<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />"We are all book lovers and the need to share our enthusiasm is sometimes overwhelming. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in the physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If you're anything like me, you are probably hoarding books and even though you are excited about your latest book arrival, it might be a while before you get to review it and Stacking The Shelves is a good way to express your undying enthusiasm for those titles."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I read this book years ago and while I don't remember most of it I do remember it made me want to go out and get a passport and just hope on the next plane to Europe. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This one isn't necessarily a 'travel' book and it may even make you want to skip your vacation as it starts with a plane crash BUT I really loved this book and it would be great to read once you're already on the beach sun bathing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This book is another one of my favorite books to reread during the warm months. It's set in the Hampton's and it's the perfect beach read!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This book was a huge surprise for me. I don't even know why I picked it up because I rarely read women's fiction but it just called to me and I LOVED it! It's got that southern feel to it plus a spontaneous road trip with a stranger. Perfect book if you're craving a cross country road trip!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I guess I only have 8 this week. Honestly I could add 2 Nicholas Sparks books and call it a day but to be honest, I'm too lazy to narrow it down to 2 and find the covers. But his books always make me want to hop on a plane to North Carolina, his settings are beautiful!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So this months reading got WAY off track! If you saw my February TBR then you'll know I didn't stick to it... At all... And it's all Cassandra Clares fault! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My local bookstore announced that she was going to be doing a signing in town (!!!!) in March and I immediatly through my TBR out the window and set out to finish The Immortal Instruments series before the event! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">4. I was in the middle of reading this at the end of January and I finished the last 3 novellas in this bind up. The Assassin and the Desert was my favorite and of course the last one (I can't remember the title) killed me. Made me want to cancel all my plans and just sit and finish the series! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This book was awful and beautiful and gut wrenching and I loved it! I cannot wait to see the movie.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had already read City of Ashes and City of Glass but I couldn't remember a thing so I skipped over City of Bones (which I pretty much know by heart) and reread 2 and 3 then jumped right into 4. I'm almost done with 5, I have about 50 pages left and then I'll tackle the beast that is City of Heavenly Fire. Hopefully finishing by the time I meet Cassandra Clare! These obviously are all 5 stars and I loved reading them! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I actually listened to this one this month, and it took me all month to get through it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When I like an audio book I listen to it constantly, in the car, while working out, even in the shower. This one started out great and I went through about two hours in one night but then it just got so slow and so boring. It took me the rest of the month to finish it and I'm still not sure if I want to try and finish the series... </span></div>

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in the physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If you're anything like me, you are probably hoarding books and even though you are excited about your latest book arrival, it might be a while before you get to review it and Stacking The Shelves is a good way to express your undying enthusiasm for those titles."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This cover it just gorgeous!!! This is about a girl who is a 'wanderer', she never stays in one place and she makes a living off of scamming people. It's how her camp works and it's the only life she has ever known or wanted. This is until she meets and boy and starts thinking if 'wandering' is really what she wants to do for the rest of her life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All I know about this book is that it's a murder mystery with a pink haired love interest! Honestly I only requested this book because I know the authors previous series (Nearly Gone) has great reviews and I love a good YA mystery!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This one comes out... May freaking 3rd! </span><br />

Win the girl.<br /><br />A strange beast stirs fear in the kingdom of Lochlanach, terrorizing towns with its brutality and hunger. In an act of desperation, a proclamation is sent to all of Eurona—kill the creature and win the ultimate prize: the daughter of King Lochson’s hand in marriage.<br /><br />Princess Aerity understands her duty to the kingdom though it pains her to imagine marrying a stranger. It would be foolish to set her sights on any particular man in the great hunt, but when a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention, there’s no denying the unspoken lure between them…or his mysterious resentment.<br /><br />Paxton is not keen on marriage. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He’s determined to keep his focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast and protecting his family—yet Princess Aerity continues to challenge his notions with her unpredictability and charm. But as past secrets collide with present desires, dire choices threaten everything Paxton holds dear.<br /><br />Inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ tale, “The Singing Bone,” New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins delivers a dark fantasy filled with rugged hunters, romantic tension, outlawed magic, and a princess willing to risk all to save her people.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">To be perfectly honest, just reading the synopsis on this book is doesn't sound like my kind of book BUT (!!!!) it's by Wendy Higgins who I've recently discovered and I LOVED reading her Sweet Trilogy! So of course this is on my list!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So I just went through what books I've read so far in 2016 and picked a couple that weren't my typical go to books. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> Usually I leave the 'ugly cry' books up to Nicholas Sparks but when I saw the preview for the movie adaptation of this book I knew I needed to read it!

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> I love high fantasy but it's very intimidating! So even though I've already read Throne Of Glass I've been putting off reading the prequel which means I've been putting off all the other books in the series. Silly me these were some of my all time favorite novella's and I feel like it really helped me to get to know Celaena and her reasoning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This is just a book that I don't normally gravitate towards but it was a very pleasant surprise! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So if you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know I try very hard to stay away from re-tellings, but I've decided to change that this year and this book helped me do it! I loved everything about it and I can't say enough about how much I LOVED it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A short post, but Top 4 is better than nothing! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Happy Tuesday! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So today I'm doing another book tag! This time it's the "Unpopular Opinion Book Tag"! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #1. A popular book or series that you didn't like:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacLlHqAX1NvrgkxHc3_2_XaqeU79LujtuZKiQeJcEA83dMSxKwAUSNGvhDtk59uhcqTj94q9DqIZaCKjld2XX9tbjWJLJhhThp6fos_d2jW-EY7Fy8Rxmc3vAANiM_84akhk25ZrHUM3t/s1600/18166936.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacLlHqAX1NvrgkxHc3_2_XaqeU79LujtuZKiQeJcEA83dMSxKwAUSNGvhDtk59uhcqTj94q9DqIZaCKjld2XX9tbjWJLJhhThp6fos_d2jW-EY7Fy8Rxmc3vAANiM_84akhk25ZrHUM3t/s320/18166936.jpg" width="211" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Boy oh boy did I really hated this book. If I remember right it was Reagan (on Booktube) who just raved about this book. So when Audible had it on sale for under $5.00 I snatched it up. But after listening to the whole damn book I realized just how much I despised this book. From the writing to the characters to the weird ass story line... Ugh... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #2. A popular book or series that everyone else seems to hate but that you love: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqV1BQjQ8NU81VX_c7iZ0n1Sjx_TIAjjQk3o_SRA3-d5H6pV1Onxmi2079cQKeS1IRXX0tUuE7omJ4HQ_yK6zR4clT5CgJoBOkdhpChwc3jx5l0VHgjO7Ed8t2oTGRT2wuM3s1z5B4X4y/s1600/17878931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqV1BQjQ8NU81VX_c7iZ0n1Sjx_TIAjjQk3o_SRA3-d5H6pV1Onxmi2079cQKeS1IRXX0tUuE7omJ4HQ_yK6zR4clT5CgJoBOkdhpChwc3jx5l0VHgjO7Ed8t2oTGRT2wuM3s1z5B4X4y/s320/17878931.jpg" width="208" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I've talked to so many people about this book and watched so many reviews on Booktube and the majority of those people didn't like this book. Are ya'll crazy?! I just recently finished a re-read of this and I went into it telling myself to try to see it from their points of view... And let me tell you, I loved it even more the second time around! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #3. A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person you DIDN'T want them to end up with or and OTP you don't like (spoilers ahead for this one!):</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwYG8zj3EMOX-Ic6VTP5exZKIvealI7ptp0Xw49Jkt-Og2c8EqeOg9NZ8pOBDiOeWgKoJgEbZbtzyHBwOHcqxUhURWThjJrBgc8kQXtLuAuVQtWMdLxTA8xl7ZXy5JUKsJQKmsfXb4TikS/s1600/22875451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwYG8zj3EMOX-Ic6VTP5exZKIvealI7ptp0Xw49Jkt-Og2c8EqeOg9NZ8pOBDiOeWgKoJgEbZbtzyHBwOHcqxUhURWThjJrBgc8kQXtLuAuVQtWMdLxTA8xl7ZXy5JUKsJQKmsfXb4TikS/s320/22875451.jpg" width="212" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now we all know this book is loosely based off of Kate Middleton and her romance with Prince William so from the beginning I knew my OTP in this book was screwed buuut I liked Bex and Freddie together ten times more than Bex and Nick. I was really hoping there would be a nice twist at the end where she ran off with him... Sorry Nick!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It isn't so much a specific genre as a setting that I try to stray away from but, if it's set on a boat I try not to read it. I hate reading about boat's, boat settings, endless journeys from on continent to another. It drives me crazy. I get really claustrophobic and this setting just seems to set that off in me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #5. A popular or beloved character that you don't like: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcIViPuGF3cxeE9ekdx15xWNiTy7uOWbZEr4TM1hDAaZ5xj3Tz-L3aItR1KocSKYqq2d3ZgDEvRfkIclcQodfUvvllX20hd67Hf9yZwYvOmOlguGNJlvMQxoAtNR-b9NbLF_k12teeXqL/s1600/Quarter_quell_peeta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcIViPuGF3cxeE9ekdx15xWNiTy7uOWbZEr4TM1hDAaZ5xj3Tz-L3aItR1KocSKYqq2d3ZgDEvRfkIclcQodfUvvllX20hd67Hf9yZwYvOmOlguGNJlvMQxoAtNR-b9NbLF_k12teeXqL/s320/Quarter_quell_peeta.jpg" width="208" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now wait before you freak out! When I first started reading the books I didn't like Peeta, I was very much team Gale and it took me re-reading the books and the movies to realize how much I actually loved Peeta Mellark. Now he's one of my favorite fictional characters! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #6. A popular author you can't seem to get into: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Andrea Cremer. It's not at all because I don't like her or her writing but it's more like I read the first book in her Nightshade series and I never made the time to read the rest. I hope one day I can find the time to sit down and finish the series but for now it's not a priority. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #7. A popular book troupe you're tired of seeing (lost princess, corrupt ruler, love triangle): </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I don't know if this would really be considered a 'troupe' but I'm so very much over when you're reading a trilogy and the first book ends with your MC getting together with the love interest and then in the second book that love interest is complete absent for whatever reason. I feel like it all started with New Moon and it needs to stop! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #8. A popular series you have no interest in reading: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I feel like I need to hide now! This series has so much hype and so much love but to be honest.. I'm too much of a baby to read it. It looks way to spooky for my taste. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Question #9. The saying goes "The book is always better than the movie" but what movie or tv show did you like better than the book?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This one is really easy for me because I strongly disliked The Maze Runner book when I read it but I really like and enjoy the movies! Its a complete 180 from the books. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And that's it! Don't hate me too much for my unpopular opinion! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Until next time, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />"We are all book lovers and the need to share our enthusiasm is sometimes overwhelming. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in the physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If you're anything like me, you are probably hoarding books and even though you are excited about your latest book arrival, it might be a while before you get to review it and Stacking The Shelves is a good way to express your undying enthusiasm for those titles."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So this week I purchased one book and I was sent three. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">First up are the ARCS I received: </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Reading the description for this book it pretty much sounds like Gossip Girl meets Hitchcock so I'm very excited to be able to read this one! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Here's the thing, I don't know ANYTHING about this book and I don't want to. Kiersten White is one of my auto-buy authors, I would read her grocery lists so even though I don't know what it's about I know I'm going to love this book! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The way I understood the synopsis is that this book is basically a giant letter written by a girl, to the boy whose heart she just broke. She tells him the entire story of the summer she lost herself and why she pushed him away. It sounds like the PERFECT summer read and, the cover? It's insanely beautiful! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Now for the book I bought.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I was technically on a no-buy week buuut Audible had a deal where Outlander was only 3.99!!!!! Now I already have the e-book (it was on sale a while ago for like two dollars) but I keep putting off reading it because it's a BEAST! So while 30+ hours of listening may seem just as daunting to most, I would much rather listening to it and be able to read other books in their physical form. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I don't know when I'll start Outlander, I'm currently listening to Shadow and Bone so depending on how it ends I might start Outlander or I might jump right into Siege and Storm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And that's it! Let me know in the comments what books you got this week! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Lorelai Diederich has a plan to get her kingdom back. With the help of her little brother and a loyal friend, she's been training, growing more powerful everyday, getting one step closer everyday to killing the evil queen and reclaiming her rightful throne. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But when Queen Irina creates the perfect huntsman to track down Lorelai and kill her it throws a wrench in her carefully laid out plans. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Suddenly she has Kol to worry about. A new King, a Draconi (DRAGON!!!) forced to make a deal to save his people from a gruesome Ogre attack that will surely wipe out his kingdom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Lorelai will do anything to get her crown back, Kol will do everything to save his people and Irina, she'll kill anyone who gets in her way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">-----------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This was my first C.J Redwine book and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was just on the edge of falling into a reading slump when I picked up this book. I made it about 6% into it and almost gave up and DNF it. Crazy! I know! But I'm so glad I kept reading. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This book is pretty much everything you could wish for in a fantasy 're-telling'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I myself am not a fan of re-tellings because I always feel like you know where the story is going and there aren't any big surprises or plot twists. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But I actually have a hard time calling this a re-telling because it is so unique and a story all it's own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I mean it has magic, dragons, family drama, revenge, did I mention dragons? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Also, and I feel so dumb mentioning this, it has a gyrfalcon. Which up until, well today, I thought was a mythical creature... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thanks FaceBook for correcting me... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Awkward. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Anyway, Lorelai has a special telepathic connection with this (very real) gyrfalcon, Sasha, and honestly, their conversations were my absolute favorite. It added the perfect amount of... Lightness to the book without downplaying the darkness or the danger. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I also adored Lorelai and Kol's slowing burning romance. It definitely wasn't your typical YA love story, what with him trying to murder her, and that's what I really enjoyed about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was refreshing to see a strong, powerful, female character who could stand on her own two feet and didn't go all 'damsel in distress' every time the love interest entered the room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All in all this is one of my favorite books that I've read this year and I'm excited to get my hands on some more of C.J's books and discover some new favorites! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Until next time, </span><br />

What they don't know is that Raisa's father was teacher her to read and write, something forbidden in Qilara unless you are royalty or a tutor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Year later, after the current tutor in training is found to be a traitor Raisa is miraculously named her replacement and spared an unknown punishment for stepping out of place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All of a sudden Raisa is thrust into a position that allows her to not only learn more of the language her father fought so hard to teach her but she now has the ability to help the growing rebellion that is starting to rise all around the kingdom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A spy within the walls, she finds herself getting caught in a game of cat and mouse, slowly but surely helping the rebels carry out their plans for a imminent uprising. But when she suddenly starts falling for the Prince she's not sure whose side she's on anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">-----------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed this book. I was really iffy going into it because I hadn't heard a ton about it but it was a really nice surprise. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It reminded me of a mash up between The Red Queen and An Ember In The Ashes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">What I liked about it was that most of the story was about Raisa learning to read and write this language that has been kept from most people for hundreds of years. It was repetitive, her being taught and trying to remember the different symbols for different words/letters. But it was never boring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sometimes with books where the plot gets a little redundant I'll catch myself skim reading but I didn't do that with Sword and Verse. It was more like I caught myself re-reading sentences over and over again because they were so beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Honestly the only thing I didn't like about this book was the romance between Raisa and the Prince. For some reason he just rubbed me the wrong way. I ended up not hating him in the end of the book but I never fully liked him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Other then that this book was amazing and I would recommend it to (as I mentioned above) fans of An Ember In The Ashes or Red Queen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now I've heard people say this is a standalone, which makes sense because everything was wrapped up nicely in the last chapter but on GoodReads it is marked as #1 in a series so we'll see how that goes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As much as I loved this book I feel like I loved it because it read like a standalone and I almost hope that it stays that way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I'd love to see more from this author, even a story set in this world, but I think these characters story played out perfectly in one book and I don't feel like a second one is needed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If Harper could take back all of the mistakes that she has made in the past year she would do it in a heartbeat. Earning a reputation as the schools slut, getting kicked off the swim team, distancing herself from her family. She'd take it all back. But the thing she regrets most is Declan. Messing up their friendship, destroying their relationship. Turning away from him when he needed her the most. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But now Declan is home from boarding school and he makes it almost impossible to ignore him and the choices that she's made. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Is it too late to move forward or will the past catch up with her before she's ready to confront it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">-----------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">"In the tradition of Sarah Dessen..." That is why I picked up this book... Let's just say I WOULD NOT compare this to Sarah Dessen... At all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This book started off great, it had everything I wanted when I picked it up, (somewhat) unrequited love, family dynamics, new and old friendships, summer! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The middle kept me going, it was fast paced, had witty commentary and even a teeny bit of mystery to it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The ending... The ending was just... Just there! One minute I'm reading and the next I'm sitting there wondering if I missed a chapter (or three). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Spoilers ahead! Turn back now or continue at your own risk! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">*Please keep in mind I did read this as an ARC and the finished copy may be more... complete. If you had read the finished book and know something I don't PLEASE let me know!*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">What the hell? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The loose ends in this book are enough to make me that fringe purse I've been eyeing at Target! (What? The 70's are coming back baby!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">First off Harper's Mom, is she going to die? Be okay? Make a miraculous recovery and climb Everest? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Does Harper even care? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">While I didn't want her mom's cancer to be the focal point of the story it would've been nice if Harper showed a little bit more emotion and concern for her dying mother! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But no, that's too much to ask for!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then there's her "best friend" Sadie. What. A. Little. Bitch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She's always dragging Harper out to party, dumping her the second she finds a guy to hook up with and then by the time she's ready to leave she's too drunk to drive. On top of all that she doesn't give an eff about Harper's mom or the fact that she should be home spending time with her family. Nope she just wants a ride somewhere and then she's gone, off doing god knows what. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But is there a wrap up? A light bulb turning on over Harper's head leading up to the last chapter? A moment when Harp realizes that a toxic friendship is the last thing she needs in her life right now? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Nope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Because she's too focused on Declan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The ENTIRE book revolved around 'will they, won't they'. Will they talk? Will they get back together? Does he still love her? Can he forgive her? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was like Ross and Rachel times ten minus the actual romance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I'm all for romance but deal lord... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">To top it all off, I hated Harper as a character... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In the beginning it wasn't that big of a deal but as the book went on and she continued to make 'mistake' after 'mistake' (silly me I tend to call those patterns or choices if you tend to do it OVER AND OVER AGAIN) and never learned from them... I got so frustrated! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You ruined your reputation by making out with someone else's boyfriend so instead lets hook up in the back of a car with a guy you barley know. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You got too wasted to see right from wrong so lets do a shot! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You couldn't drive yourself home from the party last night because you drank too much and your friend had to come and get you but let's go out tonight and do it all over again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You're probably wondering why in the hell I gave this book 3 stars when I obviously didn't like it I'll just clarify. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It wasn't awful. While I didn't like some of the characters (surprisingly the side ones weren't that bad) or the plot (if you can call it that) I really did enjoy the writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In fact if the ending hadn't of had all those loose ends I probably would've given it 4 stars. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Emily Martin is a debut author and I'll actually be on the lookout to see what she has coming out next. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Let me know if you read this one and how you felt about it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And if you're reading this part... Thank you for sticking around and reading that revi- rant. You deserve a gold star!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Until next time, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hey guys! So I thought I'd do something a little different today and do a book tag! I've seen this one quite a bit on youtube, I'm almost positive the creator is Emma from Emmmabooks but don't quote me on that! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I love reading Emily Giffin books but I hate finishing them. The endings always irritate me and I end up disliking the book. I feel like most of her characters end up with the wrong people and if I could just stop maybe three chapters before the ending I'd like the book better... Sooo every Emily Giffin book.. Ever? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />"We are all book lovers and the need to share our enthusiasm is sometimes overwhelming. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in the physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If you're anything like me, you are probably hoarding books and even though you are excited about your latest book arrival, it might be a while before you get to review it and Stacking The Shelves is a good way to express your undying enthusiasm for those titles."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This one is hard to summarize and I feel like it's going to be a hard book to review, but from what I can tell it's about a girl who loses her mother and joins a support group for teens. Then her, and others in the group start seeing their loved ones (who have passed) in random places. Then a member of the group disappears prompting a search? I'm doing an awful job describing this but it sounds amazing and you should go look it up! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The summery on this book is SO SHORT! I almost didn't request it because I honestly have no idea what its about. The only thing it gave me was something along the lines of "A girl trapped on a island but find shelter, food and a water supply with the help of the only other crash surivor." I don't know where this book is set or when but I'm such a sucker for a survival story that I had to get it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It comes out September 13th </span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now as I write this I haven't read it yet, I have about 50 pages left in my re-read of Red Queen but I'm SO excited to jump into this and re-entering Victoria's world of Reds and Silvers is just making the anticipation that much bigger! Since it's a sequel there's not a synopsis but if you haven't read Red Queen yet... What are you waiting for? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And last book that I purchased is a book from Audible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Audible had a sale this past week where most of their series starters were 4.95! So I jumped at the change to grab The Queen of The Tearling! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All I know about this book is that it's about a young princess who has to reclaim her throne. That and the movie adaptation of this is starring... Emma Watson! SO of course I needed it in my life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And that's it! Let me know if you've heard of any of these and I'll talk to you soon! </span><br />

Or how she ended up in a shallow grave a couple of blocks from her house, in the backyard of a house that's for sale. She doesn't know why she's waking up after a year of being 'dead'. She doesn't know why the man who dug her up is now laying dead next to her. She doesn't know why she has to remind her heart to beat. She doesn't know how she can pick murderers out a crowd. And she doesn't know why her touch kills them. But while she searches for answers she realizes she isn't the only one with supernatural abilities and that there are people out there whose soul purpose in life is to hunt people like her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">------------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I have such mixed feeling about this book. When it first started I was hooked. I hadn't read anything about this so I went in blind, and the first couple of chapters were amazing. But then it took a weird turn and left me a little disoriented. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I loved the idea behind Breezy's story. She was murdered and now she hunts murderers. It reminded me of a much, much darker version of Kimberly Dertings "Body Finder" series. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But when it turned into 'crazy cult hunting monsters' it lost me. It almost felt like two different books with two different plots mashed up together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I would've liked it so much more if it had stayed on the same track as the first couple chapters. But from the second she entered the 'church' I kept having to force myself to finish it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It went from what I thought was a book about murder and justice to this weird occult train wreck. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Personally (if you couldn't tell already) this wasn't a book for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I'd be interested to see what else the author has coming out but I wouldn't recommend this book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Until next time, </span><br />

But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;">Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;">When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together, they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first, as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and later, when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; text-align: start;">But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands. . . .</span></span><br />

Tired of pining away over someone who barley acknowledges her existence she decides to take measures into her own hands. And the hands of romance writers everywhere. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Using her favorite literary couples as inspiration she devises a plan to not only get Liam to notice her but to fall madly in love with her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But as every romance reader knows, things don't always go as planned when it comes to matters of the heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">---------------------------------</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This was my first Rachel Hollis book, and let me tell you, I was NOT prepared for the hysterical fits of laughter that accompany her writing/story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I don't even think I was 4 chapters in before I found myself clutching my stomach and wiping away giant tears rolling down my face, all while trying not to pee my pants. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Trust me. It was THAT funny! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Here's where my review gets a little... Awkward I guess? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">While I adored her writing, most of her characters and ALL of her Gilmore Girl-esque pop culture references, I didn't like Liam or Miko's relationship with Liam. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Crazy I know! Loving a book but hating the main 'couple'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I'd be interested to go back and read the first two books in this series (they are all 'companion novels') and see how I feel about the previous couples mentioned but for me this one just didn't sit right with me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Even in the end I still felt like Liam was a jerk and that Miko deserved someone better than a player who can't settle down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Maybe it was just me.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All in all I HIGHLY recommend Rachel Hollis' writing but I probably wouldn't start with this book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">1. Slammed: I've only ever come across one Colleen Hoover book that I didn't like and this was not it!

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">4. The Year We Fall Apart: This book was a hard one for me to rate, I'll go into why in my review (to come) but I just felt like it was missing too much for me to rate it 5 Stars/Snow Flakes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">6. Flat Out Celeste: This is the third book I listened to this month and while it wasn't quite as good as the first book in the series, "Flat Out Love", I really liked seeing things from Celeste's point of view and I loved how it wrapped up everything for all the characters. I haven't read the "Flat Out Matt" yet which is book 1.5 in the series but its on my list. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">1. Shallow Graves: This was one of my most anticipated books of the month and it just fell short for me.

Its been on my TBR since before it was released and I was so excited to read it. Sadly I ended up almost hating this book, along with the characters. I couldn't relate to the MC and the story just dragged on and on. Honestly this one should've been rated 2 Stars and I don't know why I gave it 3 on Goodreads... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">4. Other Broken Things: I'm all for a rebellious teen with an attitude problem but oh. My. God. I hated this MC. I usually make myself read 30% before I DNF but I don't even think I made it past 15% with this book. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">5. A Madness So Discreet: A little back story on this book. I actually met Mindy McGinnis at an event before she ever started writing this book. I overheard her talking about an idea she had for her next book and I was hooked. I immediately inserted myself into the conversation to get the tentative title and possible release date. A year or two later I finally saw it on EW and I was SO EXCITED. Sadly I just couldn't get into it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So there's my January Wrap Up! I feel like I had a really good reading month! I think what helped me read SO MUCH and what kept me from falling into a slump is DNF when I felt like it and not forcing myself to push through. Last year I fell into a MONTH LONG slump and it was awful so I'm trying to not let that happen again. </span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Thanks to a rare phenomenon called 'synesthesia' Nikki can see things that other people can't. Her senses are overlapped in a way that allows her to see emotions, numbers and letters as colors. </span></i></b></div>
