Review
This book was really enjoyable. I hope that lifetime makes it into a movie someday. So, the book is told in the prospective of Cassie, a woman who is unsure of herself. That’s because her best friend Ronnie spends all of her time cutting Cassie down. In addition to being negative, Ronnie loves being the center of attention and talks a mile a minute. In truth, at times I found myself laughing out loud. Other characters’ reaction to Ronnie was just that amusing.
The two English women find themselves taking a gape year in Australia. While Cassie is hard working, Ronnie is lazy and spends most of her time doing her nails. Cassie’s best friend unfortunately has no common sense, and doesn’t think before she acts. That quality forces Cassie to protect her. Don’t worry, Cassie does meet a hot guy named Brock. He’s supportive and builds Cassie up. He also doesn’t hide his disdain for Ronnie. Cassie and Brock have magical chemistry and Ronny obviously get’s jealous of that fact. But don’t you worry, Brock and Cassie have plenty of alone time. The author does a wonderful time displaying both healthy and unhealthy relationships. And I love when Ronnie’s motives are finally revealed.
If you enjoy a heart felt romance with a kind hearted woman and the supportive guy that loves her, this is the book for you!

Review
This book series is so addicting that I couldn’t put it down! Where do I start? The story begins with Sam, a seventeen-year-old senior in high school who thinks that she has everything figured out. She has been dating Antonio, who is someone that she has been friends with for a while. He’s the kind of guy that every girl goes crazy for. Then, she meets AJ, a hunk who plays basketball. She’s drawn to him but doesn’t know how to handle her feelings. Sam’s choices often times are brow raising, but she does provide a somewhat logical reason for them. Sam, AJ, and Antonio practically jump off the page. Though I have to say that the author has a talent for character development. Everyone has good aspects and some traits that are undesirable. Some characters are evil in nature, while others have a moral compass.
I don’t want to give too much away, so I’m going to be as vague as possible. This book series does follow Sam and AJ into adult hood. Sam will be betrayed, suffer horrible tragedies, and will form both good and bad friendships. There is a triggering scene in book two. That particular scene does contain graphic violence. The author does describe the love scenes beginning in book two. The book series also has an eventual happy ending.
If you enjoy a book series that is filled with passion, laughter, heart break, and lasting love, this is the series for you!
Ava Swan’s life had always been simple – until she fell in love. Big love. Epic love. Epic sex… Love; a common, yet utterly complicated emotion that
brought her a happiness that she never thought possible – until it ripped her world apart.

and that of the baby that she keeps hidden from her past.
New love arrives and Ava believes that she has truly moved on. Only, the past always has a way of catching up with you.
When Mark returns to Ava’s life, so to do the feelings that she buried deep inside, and when the new love she found, and the new life she created, is revealed
to have been built on lies; danger follows, along with a whole new level of pain and despair.
It’s enough to break you, but sometimes it can make you – and all of this, because of Hattie.
Review
This novel may be fiction, but it reads like a captivating memoir that is jammed packed with emotions. I know you’re thinking, who is Haddie? Simply put, she is a toxic best friend in sheep’s clothing. She is the kind of person that sneakily sucks the joy out of her friends lives. Ava is kind but too loyal in the beginning. She is sent running from the love of her life because Haddie and her accomplices manage to take everything from her. She has her baby Jacob in secret, and builds a relationship with someone else. I won’t tell you the outcome, but I’ll just say that the author has a talent for character development. Ava starts of as a kind person with little backbone and turns into a strong woman who knows how to take care of herself. Though, most of the story is told from Ava’s point of view, the author does include the point of view of a few of the supporting characters. I promise, there is steam, passion, heart break, loss, friendship, supportive family, and so much more in this novel. If you enjoy a romance that is filled with drama, love, and the highs and lows of a mother trying to put her heart back together, this is the book for you!
This is a compilation of short rants from a foul mouthed mom with some little words of wisdom!
In this one you can find such wonderful shit as:
Germs, Germs, More Germs?
Tantrums Galore?
Do Ends Meet?
P.TAhhhh Fuck That?
Date Night WTF Is That?
As I rant away the not normally spoken words of everyday life raising kids with a ton of f-bombs. This will let you know you’re not the only parent who
feels they have failed some days.
This is just how I feel about raising children! No judgement! We aren’t perfect! Nobody is!
Raising kids isn’t easy, especially now a days, there are so many expectations not just from society, but most of all ourselves!
In my opinion if they are still alive, fed, clothed and roof over them, you’re doing just fine!
Keep at it! One day at a time!
Review
I’m totally blown away by the frank writing in this book! Nonfiction isn’t usually my cup of tea. But the synopsis made me curious. And let me just say, that the author loves using the word f*ck and other four-letter words. And her seven children, which she refers to as the seven dwarfs, have taught this loving mom a lot of lessons. My favorite involves a child gluing the drawers shut with dried toothpaste. I don’t want to spoil too much of the book, but I will say that it gives you an uncensored point of view of a working mother. I want to take this time out to thank my mother for putting up with all of the crap that I put her through as a toddler. I don’t have children yet, but this read makes me wish I did. Yes, kids are a pain sometimes, and they do require a lot of work. But the love that parents have for their children is amazing! The author’s love for her children is felt in every word. This book is a compilation of the rants of a mother who managed to get an education while being a dedicated mother. I recommend this read for anyone that wants an honest view point of motherhood.
A girl at night, a caged monster during the day. Aislinn has lived in darkness as long as she can remember. She is Korrigan— and only by Life-Stealing can she keep her human shape from dawn to dusk. When she finally steps into the sunlight, the first person she sees is Zane. He’s everything she wants— handsome, sweet, and normal. But an encounter with the Far Darrig, the malevolent trickster of Old Irish myth, changes Aislinn’s future. He opens a new realm of possibilities that are anything but normal— and with them, brings dreams and desires as dangerous as he is. Above all, Aislinn craves choice— the right to decide her own path. But what if gaining power for herself means giving up something much more precious?
Review
Wow! I finished this book in one day. I am hooked and can’t wait to read the next book in this series. So this young adult book focuses on Aislinn, who is a 17-year-old girl who lives with five shady, uncaring guardians. All of the Korrigan are cursed, forced to pay a price, in order to go out in the day. I won’t spoil that part, since that will ruin some of the book. But let me just say, the curse on the Korrigan is truly horrible. So, once Aislinn is able to walk around in the day, she meets Zane, a handsome guy who is sweet, kind, and good. Of course her guardians aren’t thrilled with her making friends with humans. In fact, most of the women that Aislinn lives with, treats her like she is a bother. She is often times controlled and ridiculed. Aislinn also has nasty nightmares and is being harassed by the fae. When you find out the real reason why Aislinn and her guardians were cursed, you’ll be shocked. There is sort of a confusing love triangle that goes on. I like how it’s resolved in the first book. Aislinn also has to decide if she will walk down the path of good or evil. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys an all-consuming paranormal romance about the fae.
It’s been at least a decade since words like “outbreak” turned to “epidemic.” The suburban population has retreated to apartment complexes, where they created miniature societies. Garrett, Erik, and Jenna try to survive this world any way they can.
Will Garrett get stuck in the fear of the unknown like everyone else? Can Erik keep his world from crumbling? And, how much more can the epidemic and new world take from Jenna?
Review
Damn! Who knew that a book about zombies could actually connect with me emotionally? I had no idea how attached I would become to certain characters when I first began reading. I actually teared up a little during one part of the book. I’ve got to hand it to the author, this read was anything but predictable. This book is the first in a series. The narrative switches between the prospective of a couple, Erik and Jenna, and Garrett, a teenager that the couple looks out for. Jenna and Eric have knowledge of what life was like before the world was infected, but Garett, who’s younger, has little memory of a pre-zombie period. Jenna is an artist who paints designated areas of the compound. Eric has a dangerous job that Garrett covets. You know how teenagers are. They are always longing to grow up, even when they aren’t ready. Some parts of this book get’s kind of philosophical, which is how the title comes into play. I won’t spoil any more of this read. But I promise there is a council, like there is in every great dystopian novel. Of course the leaders make a bunch of decisions that I most definitely don’t agree with.
I would recommend this read to anyone who loves dystopian novels that focus on the emotional impact an outbreak can have on a society.
Unlike most kids, teenage Katie Parker never got a fair shot at a normal life. With a mother in jail and a missing-in-action dad, she’s never known what it’s like to truly be loved. Low on options and family members, she’s soon shipped off to a foster home. Now in an unfamiliar town, Katie’s rebellious attitude is at odds with her new family, school, and classmates. And after falling in with all the wrong people at school, things go from bad to really bad after she takes the blame for vandalizing the local performing arts theater.
But in the midst of a dark situation, Katie finds light in the most unexpected places: through her new friendship with an eccentric senior, the commitment of her foster family, and a tragic secret that changed them forever. And as she inches closer to acceptance and forgiveness, she finds that God has been there all along.
Review
Dear Lifetime,
Can you please make this into a movie? It has all of the things that all of us sappy television viewers love, a lost foster kid, kind foster parents, an eccentric senior citizen, bullies, the nerdy best friend, and the sort of love interest. In all seriousness, this book is amazing! It isn’t overly preachy. In fact, Katie struggles with the idea of God through the entire novel. Katie is winy, but humorous. She makes a lot of bad decisions, and that’s okay.
I think that the drawback is that there isn’t more romance. I don’t want to spoil the rest of the series for you. But I will say that Katie does eventually fall in love. I just wished that it happened in this book because I’m a hopeless romantic. I loved seeing Katie find her way and enjoyed all of the comedy that was provided.
