Started reading Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Well Bookies,

Here is another series that I didn't get to finish and I haven't read for like two or three years. I'm not sure why I was putting off the ending of this series for so long. I hardly remember a whole lot. All I can remember in the series is that our main female character is named Katy and she moves to a town after the death of her father. I think that was the reason, I can't really remember. Anyways, she has some neighbors next door that don't really have any parents watching over them and they couldn't be more opposite. Daemon, the brother of the two kids living next door, is cold and acts like he hates Katy. But oddly she is highly attracted to him. His sister, I think Dee is her name, just wants to have a friend for once. So there is hell to be paid as secrets get revealed and baddies are after Daemon and his sister. The first book ends and I can't remember what took place in the second book but I think Daemon finally admits to his feelings and he starts dating Katy. I do know they get captured at one point by the government to get tested on or something like that. They escape somehow. End up on the run. I think there is marriage and babies involved in the last book. And that is all I can really remember except for all of the hell that broke loose in the last book during their escape. Now I'm at the last book and I have no idea what to think. I just know that the book is going to have a happy ending and that is pretty much it because what kind of book has a terrible ending where everyone dies? Don't answer that. I'm sure there are a few of them out there. But I'm going to go read now.

So until next time....

Finished reading Maybe Not

Finishing three books in three days is not bad. It should be a record for me. Okay, maybe it isn't that impressive when the three books I read was two mangas and a short novel. But if it counts towards my reading challenge, I'll take it. Anyways, the book takes place during the first one. It just explains more about Warren's complicated relationship that took place in the first book that I'm sure a lot of readers had questions about. And I have to say that his relationship is pretty typical for two people who appeared to hate each other to actually loving each other. Also, I have to give our main girl some slack because she had a bit of a rough start and didn't trust anyone. I just found it funny that the more she tried to push Warren away, the more he chased after her. He wasn't going to give up without a fight. If only most guys were like that. Especially the ones I end up dating. They see trouble and they run the other way. Anyways, I can't really say much about the book since it's so short. But it is a very enjoyable quick read if you need it. So I do recommend reading this book and the first one. Colleen is a pretty good writer and I even suggest her books to the guests at the hotel I work at. I even suggested this book while I was reading it. That says a lot about how much of a fan I am of Colleen.

So until next time....

Started reading Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover

Hey there Bookies,

When was the last time I read a Colleen Hoover book? It has been a while I think. I can't even remember the last book I read that was by her. I think it was This Girl, but I could be wrong. Anyways, this is going to be a quick read. I only know this because this I guess takes place after Maybe Someday. Or, does it take during the time in that book but just with a different point of view. I don't really know. I only read like three pages of the book. So far I have Warren getting pranked by Ridge again and then running into a bathroom naked only to see they have a new roommate. If it didn't take me so long to get my hands on this book, I would probably remember what happened in Maybe Someday. I guess the only solution to my lack of memory is to read this book and pray that it will jog something useful up there.

So until next time...

Manga post #12

Happy Holidays Bookies,

Sorry for not posting sooner. It took me a while to actually get my books from the library due to the holidays. Also sorry for not wishing anyone a happy holiday sooner because I didn't have time to even go on my computer. I love and hate the holidays. Just saying. Anyways, I was able to pick up my books yesterday and I already finished one. I'm pretty sure you can guess which ones were finished right away just by reading the title of this post.

Tokyo Ghoul was a little confusing at first for this volume. It took me a while to remember what the last one was about, but it was nice to see the history of Touka and her brother. I hope those two get along soon because family shouldn't fight. Also, I have to say that I thought her brother was older, not her. Learned something there. Anyways, I really like the series so far. I'm not sure how many volumes are left, but I have to say that I like the manga more than I like the anime. Still, haven't seen the live action film, but I do plan to as soon as I can. Right now I'm watching the Japanese version Live action film for Deathnote. So far I am not disappointed. Anyways, back to the manga, I have in my hands that I finished in like an hour. Our main character has shown up and pretty much saves the day....ish. Then he walks off in the end to pursue some personal business I guess with a selected few. I guess I will find out more about that in the next volume. Which I have already requested. I guess I need to finish my other books in order for me to find out what happens next in this series. I do highly recommend it because it is interesting. A little on the slow side, but still interesting. Sadly, not one of my favorites.

Nothing like getting the volume your favorite character is in. Sure he may have murdered his whole entire clan and traumatized his little brother for life, but I still find him the coolest character in the series. Hate me for it, I'm still an Itachi fan. Anyways, I remember some of it from the anime but it is still nice to read about. But after Itachi has his appearance the search for the new leader is back in motion. I know what the village leader is called, I just don't know how to spell it off hand. Anyways, Naruto also starts learning a new technique. And, he will keep training until he passes out which is pretty much what he is doing just so he can master this technique. Anything to become the best and have people respect you, I guess. Which reading this manga series makes me want to watch the anime and the movies all over again. It also makes me curious if there is a live action movie out there somewhere, only because I've been watching live-action films lately. It would be pretty cool to see how they would pull off this series in a live action film. I bet it would be awesome. But I'm going to head out. I have a lot to read and a live-action film of Tokyo Ghoul to finish.

So until next time.......

Rereading The Devil Laughed by Gerrie Ferris Finger

Hello Bookies,

I didn't get a chance to pick up my books from the library before the holidays, so I'm stuck with the books I have until the place opens again. So I figured I make the posts for The Devil Laughed right this time around since I have to reread everything. I guess that happens after it being missing for two or three years.

The book starts off with our main character joining what I assume is her boyfriend at a cook out with some friends during the 4th of July. The weather apparently has been really hot and there has been a drought so bad that fireworks got cancelled and the lake that are at is really low. So low that they are able to spot a missing boat just sticking out of the water. There is quite a story behind the boat that is full of mystery and questions. Two couples were on the boat, they did some activites and then took off to never be seen again. Only to have a body wash up while the others are mysteriously gone along wiht the boat. There was a huge search party, but the boat was never found. Well, at least until now when the lake is really low. Anyways, our main character's friend knows that its big to find the missing boat that she just has to stick her nose into the investigation that is going on. But eventually the whole group gets directed away. Leaving them to discuss the situation and the history of the case while eating their 4th of July meal. I kind of remember this part and it all feels a little weird to me but they are all just throwing around ideas and theories at this point. But the next chapter introduces our main character meeting her new client. She has her own business to find missing children, but she ends up getting the daughter of one of the missing people looking to her for help in finding her mother. The daughter is sure her mother is alive and doesn't believe in the rumors. Her hope is even high strong when a body is found in the same lake the sailboat was found. I can't remember if they found out who the body was. I think they reveal it later on, but I'm not sure. But slowly things are starting to get back to me. But I'm going to head out and continue reading.

So until next time......

I found a missing book

Hey there Bookies,

You remember about two years ago I lost a book that I was reading because my family had a habit of hiding books on me. Well that missing book has been found. Sadly it has been so long that I might have to reread it though. Maybe skimming through it will help jog the memory about the book. I tried reading what I had wrote previously on about the book and I have to say that I suck back then. I don't give any information on the book. No wonder you guys don't read my blog that often.

Anyways the book in quesitons is The Devil Laughed. I'm not sure where it has been hiding all of these two years but it magically appeared one day. My gramps must have found it thinking it was my cousins or something. He probably found it going through my grans' things after she passed, then placed it on her desk waiting for some one to claim it. I was so happy to see the book after so long. It's a shame that it took going through my deceased grandmother's things in order to find it. But now I can finally finish the book. Time for a happy dance.

So until next time.......

Done reading Deep

Hello Bookies,

This book is just a huge dramatic complicated mess. I love it. Anyways, I'm actually sad to finish this book. I was really enjoying it. And, yes, I looked up to see if there was more to the series even thought I knew that there wasn't any more. I was still hoping. I really wish that there was more. But this is just another series that I was sad to see finished. The book kept me on my toes and had me thinking that things were going to go smoothly in the beginning after the crazy prologue. But once the drama came, it just kept on coming. But I do highly recommend the series and I'm sad that it took me so long to finish it. But go check it out. Find out about the drama yourself because I would just ruin the book if I told you everything that went on. All I can say is that Ben finally came to his senses and then came in his sister and ruined it. The witch. But everything works out in the end. Now I'm just going to go twiddle my thumbs and wonder what I'm going to go do for the rest of my time while waiting for the next batch of books to come in at the library. And, maybe question my life after reading this fabulous book.

So until next time.......

Reading Deep

I'm sorry Bookies,

I made a slight mistake in the last post about this book. But do you blame me? It has been forever since I read the series. So I guess she was the sister of the person who married the drummer. Not the guitarist.  At least I got the sister part right. Anyways, now that my mistake has been corrected, let's talk about the story. Which started off pretty funny by the end of the prologue. Anyways, the next few chapters explain how the two end up together and it leads up to what happened between them Then we find out that Ben didn't get told the news the way Liz had planned. He also didn't take the news all that well. It ended up with him drunk and at out main female character's home. That is where she finds out that he doesn't want kids and she feels even more disappointed and upset with herself. I hope this story ends up better than it has been so far. Because I am really hating Ben at the moment.

So until next time.....

Started reading Deep by Kylie Scott

Hey there Bookies,

I know it has been a while since I read a Kylie Scott book. I blame the fact that I had to wait for my library to get the book and then I had the huge holds list that kept me from getting my hands on this book. But I finally have it. If I remember correctly, this is the last book in the series since all of the other members of the group are either married or have found the person they want to be with forever. This one is going to be an interesting one. Because if I remember correctly, the sister of our guitarist's wife is having a love affair with the bassist of the band. Which leads to this story. There is going to be a lot of drama in this book. I can just feel it. But I shouldn't make myself wait for too long or I might forget to read it.

So until next time.....

Manga Post #11

I know it has been a while, but I'm back to reading mangas. I had to finish the books I had first before I could continue reading the series I had. But now I have my hands on them and ready to continue the adventures that these mangas hold.

It's been a while to the point that I almost forgot what had happened in the last volume. Anyways the attack against the village has come to an end. Sadly, not everyone escaped unscathed. It still gets me at the funeral scene even if I was reading it this time around and not watching it in the anime. It still tugs at my heartstrings. But at least Naruto saved his friends from death, but it just makes one of them angry and wants to do better. Also in this volume, my favorite character shows up. It is just an introduction to him and it just makes me all the more excited to read the next volume. I think someone mentioned that my favorite character eventually goes good and sacrifices himself to save the village. But I don't know how accurate that is until I actually finish the series. Either way, I enjoyed the manga, but I have to admit that it is kind of dragging on at this point. I know in the anime this was a slow period before something huge happens. I think I'm getting close to the part where Suske (sorry if I spelled the name wrong) runs off to join the bad guys because he wants more power to kill his brother. I'm not sure, but the only way to find out is to read more.

I first have to mention that the cover of this volume looks pretty cool. I'm not sure why, but it does. Anyways, this is another series I almost forgot what was going on because it has been so long. But after a few pages, I remembered how the other one had ended and I'm like "oh yeah, now it makes sense". In the previous volume, our main character gets held captive by a bunch of bad ghouls. He is currently being held against his will thinking that he was saving lives by giving himself up. Sadly, his torture is in complete vain when the people he tried to save is killed right in front of him. Also during this time, he is slowly losing his sanity. Even to the point that he is seeing Rize. But eventually, he fights his way out of the sticky situation just as the investigators are battling it out with the bad ghouls. I wonder what our main character's friends will think of him after they see what his torture has done to him. Now I'm just wondering whether or not our main character is going to be reunited with his friends while on the battlefield or will it be back in ward 20. Who knows? But I like how the volume ended with a bit of a cliffhanger by bringing in this supposed one-eyed ghoul that is like our main character.

That is all for now, I have other things to read but it was nice to get back to my mangas after such a long time. But I'm going to head out for now.

So until next time......

Almost done reading Bad For You

I went through this book faster than I thought I would. Only because of the fact that all of the other books I have read had taken me soo long to read.  Anyways, I thought that this book wasn't really going to have big-time drama in it after all the denying took place. But I was wrong. Abbi Glines throws something unexpected into the storyline that makes you pretty much have to sit back and ask yourself what the hell did you just read? I'm kind of sad that this moment happened close to the end of the book, meaning that things are going to get interesting really quick and hopefully be resolved real quick. I'm not done with the book yet, but I literally had to tear myself away just to write this post. I need to know what is going to happen next. So I'm going to make this short and finish this book. I highly recommend it and the series. I think I'm even almost done with it, making me think what series is going to take its place. But I'm sure I will find another one. Either way, Abbi Glines doesn't really disappoint with her books and I look forward to reading the next book in the series and any other books she has written.

So until next time.....

Started reading Bad For You by Abbi Glines

Let's hope that this book doesn't take me forever to read. I have been having that problem lately. Anyways, I just started reading the book and after the first two chapters, I already feel sorry for the main female character. Her whole life she was told that she was ugly and leaked sin. What kind of person would do that to someone? And, then blame them for everything that went wrong. Anyways, luckily our female lead ends up getting a new start after her foster mom dies. Her foster dead ships her away so he doesn't have to deal with her. The whole entire time of her thinking it was because she was ugly and that no one wanted to look at her. The whole town she grew up in hated her because of rumors that were spread by her foster mom. I say, the girl deserves a fresh start. And maybe some respect that she deserves. But she has already met Krit in this series and I know for a fact that this book is going to be a rollercoaster ride. Most of them are and I can't wait to read about it. I might as well wrap up here and officially dive into the book.

So until next time.....

Almost done reading Be With Me

The main character in this book has pretty much been given hell. I could tell you all that she goes through but that would just ruin the story. I will hint at a few events though. Like the fact that she loses any chance of achieving her dreams because of her roommate's stupid boyfriend. Then she finds said roommate in a very traumatizing way. Only to have the guy she loves confess his feelings for her and then dumps her. I take back saying this book was too predictable. A few of these events I didn't see coming.  I wouldn't blame our main character if she decided to give up and just go home. That would probably be something I would have done. Either that or go crying to my older brother so he can kick his best friend's butt for being stupid. But I'm not done with the book yet and Jase still has a few secrets that need to be revealed. But do highly recommend reading this series. You can even read the books on their own and not be too lost. But go check out this book and the one before it which is Cam's story.

So until next time...

Reading Be With Me

I feel like my life sucks right now. That it sucks too much that I can't even read. Sorry for putting it out there, but it kind of felt good to say it. Anyways, sorry for taking forever to just get a third of the way through the book. Things are pretty busy on the home front since my mother got sick. I'm stuck taking care of my younger siblings and they don't make it easy to sit back and read. I'm going to need a few glasses of good wine when my mom finally gets back recovering from her surgery. She also owes me big time.

The book is quite interesting. There is the whole "I can't be with you because of something going on with my past, but I'll like and say that it's because you are best friend's little sister" kind of vibe going on.  I saw called the real story of the little brother too. That was predictable. But most romance stories are. Now the question is, why all the shame and secrecy? Guess I have to read more on that. But not a whole lot happens in the first third of the book. Probably because the main purpose is to just introduce the characters and give a little bit of a backstory. But now that the cat is out of the bag, things are about to get interesting. Sorry for the short post. I promise to make the next one longer and more worth your while.

So until next time.....
