October Wrap Up

By
October has flown by so fast and we are at the end of the year! I had a really good reading month and read a total of 7 books. That is 3 more than my average books per month. I also have a good amount of books that I want to read for the month of November.

This was so good and I read it in one sitting. I also heard that there is a movie coming out and filming has just wrapped up. I have seen the cast of the movie and they fit perfectly. I can't wait till it comes out.

I am trying to get into middle grade fiction and I have always wanted to read this series. I listened to it and I loved the audio version of it. I didn't post a review because I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys know what this is about and have read. Although I loved the movie this was nothing like the movie.

The publishers were kind enough to send me this ARC of Three Dark Crowns. I did enjoy this story. It had good potential and a good build up for the second book. I did have a few issues with it but if you want to look at more you can check out my review. This story is about triplets that are born that each have powers. When the time comes for one of them to take the throne the sisters have exactly one year to fight to the death unfortunately only one of the two sisters have their powers.

I read this book as part of a book club that I run at my local library. I don't often venture off into adult fiction but I am trying to get more into it. I loved reading this story. There is a movie that is out and I want to go see that as well. I didn't review it because this is a popular book and there are a lot of reviews about this out there and with the movie out I'm sure you guys know the basic synopsis of the story.







I received this ARC from the publisher via net galley. The release date for this was yesterday (11/1/). There are three things Kori knows for sure about her life:

One: Her army general dad is insanely overprotective.

Two: The guy he sent to watch her, Cade, is way too good-looking.

Three: Everything she knew was a lie.

Now there are three things Kori never knew about her life:

One: There’s a device that allows her to jump dimensions.

                                                 Two: Cade’s got a lethal secret.

                                                 Three: Someone wants her dead.
Just the synopsis made me want to love it

This was sent to me for review by the author. This was one of the perfect reads for the Halloween spirit. It is set in New Orleans. It is very dark and intense not to mention it has voodoo. I loved reading this along with the previous ones within the series. I have reviews listed for those as well.

I also received this book by the author. He is one of my favorite authors that writes about time travel. I wasn't much into time travel books but I slowly became a fan of it. The writing is good as well.

The Mister Book Review

By
Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

By
Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

By
I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
