Man I have been reading so many good books lately. So glad I learned about Colleen Hoover! It Ends With Us destroyed my emotions. Like.... it was awful but so good. I hated it, but I loved it. UGHHH!! Can't wait for more from her. 
I think I'll start reviewing books again soon and try to do it as if I were telling it to a friend. Explaining why they should or shouldn't read it instead of just a blah blah review. May throw in gifs. :)

Anyways... I hope you have a good week. So glad I'm off of work tomorrow, unfortunately, I have a dentist appt! #life.

I'm trying to read a "soul inspired book" whilst reading a regular fiction to switch back and forth.

Let me know what you think of any of these books if you've read them!
Also, a review for Fangirl will be up soon.

All the love. 
Enjoy the word. . .

Currently Reading:
» Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

» The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod [☆]

Up Next:
» Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
» To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
» Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff


Thoroughly enjoying Fangirl. It seems like it'll be just the book I need to pick up my reading streak. Get Real is on my kindle and will be my "between" and "treadmill" book. When I have time at work, at lunch, in the car, etc I'll read this one. Also while I'm on the treadmill, walking... I like to read on my phone or kindle. I'll be reading Get Real.

I didn't completely finish Uprooted, but I got very close. I just know that it was starting to go downhill fast. There wasn't enough of the "Dragon" and too much...too. I don't really know.

Anyways. . . hope you're enjoying whatever it is you're reading! Let me know your views on any of these books. ♥

I'm really enjoying both The Miracle Morning and Uprooted. I'm glad they're on my Kindle, because I have a feeling it make take awhile to finish both.
If you've read any of these, let me know what you thought, please!

And am I the only one who thinks of Audrey Hepburn when I see that cover of Finding Audrey?

Enjoy the word.

A co-worker gave me a bag full of books to read.... I may be putting my Kindle aside soon and just reading those!!
I am loving Octavian's Undoing it's different than anything I've read recently (reminiscent of past reads, however). It's in third person, which usually throws me off.
What are you reading!?!?

» The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith


After I finish Tortured, I have to read any other genre EXCEPT new adult. My brain is going to implode if I read another book with the same base story line, just spun a different way.
So I'll go back to young adult for awhile and then any other genre that I have previously enjoyed. Seriously... I feel like the stories are all starting to blur together!!!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Jazzy July & A Giveaway!

Good morning! And happy July! I love when the first day of a new month falls on a Monday. I have no idea why. :)
This week is a busy one, as I'll be packing to move, cleaning and introducing a feature this month called Jazzy July, where I'll [try to] post every single day--sometimes multiple times--and at the end of the month have two separate giveaways! Whoo! But I kind of ask for ONE* thing; you guys get me to 200 followers by August 15th! Why that day?.... I just like it. ^_^"  Even if I don't make it to 200, I'll have one giveaway starting July 29th. I'll have a form for you to fill out then and it will run for two weeks.
Spread the word and let them know about the giveaway [facebook, your blog, twitter, instagram, keek, vine, whatever you use]. What will you be winning? Either a $10 iTunes e-giftcard or $10 on Book Depository. I may also throw in some books off of my own book shelf I need to get rid of. One [1] person will win one of the prizes for a total of two [2] winners. (There may be more if I choose to give away books of my own in this giveaway!)

Now... on to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? A weekly post hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World of Books.

I have been in a weird reading slump where it's very rare  for a book to grab my attention and make me want to read, so these are what I've completed, am currently reading and hope to read soon!

Recently Finished:

  1. Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt - 4/5 stars
  2. The Keep by Veronica Wolff - [5/5 stars review

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Good morning!! How was your weekend? Mine, though uneventful was nice and relaxing. Which is very rare for me. I bought a new mascara, pens and a couple notebooks. As well as a new book. Right now, I'm just watching the Tattoo Masters marathon and contemplating what's for dinner.

All right, on to today's first post! It's Monday! What Are You Reading? which is hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World of Books.

Recently Finished:
  1. Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols - 3/5 stars (review here)
  2. Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst - DNF (review to come)
  3. The Secret of Ella & Micha - 4/5 stars (review to come)

Currently Reading:
  1. Until I Die by Amy Plum - I read and enjoyed the first book early last year. I'm kind of in a mood for paranormal or supernatural, so I decided on this one. I have had a slight momentum going this year towards my goal of 50 books by the end of the year. Yay!


Up Next:
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm leaning towards The Coincidence of Callie & Cayden. I've been in a contemporary mood and I think it will definitely be next! I may end up reading this before Until I Die however. We'll see for sure, later on.

  2. On Dublin Street by Samantha Young - 3/5 stars, review here
  3. Easy by Tammara Webber - 4/5 stars, review to come


Currently Reading:
  1. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I'm hoping this book is as good as people say it is. I've been seeing tons of quotes straight from the book all over tumblr. So I figured it's high time I read it. I've read Paper Towns by John Green and loved it. I'm enjoying it so far, but we'll see as I get more into it!


Up Next:
I don't know! Suggest something! :) I have a very very full Kindle and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer should be coming to me soon.... I have a few books on hold at the library that I'm waiting on. I have plenty to read, it's just a matter of deciding what to read!!! ^_^"
Have a happy Monday, a great week and as always, happy reading!

Sam Cruz's Infallible Guide to Getting Girls by Tellulah Darling
{4½/5 stars - Review to come}
Why the hell can’t chicks be more like guys?
That question plagues high school senior Sam Cruz. Sam is perfectly happy being a player. He just wishes girls wouldn’t change the game from sex to relationships. It makes him look like an asshole. But when Sam’s best friend, Ally Klinger, gets dumped, she begs him to transform her into someone who can screw around then screw off. No risk of heartbreak that way. It’s Sam’s chance to create the perfect female AND cheer up his best friend. Armed with Sam’s Three Step Guide to Backseat Success, Ally gets the game better than Sam thought she would and before long, Sam has his wish: the female version of himself. Too bad it’s driving him nuts. Told from Sam’s and Ally's alternating POVs, Sam Cruz’s Infallible Guide to Getting Girls is a fast-paced romantic comedy that follows these teens as they navigate the minefield of sex, love, and friendship.
This book contains strong language, drinking, euphemisms, and lots of “bow chicka wow wow.”

Recently Finished:
  1. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry - 5/5 stars, review here
  2. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick - 3/5 stars, review here
  3. Forever Mine by Elizabeth Reyes - 4/5 stars, review to come 

Currently Reading:
1. What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen - I've been searching for a really good, pull you in contemporary without too much weight or fluff. And though I love Sarah Dessen, I feel like this may not be it. I'm still looking for something like Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling series. Probably the first contemporary book(s) I read that I absolutely fell in love with! And it's been years!

Up Next (hopefully):
  1. Reaper by K.D. McEntire - Review for GoodChoiceReading.com
  2. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
  3. Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett
  4. Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You by Joyce Carol Oates - review for GoodChoiceReading.com
Agh. My family and I have been in the process of moving and it has been quite hectic. I've been slacking on reading, exercising, life, and obviously this blog. It'll be a few weeks before we have internet (eek), so I'm hoping to schedule a few things and just post when I can! I can't wait to get settled and feel at home(?). I just realized a lot of the books I have are coming up at the end of August, so I need to read those asap! (And Kpop, SongPop [itsShanisej, play me!], and possibly being engrossed in those Asian dramas , have taken over, again.)
Anyways, have a great Monday & happy reading! ^_^"
