Started reading Beautiful Oblivion

Gathering Blue was put back on the shelf due to the fact that I finally got Beautiful Oblivion by Jaime McGuire. I'm fricken excited to read this book. This book has high expectations from me because its supposed to be a run off of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster. Two of my favorite books of all time. No matter how much I read those books, I still end up bawling at the break up scenes. Anyways, I was always curious about Travis Maddox's brothers and how their lives go. Also just reading the back makes me want to read the book. I think I will not be disappointed with this book. I still feel like a crack addict with their next fix. I may have a reading problem. But, I'm going to go off and read the book. Prob finish it in about two days, then I'll be off to read Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon. So until next time....

Started reading Gathering Blue

Why did no one tell me that the one book that started my bookworm status was part of a series? I just so happen to grab the second book with out even realizing it. Yay to the subconscious. Anyways, the first that I ever read that made me love reading was The Giver. I read the book like six times in one year and I had to read other adventures after that. It was like opening a door to all of these possibilities. If only it came sooner then later in school. Would of helped me out a lot. Anyways, I also hear The Giver is being turned into a movie. If so, I want to see it. What better reason then to see the book that started it all in motion picture? I'm prepared to see a lot of differences.

 

So the book I'm talking about is Gathering Blue. I'm not sure what it is about. I just saw it for sale at goodwill for like $.99. I briefly read the back, thought it would be interesting and bought it.  Then I looked it up on Goodreads to see if it was part of a series in case I can't read it until I read the first book. Turns out it is part of a series and its the second book. I went to check out the series for the name of the first book, and I'm shocked to see that I read the first book already. I look over to the title and guess what I see, it the fricken giver. So that just made huge expectations for this book. Not many books get put up against the one book that started it all. Usually they get compared to my favorite book. So I'm so ready to pick up this book and just see what adventures it hold. So until next time....

Finished reading Wild Cards

I guess being sick in bed has its advantages, in a way. The whole day I had a grandmother telling my how lazy I am and how I always have something wrong with me. She's a mean lady, but can't help but love the woman. Kind of reminded me of Derek's grandma in the book. She is set in her ways and is willing to do what ever it takes to change her grandchild into her standards. I didn't think I would read a book that reminds me of my grans. Shocker. Anyways, I finished the book. I was already half way through it when I placed it on my bookshelf. So, Ashtyn and Derek went to Texas. Ashtyn went through hell at football camp and Derek went through hell with his grandmother. But, Derek ended up finally telling Ashtyn why he doesn't play football anymore. Of course that was after the fact that she found out he was some football prodigy. There was a bit of fighting, both verbal and physical, as you got closer to the end. Then some love confessions, and even more fighting. Derek likes to fight a lot. Then the most romantic thing to win the girl's heart. I also may have almost cried a few times. I couldn't help it, I'm just emotional like that. Anyways, I liked the book. Sure it was a little predictable, but you can't help but be drawn into it. If I could, I'd give the book four and a half stars. But I can't, so it has to be given four stars. Sad face. But, its a good book and I recommend you to go read it if you are into romantic lovey stuff. I'm for sure a sucker for those. So until next time....

Finished reading Illusion and started Wild Cards

Well I finished reading the only Sherrilyn Kenyon book I own. I really liked it and it kept me from wanting to put it down. Especially when Nick is trying to get back into his normal body. Nail bitter there. Anyways, even though I liked the book I still gave it four stars on goodreads. I can picture you guys booing me. I'm sorry guys. I just can't say that I loved the book. Sure it blew my mind in the middle, but after that is was okay. Some epic battles that kept you on your feet. But at least he ending had you pretty much screaming for more. I'd given it four and a half stars, but goodreads only does whole stars. Its lame.

 

Anyways, my next book is one that I have been trying to finish since the day I got it, Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles. I wish I could tell you about all that I have read so far since apparently I'm halfway through the book, but I honestly can't remember a thing. All I know is that we have a trouble maker who has to move back to his stepmom's hometown while his dad is away on some military mission or what not. Our trouble maker's name is Derek by the way. Then we have our tomboy football playing leading lady, Ashtyn. She hates Derek's guts that we know of and her boyfriend slash ex-boyfriend left the team because she ended up captain and he didn't. What a dick. I think I left off with Ashtyn asking Derek to go with her to Texas so she can go to this football camp and Derek is kind of refusing. I think that if they do go on this trip, some feelings about each other are going to surface and finally admitted. So until next time.....

Reading Illusion part 2

Okay, so my mind is completely blown right now. So many questions that are formed with the previous books are now being answered. Like who the hell is Kody? Yeah, she becomes Nick's semi-girlfriend, but who is she? Where is she from? Why is she so secretive? I'm not even sure I should tell you some of the answers. As I'm reading, I'm starting to think I shouldn't read it. I still have Styxx to read for the Dark Hunter series and this last chapter I just read made me wonder if I read a spoiler. I have no idea how to react right now. I told you, my mind is completely blown with some of these answers. Who would of thought going to an alternate universe would answer some hardcore questions? Anyways, we finally found out how Nick was able to be transported and why. Its no other reason then to kill him. The enemy is also no who you think it is in the beginning. The enemy is actually related to Kody in some way, and now they are out to kill her along with Nick. I've only read two chapters since my last post and holy crap, a lot happens in those two chapters. It has you so hooked that you don't even notice how far you have gotten until you close the book. I just want to know if they succeed in getting Nick back to his normal life in order to save the world. They have to or else it would just make it a really good book with a really dumb ending. But I'm going to have my mind blown even more as I try to finish this book. So until next time....

Reading Illusion

I'm about half way through the book already and a lot has happened. But for those who have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, I'll give you a brief explanation. Illusion is part of a series called The Chronicles of Nick. I can't remember what number it is, but I think its the fourth book. I could be wrong. Most likely. Anyways, its kind of a run off of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter Series. So our main character Nick is the main focus in the whole series. Hence why its called The Chronicles of Nick. Nick just so happens to be part demon due to the fact that his father, who is the strongest demon to live, had a child with Nick's mother, who is human. The supposed story is that Nick's father raped his mother, but the more you read into the series you being to realize that wasn't the case. Heck the guy sacrificed himself to save Nick and his mom. That is true love right there. Anyways, the series is all about Nick coming into his powers while all of these things come after him to either end his life or enslave him. Its one of the side effects of being one of the strongest demons on earth. Anyways, the book that I'm reading is that Nick is pulled into an alternate universe. Why? Most likely to weaken him enough that he can be killed. He now has to make it back into his world in order to save the world from a big bad evil general demon that his father made a deal with for just in case he died. Sacrificing himself doesn't seem like it was a smart move at the moment. Especially when Nick is running for his life from people he thought were friends in his world and a swarm of demons working for a even stronger demon. All hell is pretty much breaking loose at the moment. And that is just half of the book. I pretty much stopped with Nick pretty much sacrificed himself to keep everyone he loved in the alternate universe and got dragged away. I'm not sure what is going to happen, or how Nick is going to get back to his world. But I'm fully prepared not to rest until I find out. If only my eyes agreed. They keep trying to close for good. So until next time.....

Started reading Illusion by Sherrylin Kenyon

So, being the huge fan that I am of Sherrilyn Kenyon, I had just so happen to have bought this book when it first came out. It took a lot of begging to get it. Anyways, I'm most likely never going to read Glimmerglass anytime soon. So I decided to read this baby before Instinct comes out. Which I'm pretty excited about. I honestly attempted to start reading this book, but when I get a limit amount of time for books from the library, I kind of have to put it on the shelf. And sometimes I forget that its there. I'm not perfect fan, but still a fan. Anyways I'm finally going to read this book and hopefully finish it before I pick up Styxx from the library, another Sherrilyn Kenyon book. I'm just getting her books left and right lately. Might have to do with the books that are coming out all of a sudden. I finished most of the series and having these books come out make it all the better. Anyways I'm going to go off and read Illusion. From what I hear or read on the inside cover, Nick goes in an alternate reality where there is no such thing a supernatural stuff. I would rather live in a world of supernatural. So until next time.....
