Cooler Than Mom Jeans, but Just as Comfortable
Since seeing The Hunger Games movie twice, and rereading the book a couple of times, I fell into a very predictable sadness. It was much comparable to the great Harry Potter Depression of 2011, but on a bit of a smaller scale since there are still a couple of movies to look forward to. Even if I WILL be well into my mid thirties by … [Read more...]
Let me start off by saying that I wanted to love this book. The cover absolutely drew me in, and it's been everywhere lately, so I was really excited to read it. But I didn't love it. The book description says the following: "A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious … [Read more...]
I love thriller/mystery books but it seems like it gets harder and harder to find ones that really grab me and stand out. I used to read a lot of John Grisham and James Patterson, and although they both write excellent books, after you read a bunch of them they seem to run together. I came across Defending Jacob while browsing on my … [Read more...]
I came across The Fault In Our Stars by John Green when I was browsing Young Adult selections on Amazon. It caught my attention because of it's 5 star rating, so I read a few of the reviews (all AMAZING) and decided to give it a go. Then I read it like crazy and couldn't put it down and cried buckets while my husband looked … [Read more...]
Awhile back, I posted on my Facebook page that I was reading The Night Circus. There was a lot of feedback--some positive (LOVED it), some negative (HATED it), and some curious. So, I thought I'd give my own opinion of the book for those of you who haven't given it a try yet. Personally, I loved it. There are some … [Read more...]
One of my favorite things about the Winter is snuggling up on the recliner with a soft blanket and a good book...or more often than not, my Nook color (which I love). Then my husband sits by me and talks about what just happened on the football game. Because after all these years, he still thinks that I not only pay attention to … [Read more...]
One present I always love is books. Even though I own an E Reader, there is really nothing like a brand new book with crisp pages and new book smell. Yes, I sniff my books. Is that weird? Anyways, if you're not a reader, it can be really hard to buy gifts for someone who is. Obviously, I recommend getting some info … [Read more...]
Let's face it. Regardless of HOW you may feel about it, Vampires are in style. I, for one, am pro Vampire. But if I were to meet one in real life, I would probably change my mind pretty darn quickly. You know...blood breath and fangs and all that jazz. Anyways, in honor of Breaking Dawn's big debut this week, I … [Read more...]
I love books. Not only is my Nook full of ebooks waiting to be read, but so are my bookshelves. The list of books I want to read grows daily, and I don't think I will ever EVER catch up. Most of the time I lean towards fiction. What type of fiction depends on my mood. Sometimes I want fluff--something girly, fun and … [Read more...]
When I was thinking about the book section of this blog, I immediately knew I wanted to contact one of my very favorite bloggers, Darla from Bakingdom, about a guest post. Not only is her talent immense (have you seen THIS?? or THIS??) but her personality is huge. She's a think-outside-the-box kinda girl, which I adore. I truly … [Read more...]
I read the Hunger Games Trilogy last year, shortly before the third book in the series came out. I flew through all of them, and was disappointed to find out that the movie wouldn't be released until March of 2012. Boo. Harry Potter is over, the Twilight series is ALMOST over, and my next Hunger Games fix is … [Read more...]
I love to read. And one of my favorite series is the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) set. They're nothing life changing, but they're fast and easy to read, and a fun combination of scary, far fetched, and sexy. If you've watched the show on HBO and never read the books, you're missing out on a lot. The TV show often … [Read more...]
