Peter: A Darkened Fairytale by William O'Brien

Oh my word! I don't like giving a bad review on too many things. But with this book I so have to be honest. This is the longest short story I have ever read. In the amount it took me to read 44 pages I have read 3 other books and more than half way done with my second. The author is unable to contact with his read and hook them into the story. The story has jump from place to place quickly and as I am reading I just can't keep up with what is going on nor can I stay focus to even read what is going on. I am sorry to say but I have to give this book zero stars. With the lack of catching the readers attention and the lack of smooth writing to understand what the writer is trying to depict to the read. I just can't give this book any stars or a good review.

Church Gurlz' Series - Book 1 (Mother's Black Book) by H.H. Fowler

4 out of 5 Stars! Oh my word I don't know when the last time I read a book in a day. H.H. Fowler did an amazing job of grabbing the reader's attention and keep the reading actively involved with the story up until the end! However, not very happy with the end. A cliffhanger. I was reading about what Tara found and the info she feel upon and then turned the page. Like oh Crap there was no next page it was the end of the book. Besides that, I am totally excited to get the second and third book!

Inner Moonlight by Carrigan Fox

I my word I feel in love with a love story. It was not your typical love story plot, and I think that is one thing that made me love it even more. The writer did a great job in the writing style for the reader to read and enjoy the story! The only part I would suggested was either add the partners into the story a little more or just completely take them out of the story. But other than that, I have e joyed my first romantic love story!

Okay so now I understand why movies and books tend to end with a happy ever after or the guy gets the girl or the girl gets what she was always looking for. It is because it gives an end to the book. If one does not end a book with some type of closure then you will end up leaving your audience with the feeling of incomplete or unsatisfied. And an author don't want that, or at least I don't think they would.

Where We Belong by Emily Giffin

4 out of 5 stars I don't know how Emily Giffin does it! But each and every time I read one of her books I just can't it down the moment that I start to read her books. It only took about 3 days to read Where We Belong. I could had been done within in a day but working full time and being a mother full time time is limited for me. But to be a little sleep deprived is so worth it for a book like this. I told a friend of mine that I lost my happy and that I am in search of looking to find my happy again. So she suggested that I read Where We Belong by Emily Giffin. Even though it is a fiction book. No the book did not give me my happy but it did help me to think and process some personal issues. I never had a chance to work them out with my mother before passing away. However, reading about Kriby and her birth mother Marian and how they came to met and why the adoption was done in the first made me think about my mother. We are who we are at the moment, but as we grow older and with life experience we learn and change. Thank you Emily Giffin for writing yet a GREAT book!

The joys of reading a book! I love to read books that draw me into the story and I start to feel like I am the character. On days that I feel like I need me a pick me up, I will pick out a book of action and/or drama. When I feel lonely, a love story/romantic novel is a great turn to. But when I feel far fetch and in between, well any book with adventure is just wonderful for that day of reading! Thank you writers for your writing and dedication to us readers!

September 10, 2013

I fell in love with books around my JR year in high school. At that time I only read Murder Mysteries. I love the thriller and suspense that came with them. Not only that, on the first page you were hook and just couldn't stop reading. However, a couple years ago my public library had a summer reading program which required for us to read different genre. Which open a whole new world to me. I was amazed on how much I enjoyed all the different genres. When it comes to reading books, the part I love the most is when I get hook right away! I just can't put the book down, I just have to find out what is going to happen next. And before I know it I am done with the book, and I loved it! However, then there are those books that I push myself to read up until the middle or even the end. For example, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It took me most of the book to push myself to keep reading until I got into the book and figure out the point of the story. I pushed myself with reading this book, mostly because it was a partner reading choice book. But I do admit the writing style in which the author choose to use was a good choice for such a book. But it is a bothersome for me, because it takes me so much longer to finish the book and move on to my next read. Over all however, I respect all writers. Regardless on how I feel about their book. The work and dedication they put in their stories is of great passion and brings great joy and comforts to their readers! To each their own!

Matilda's Freedom (ebook) by Téa Cooper

3 out of 5 stars I have learned to love a good love story here and there. The writing of this book from Tea Cooper is a smooth reading. At the beginning of the book it was slow and hard to get into. But once I reach about the middle of the book, I just could not put the book down. The whole plot of the story was very cute. However, the only thing I wish the author expanded on was the change of mind of Kit's mother. What made her change? Over all I would suggest this book to any and everyone who enjoys a simple love story!

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

3 out of 5 stars OK book to read. well written and great transition between each part of eat pray love. p.s. hate the movie.

Birdman (Jack Caffery #1) by Mo Hayder

1 out of 5 stars I don't like the fact that I know who the murder is in the middle of the book. takes the suspense away from the story. plus to many distraction from the main plot of the story.

Split Ends: Sometimes the End Is Really the Beginning by Kristin Billerbeck

3 out of 5 stars the read was an easy pace read. however, I wish the story's plot had more to do with the salon then her personal life.

Beautiful Disaster (Privilege #2) by Kate Brian

2 out of 5 stars I gave the book two stars because the ending was when the story became something worth reading. The book is an easy read however, the book don't catch the reader until the end. Very unhappy with the book.

The Girl Who Fell from the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow

3 out of 5 stars The meaning behind the story is great. But the writing of the story was poorly writen. If you read this book, think of the lesson you learn and the eye opener it gives you. And over look the way the book is written.

The Rainbow: A Fairy Tale by Stephan Attia

2 out of 5 stars The theme of "The Rainbow: A Fairy Tale" has great potential. I love what the book is trying to accomplish and the lesson one can gain from reading this book. However, the book was way to long. Too much detail that was given that could have been omitted from the book which would make the book a great read for both children and adults. If you enjoy extra details and love wonderful learning lessons, this is a great book for you!

Something Borrowed (Darcy & Rachel #1) by Emily Giffin

3 out of 5 stars enjoy the reading the book. however it was a fast read, then the story slows down, then speeds up, slows down. like a rollercoster. but I did enjoy the ending

Something Blue (Darcy & Rachel #2) by Emily Giffin

3 out of 5 stars

For Love of Livvy (Esposito Mysteries #1) by J.M. Griffin

3 out of 5 stars the book is well writen. it takes a little bit of time to grab the attention of the reader. but once it gains your attention it keeps you wanting to keep reading until the end.

Sebastian Falls by Celeste Holloway

3 out of 5 stars The beginning of the book was a hard read. It took till about 70 pages of reading to get into the book. However, once I finally was grabbed into the book I just could not put the book down. I enjoy the fact that the author use religion as the main focus on the book but did not make the book seem like it was a religious book. The only thing that I felt would benefit this book is it starting off with the parents and the accident in which killed them and then go into Meadows present time.

Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

4 out 5 stars Such a touching story from beginning to end. once I started to read the book, I didn't want to put the book down until I was done reading!

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins

4 out of 5 really good read and a hard book to put down. really like the fact that the pace of the book fit the point of the GameMakers perspective. when the story started to slow down a twist was thrown in to liven the story back up again.

Calm, Cool, and Adjusted (Spa Girls #3) by Kristin Billerbeck

4 out of 5 stars really enjoy Kristin Billerbeck's book. just wish I didn't have to wait until the end to get really good.

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family (Dave Pelzer #2) by Dave Pelzer

4 out of 5 stars I like the second book. keeps you want to keep reading and don't leave you hanging with questions. it don't answer all the questions I have from book one. but I understand I should have the answered in the third book

Corpse on the Cob (An Odelia Grey Mystery #5) by Sue Ann Jaffarian

4 out of 5 stars I love the fact that the main character is a heavy set woman and her husband is paraplegic. Most stories have the main character good looking or slim and sexy. The book was a great read and the plot of the story had a great pace to keep the reader reading. four stars!

She's Out of Control: An Ashley Stockingdale Novel (Ashley Stockingdale #2) by Kristin Billerbeck

4 out of 5 stars I so enjoy reading books by Kristin Billerbeck. Sad to say though. After reading this book I broke up with my boyfriend of nine months. He reminds me of Seth. Book was a great read from beginning to end!

Forgotten: Seventeen and Homeless (Secrets #1) by Melody Carlson

4 out of 5 stars I enjoyed reading the book. at the beginning other was a tab bit slow. but right before you get to the middle the boolean grabs you, and you can feel for Adele. Really enjoyed how the book end with a spiritual twist.

Rescued From The Dark by Lynda Kaye Frazier

4 out of 5 stars What a book! Hook me from the first page! The writing was very well written and a smooth read. The book holds the readers attention from the beginning all the way to the end! Twist and turns all through the book to keep the reader turning the pages until the end.

UnEnchanted (An Unfortunate Fairy Tale #1) by Chanda Hahn

5 out of 5 Stars In the beginning of the book it took a little of getting into. But once I got into the book I just kept reading and reading. The only disappointment is I didn't have book tow to keep on reading. Next step for me is to get book one and two. This first book is free on Amazon but book two and three you will need to buy. But based on the first book, I don't think you will be disappointed!

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

5 out of 5 Stars I cried, I laughed, and I understood! this was an amazing book! the hurt I had for one child and the love I gain from another! and the wonder I gain from the parents.

Covet by Tracey Garvis-Graves

5 out 5 Stars! This is a book that there is someone for everyone to relate with. The writing style is a great and an easy pace. Once I picked up this book I was so unable to put down. With each page of the book I was hooked and was never able to just put it down, I had to force myself to put the book down to go to sleep. I cried some and I laugh some. The book is enjoyable to beginning to end!

A Taylor-Made Life by Kary Rader

5 out of 5 stars! I don't normally give out 5 stars, because nothing is perfect. This book has touch me in so many different ways. With the loss of my brother recently of stage 4 colon cancer, gave me a strong connection with the book. So I just couldn't give this book anything less than 5 stars. You cry a lot, you smile, and you feel great joy an peace reading this book. The author does a great job of grabbing your attention right at the beginning of the book and never let go. I fell in love with this book and would read it again and again!

Little Wing: Who am I? Where am I? What am I? by Jake Taylor

5 out 5 Stars! Oh my word, my children of the age of 8 & 9 loved this book! The read was easy for them to listen and follow along. The plot was fun, enjoyable, exciting all at the same time. And the lesson from the story was a great lesson to learn and grow with. My children feels that this should be a book that all teachers will one day read to their classes and children all around would also enjoy to read their self.
