later, awesome book nerds.

UPDATE: On My Life (Oh, so interesting... NOT.)

So I am starting my sophomore year in college... Yippee. 

I am dripping with ecstatic-ness. Is that even a word? We are definitely going to make it into a word from now on.

No, really. It is sarcasm.

Anyways, I do not want to promise anything from now on, considering that my course-load and work has increased itself just after the first day.

Either way, my blog will be updated as much as possible with the books that I do get to read on my spare time that isn't spent crying in the corner and rocking back and forth. But thank you for my readers and support and I will be back shortly as soon as I can get myself to read Rebels: City of Indra - Kendall/Kylie Jenner and Maya Sloan.

I can tell you this much... It is not going to be a great review as I hoped it would be. 

Property to Google Images

I hope that I will have it by the end of the week! Have a good rest of your night, my awesome book nerds and I will blog you later. Outs.

Frigid - Jennifer L. Armentrout

I felt like spoiling you so I binge read Frigid by Jennifer L. Armentrout... 

Now I was a bit reluctant to read this because I did not understand the whole cover art/ title. But it was a slightly funny book that got me in an awkward position of being turned on by a couple of words of what a man could do. 

Synopsis:

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.
 
Like hello abs ;)

Ugh, this book is an absolute thriller and sexy as hell novel and I cannot wait to read the second book to this book: Scorched by Jennifer L. Armentrout. 

You guys are fantastic readers and my writing is so little so I want to spoil you guys for gracing me with your eyes. 

Do I recommend reading this book? Hell to the freaking yes! Next book to be read and reviewed is The Strange Maid by Tessa Gratton.

Release Date: Fall with Me - Jennifer L. Armentrout (With You #4)

One of the greatest days of the year is finally here.

Fall With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout is finally out. It came to my kindle at 11:53pm. So it came a little earlier. 
Published Date: March 31, 2015
Genre: New Adult/Romance
Synopsis: Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.


Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

I am in love with this story so far. I just started the book and Roxy and Reece's relationship already makes me laugh to the point where I look like a crazy person on the train.

I also just finished Trust in Me, a novella by Jennifer L Armentrout which presents the point of view of Cam. It shows Cam and Avery's relationship into a deeper meaning. How truly romantic are these books because it makes so jealous of these characters.
Published Date: October 22, 2013
Genre: New Adult/Romance
Synopsis: From the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of WAIT FOR YOU, this is the story of Cam and Avery’s sizzling romance as you’ve never seen it before, told exclusively from Cam’s perspective…

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up – he can’t get this feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. What will it take to help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery’s life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?


Also just another update:

Twist - Karen Akins is finally coming out in SIX more days! So excited to read more about Bree Bennis. 

Fall With Me
by
Jennifer L. Armentrout

I know that I have been neglecting my blog but with good reason. I didn't want to give this review because it makes things so final. This book has been an amazing companion throughout the three days. Reece Anders knows how to make your hormones go a little crazy. Roxy, a bartender that has been working full time, goes to school for her best friend Charlie, and is an artist. 

If only every life was something like these series of books, things would be good. I could get used to the life of hot guys roaming around college campus because my college definitely doesn't have that. I wish it did but we weren't all blessed. 

Now this book is definitely a thriller, well I guess suspenseful is the best way to explain this because there is something so unpredictable in this that it will make you want to bang your head against the wall a good few times. However, I guess since all of these books have had something where it could happen to anyone around you, it should have been predictable. 

Anyways, I do recommend reading this book because it is a romance novel with a hint of thrilling and yet suspenseful story plot. 

Also, because this is my last time, most likely, writing about this because most of my blog is filled with it. I just got my book in the mail and my goodness! It was one of the most beautiful present that I got. Even if I got it for myself and it was an early birthday present and Jennifer L. Armentrout herself autographed it so THANK YOU!

Next book, on my to-review list is either Twist - Karen Akins or Obsidian - Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Thanks for reading this post and don't forget to follow me which you can do by clicking that follow button on the side bar on the right column! Have a good night!

I rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars. 

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.

The Longest Ride - Nicholas Sparks

Published Date: September 17, 2013
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: 
Ira Levinson is in trouble. At ninety-one years old, in poor health and alone in the world, he finds himself stranded on an isolated embankment after a car crash. Suffering multiple injuries, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes and comes into focus beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together – how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can’t possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.

A few miles away, at a local rodeo, a Wake Forest College senior’s life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death – loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he’s keeping doesn’t destroy it first.


Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.

Let me just say that I was crying throughout this entire book. Yeah there were points where it made me laugh but I was in tears for most of the time. The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks is an amazing novel where he incorporates two tragic love stories spun together by the wheel of fate. Do I recommend reading this for those in need of a good romance book? Yeah, because this book is one of those that you will cherish throughout the times.

I am kind of iffy about the movie due to the fact that in the trailer itself, they have a couple parts wrong already and it is a big pet peeve of mine when they go off from the book.



Nicholas Sparks has done it again by creating a romantically tragic story that will have you reading this from the beginning one more time. 

I rate this a good 4 out of 5 stars.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.
