Skin and Bones By Sherry Shahan

I am reviewing this book for NetGalley and I found the description of the book interesting.  

 

Skin and Bones by Sherry Shahan 

The book was an easy and pretty light read of being a book about teenage eating disorders. When so many young-adult novels about eating disorders are from a female of view, still this one is a new bright star among them because it is from a male point of view. I found this refreshing and a great idea.  

As great of an idea as it was the story line or plot line was full of holes and gaps. I kept thinking that I was missing pages but looking back I didn’t. I also felt that the time arc of the story was off or maybe it was the fact there was no in between actions. It was a light un-heavy read about eating disorders that hit on the seriousness of the health issues the young adults face in the book.

I gave this book a 3 stars because as I did love some points of this book and it could be a great read for someone else. 

This book comes out March 1st 2014, so check it out.

Crashing Into You by B.D.Rowe

 I got to read this book early thanks to NetGalley.  I loved the cover and the over all description of the book but that is all it has going for it.

Crashing into You by B.D. Rowe

This book was really hard to finish. I found myself rolling my eyes every five minutes. The main characters in this book are fake, shallow and uninteresting as well as the secondarily characters. I didn’t care about them or what happen to them which is very disappointing, when I read a book I want to care about the characters but in this book I couldn’t. From page one we meet Sydney a young college girl who had some bad breaks in her short life so far, then we found out that she is in love with (wants to have sex with him, which we found out over and over again) he roommates boyfriend of a year. After that something happens to the roommate; now Sydney and Evan (the roommate’s boyfriend) can be together and somehow over like three chapters they are in love, happy (really after what happens with the roommate).  Then something bad happens again. She ends up in the hospital, Evan tells he some bad news. The end, really that’s the end of the book. I hate that kind of ending, and it’s not like I want to read any more about the characters but really have some kind of ending. I found this book unrealistic, shallow and overly based on Alcohol as well as just having bad things happen to one girl over and over. It was to all over the places to really understand the plot or if it had a plot to begin with. This book was a miss and that’s why I am giving it only one stars. I wouldn’t read it again or tell anyone to read this.  

If you want to try this book it comes out November 5th 2013 or i think you can get it now on amazon.com  (link it for you)

Must Read 2014

I got to read this early thanks to NetGalley and i was not disappointed.i when into reading this book not knowing what this book was about,i just loved the cover. i love going into books blind not knowing anything. i found myself not able to put in down and read it in one sitting.


The Summer I Found You by Jolene Perry : was a very real read for myself. Having just found out a few months ago that a family member has diabetes made this book so much more real. I found myself feeling that this could happen to anyone; both Kate and Aidan story lines are so real. I found myself wanting to tell them that it would be fine and they would make it. I love Aidan, his story line and how Jolene written him.She put real emotion into his character and you can really see that in the book. He is one of the best male written characters that i have read in a long time. She made me feel for him and at the right moments she makes you want to yell at him, then the next just hold him. As for Kate, Jolene did a great job writing how most teenage would act if that happen to them, pretended it’s not happening it in till it goes away. She really put work into how she written Kate,making her strong and weak all at the same time. i like when you read a story where the main character is strong but weak all at the same time.It makes you believe that this character is like a real person.No one is strong all the time.
I give this book a five out five stars.I am going to tell everyone to read this book. It’s the right mix of realism and romance to make everyone happy. I will for sure read this again. This is the second book I have read by Jolene Perry and will not be my last.

The Summer I Found You by Jolene Perry come out in early 2014.

Jonathan Livingston SeaGull

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

   I read this book at the beginning of the year because some of the other book lovers i talk with said that i should read it. It is only 117 pages broken down in to three parts and it has pictures. It's a one sitting book that you will keep thinking about it for days. 

This book is not told from a human perspective but from the perspective of a Seagull named Jonathan. All Jonathan want to do is fly, but not only only fly but be the best flyer he can be. With that he stops eating and flys all day and night much to his other bird friends dismay. everyone else thinks that Jonathan should give up and eat like a seagull should. Jonathan keeps on fly and becomes the best flyer he can be. Their is much more to this book then just that but if you want to know more read it. 

what this book teaches you is amazing. This is what i leaned:

You should always from your heart and live life for you and no one else. Don't follow the rules, you should always make your own.

You should always be the best self you can be. You are who you are you shouldn't care what other people think of you.

You are the only person stopping you from doing something is yourself.

Maybe as a human you can't fly because we don't have wings or anything like that but this book makes you want to fly and be as free as you can. If you find something that makes you feel free you should do that and keep doing that. Being and feel free is what everyone wants in life other then love and happiness. 

Everyone should read this great book.

2013 Blogs:

I going to be doing a new book club thing this year . i am also doing the A To Z challenge, i will be doing a post about that. I what this to be the best blog i can write. I am not a great writer but i am a great reader. i read all the time, So i hope that over the next year i can work on  my writing and help people find the love in books that i have. 

I am  sitting here writing this at my Barnes and Nobles store, with book lovers all around me. I have great hope for this year and this Blog.

Every time i read something you become a part of it, you are part of the story. 

I am going to quote John Green and say:

 

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” 

Book are so much more then something to take up you time:

The Best Mistake: Book Haul

One of the libraries had a book sale today and i come out with gold in books.
I got some books that i have been wanting and others i got the name or cover looked/sounded good. I also picked up the large amount of books at the library i had on hold that came it.

I got about 20 books from the sale plus about 20 little kids picture book for ten dollars, so thats 0.25 cents per book and most of the books i got where hard cover. Yes.

What i have read in the past month or so has been :


Dark Lover by J.R. Ward: It is an amazing book and has a great spin to vampires. It a love book with actions. I am reading the second book in this series now. really like it .

Take Me By Belle Andre: It was a good book and i love when the main people love each other but don't tell each other. I like books that are realist with sex and love.

Wicked Pleasure by Lora Leigh: This book is not for just anyone to read, has a lot of sex and some of it is male female male. just so you know what your getting into but it is a really great story about a love that lasted over a long period of time.

The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst: It's a funny book about two people that knew each other at a young age, then when they are old they need each other for something. They use each other and get more then they want but everything they need. It is any great book about loving someone without really knowing you do. first book in a group of three i think.

Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning: This book is something, it has sex and rock. It's a good book and has some parts that make me think again but after i read it, i really like it. If you like music, sex and a quick love story then this is the book for you. It is the first book in a group of five.



I  am done with my 2012 reading challenge with was read 130 book before the end of the year but as for today i have read 140....10 over. GO ME!

I found this website called wattpad that people write stories and post them on this site to read. I have read some really great stories on it. some are better then some books i have read. So you should check it out and maybe write something yourself.

Keep reading and more later
