Beautiful Disaster Book Review

Beautiful Disaster Book Review

By: Jamie McGuire

Goodreads Review
Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

My Thoughts 

ooooo *sigh* what can I say about this book except that its reeeeally good, HIGHLY addictive and utterly captivating. You literally feel compelled to keep turning the pages. You just can't stop. No joke!

Abby and Travis meet in college. He's a tough, charming, insanely hot, tattooed badboy who also is a womanizing A student who fights in a ring at night and once he meets Abby, he's just captivated by her. Abby is a good girl, no drinking, no swearing, pretty much just his complete opposite. Despite their differences, they are somehow drawn to each other other.

“I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.”

He makes a deal with her where if he can remain abstinent for a month, she has to live with him for a month. They become friends before they become lovers but its clear that they are meant to be together. Travis thinks to highly of Abby to initially be with her. He doesn't feel worthy of her. And in the book, we get to watch that change as it becomes more and more impossible for them to not be together.

Its weird, there were a lot of things in this story that normally bother me a little, but for whatever reason, I just loved it here. I couldn't get enough of this book!





Now WARNING!! This book was the first book i ever read that had a significant amount of cursing! I was THIS close to putting it down!! But the book was so good i didn't and at times i felt bad for not dropping it but in the end i was worth all the suffering.

I fell in love with how fiercely protective Travis was of Abby. He may have gone overboard a few times but it made me totally swoon! This is a book after all, and in books we accept things that may not work in real life but that, in a story context, just make your heart race!

“You can’t tell me what to do anymore, Travis! I don’t belong to you!”
In the second it took him to turn and face me, his expression had contorted into anger. He stomped toward me, planting his hands on the bed and leaning into my face.
“WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you.”

I loved Travis' character. He was flawed, oh so flawed, but his heart was in the right place. I love a guy who is sure of who he loves, not afraid to defend them, and will try as hard as he can to prove himself.

This book is fast paced and action packed. There are no slow or dull points. (No Joke) The writing is smooth and sucks you right into the story - puts you right there with the characters. It is heart racing and heart breaking.

“-It’s over. Go home.
-You’re my home.”

I loved watching the journey that the characters went through - watching Travis change and become a better person, watching Abby come to terms with her past and watching the two of them fall head over heals in love.

I'm unfortunately writing this review months after I originally read the book but all I know is that this book is sitting on my favs shelf and will definitely be re-read at some point.

I'd definitely call this a MUST read for any fan of badboy romances.

5 STARS!!

Up Dates Coming Soon!!!!!

But anyways this is the book!!  Isn't the cover BEAUTIFUL!! :O <3<3




Ok well i can't be on long I gotta get ready for work..

The 5th Wave Book Review

The 5th Wave Book Review

by Rick Yancey

Goodreads Review

The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.

 After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

My Thoughts

Aliens are coming and everyone knows it. They've been hanging out in orbit for a week or so now, observing Earth. Waiting. Watching. And they like what they see. They like it a lot. Except here's the thing: they don't really do sharing, so nothing against us humanoids, but we've gotta go.

Earth's eviction notice comes in five waves:

Wave #1: Say buh-bye to electricity.
Wave #2: Hope you live above sea-level.
Wave #3: You thought lil' ol' bird-flu was scary? That's cute.
Wave #4: Shhh...what you can't see might kill you.

By the fourth wave, 95% of the human population is dead and those who remain aren't even sure who the real enemy is--or what they look like. The fifth wave is coming, battle lines have been drawn and Earth's greatest weapon is up for grabs: humanity itself.

The 5th Wave is a taut, psychological sci-fi thriller that is destined to be a huge hit and deservedly so. The suspense is well-crafted and the characters' voices, particularly Cassie's, feel alive and three dimensional.

Cassie, a "normal" teenager who suddenly might actually be the last human on Earth, is my favorite. She is isolated and on the run but desperately driven by the chance of reuniting with her younger brother--at much physical, psychological and emotional pain to herself. I loved reading about her struggle to stay pragmatic in the face of paranoia and her moral balancing act with the ever evolving rules of survival in the post-invasion world.

I wasn't as engaged with Zombie's POV but I rather enjoyed the character when he was depicted by others. The strength of his character voice wasn't as dominant as Cassie's and while that made sense with his character's story line, Zombie's guilt (and other extenuating circumstances) gave his voice a muted quality in comparison. I enjoyed the psychological suspense the most (I couldn't help but also wonder what it'd be like with a dual female protagonist POV pair of Cassie and Ringer as well...) There are several other intriguing smaller POVs that have room to grow in future installments of the series and one in particular I would have SO much to talk about if not for pesky spoilers.

The POVs expertly enrich the depth and scope of the invasion and the story is such that even though you'll figure some twists out before the characters, it does nothing to diminish the suspense or emotional rewards. Sure there are some questions that surface when you think too much about certain plot points (the age demographic of the squads for one), but the overall result is so entertaining and well-written that the questions are easy to brush aside. The more the different POVs come together, the stronger the story grows with surprisingly moving results.

I love backing characters into corners to see what they are capable of--and an alien invasion has a lot of corners. Let's face it. Humanity is freaking weird and that will always be our secret weapon. How strong we can be with our weaknesses. How unpredictable we are in our predictability. Humanity has a fluidity than cannot be fully foreseen or contained. You can back humans into a corner and you're never quite sure what you're going to get. The results can at turns disgust or delight, but something will always prevail.

Whether that is to the benefit of Earth's surviving humans or the new invaders, is yet to be seen. But I'll definitely be reading to find out! 

 4 STARS!

*Ok I had to take a star off just because it took me awhile to get into the book i really didn't like it at first. Not until Nathan found Cassie and started taking care of her. I also took off the star just because I wanted to see Cassie and Ben together! NOT Zombie and Ringer and Cassie and Ethan!! Cassie and Zombie! And i didn't like that Sam grew up. He's only 5 and he starts acting like he's 20 and ready to take on aliens! Come on!!! I want the little Sammy back he one who needed his sister to protect him and had to have his bear every night to go to sleep :( *

This has no title...well now it does..

Well guys i got the job... which means less free time....which means less of me spending time on Goodreads, my blogs, and my Instagram FG page :(

Asdfghjk;!!!!! Oh mi gosh!!!! I NEED PART TWO NOW!!! That last chapter!!! Wow!!! And Ethan and Ben and Sams!!!!! Ahhhhh!!! I can't even....comprehend....crazy awesomeness of a book this is!!

Ok I'll put up a review tomorrow!!

Throwback Thursday!!

Okay so I'm starting something new today!! YAY!! I know, I know I'm excited too!!! But since I'll be going to college soon and there's several classic books i need to read before that day i thought i might as well incorporate it into my blog.

Now i know several people will not care to even see this just because some classic books are...well... just BORING! I know some are but i think there are a few really good ones out there and intend to find and read them!

Now since I have already started reading a classic book and even though i do not like it that much I'm still posting it today just to get the ball rolling! :D

 Ok so here is the book I'm reading for college!! And here is the Goodreads page for it ------> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/295.Treasure_Island?ac=1

And so far it's boring....BUT I hear good things about it ALL the time so i hope as i get further into the story it will pick up and get interesting!

What made me want to read this book was the kid movie Treasure Planet. I LOVED that movie as a child and since the movie was based on the book i thought since i gotta start somewhere ill start somewhere I'm a little familiar. :)

I'm only 17% through the book right now and I've had it a long time :\ I know i need to get on the ball but i just keep finding REALLY good books!! But I'm going to really try and finish it within a few weeks!


I might not post another Throwback Thursday till i finish this one and start on another but in the mean time i wanna know what your favorite classic is or what classic book you would recommend for me to read??

Comment down below!! :D

The 5th Wave discussion

 AAAHHHHHHH!! SOOO GOOD!

I am 7 chapters away from finishing this book!!
It took awhile for me to really get into this book  but once i did i hate having to put it down to go to bed every night!!

Every character is so unique and loveable!! Well except for Ringer for some reason i don't like her and i find Ethan creepy :\  But everyone else i can relate to in one way or another!

It really didn't pick up for me until Ethan found Cassie and started taking care of her. Up until then the book wasn't pleasing to me and it's taken me along time to finish this book (Well long to me)

Ok now i gotta give bonus points to this book for ONE THING!! Mentioning tampons in a dystopian! What's next--actually acknowledging body hair when all the razors are gone? HAHA! 

OK! I don't wanna say to much just because i'll be saying ALOT for the book review which will probably be tomorrow. Since I'll be finishing the book TONIGHT! :D

Pictures! :)

 

 

Cascade Book Review

Cascade Book Review

By Lisa T. Bergren

  (The River of Time #2)

  Read from July 11 to 21, 2013 

                                       Goodreads Summary

 
Mom touched my underdress—a gown made six hundred years before—and her eyes widened as she rubbed the raw silk between thumb and forefinger. She turned and touched Lia’s gown. “Where did you get these clothes?”
Gabi knows she’s left her heart in the fourteenth century and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives. When they arrive, weeks have passed and all of Siena longs to celebrate the heroines who turned the tide in the battle against Florence—while the Florentines will go to great lengths to see them dead.
But Marcello patiently awaits, and Gabi must decide if she’s willing to leave her family behind for good in order to give her heart to him forever.




 My Thoughts
I wanna marry this book. This whole series. It's like Lisa took everything I want out of a book and put it all together to make the best series EVER! Even if you don't like historical fiction or time travel, this series is so much more than that. The River of Time defies simple categorization and gives readers something they so rarely get.

But this is a second book in a series (Waterfall: A Novel (River of Time Series) is the first book), so you probably have some questions. Second books always sort of scare me, especially when I loved the first book like I did with this series. Will the sequel measure up? Will it spoil the happy feelings the first book left me with? Reading shouldn't be so dangerous, but when you're as emotionally invested in a series as I am with The River of Time, then the idea of opening up the sequel can be scary!

I'm going to try to answer the questions I had when I started reading. I'm going to try to avoid any spoilers for both Cascade and Waterfall, but some things can't be avoided (like if I mention a character appearing in Cascade, then you kinda know they didn't die in Waterfall...) So if you haven't read Waterfall yet (WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!), then you might not want to read this review.

~Do the characters I love show up?~

Oh yeah! Of course Gabi, Marcello, and Luca have plenty of page time, but Lia is also elevated to MC status (and she is totally awesome!). Romana and Fortino make a small appearance, but they're not really present much. I know, I was bummed about the lack of Fortino, too. You know who does show up and totally surprised me? Paratore. I thought we had seen the last of him, but that jerk is back for more...and I love it!

We're also introduced to two more characters who were totally awesome additions: Momma She-Wolf and Lord Greco. Momma She-Wolf is Gabi and Lia's mother who travels back in time with them. She is kick butt! I love that Lisa included their mother. Parents are so often ignored in YA, but when you're torn between living in the 14th century or going back home without the love of your life, well, that's kind of a decision you'd want to talk over with your mom, right?

Lord Greco is such a great character. I love hating him and I can't help admiring him (and finding him attractive. Yeah, there's another hot guy). Is he bad? I'm not sure. I can't tell if he's good or if I'm just trying really hard to make him good because I like him so much. I'm not even sure if I want him to be good or bad. He's such a great villain, but he is totally swoon-worthy so, you know, having him be a villain might complicate things.

~Will I be happy with the romance?~

Middle books usually suck when it comes to romance. You have all the happy "Yay the couple got together!!" coming off the end of the first book, but usually authors try to complicate things in the sequel. Love triangles, misunderstandings, anything to make the honeymoon end.

BUT NOT LISA! I just want to give her a huge hug for not putting me through that agony. Gabi and Marcello are just as awesome together in Cascade as they were in Waterfall. Not only that, but Lisa also totally avoids the annoying "Gazing into each others eyes for pages" thing that also usually happens when couples have been together for too long in books. You know how it can get boring seeing a couple just be together? Not here. Their relationship is growing and it's tender and sweet, but also realistic and still totally clean. Marcello is a 14th century guy, and while that provides a lot of perks, he also has a very different approach to relationships than we have today (like marriage age, divorce, etc).

I loved the scenes where Gabi and Marcello hashed out these differences. The fact that Gabi is actually considering these differences and how profoundly her life will change is so refreshing. YA girls are so quick to throw away everything in their life for their paranormal insta-love guy. This gets old and I can't help but lose a little respect for those girls. Gabi acknowledges how much she loves Marcello, but she also carefully considers all of the ramifications to both herself and her family if she chooses to stay with him in the 14th century.

And Lia and Luca? *Squeeeel* SO adorable!

~How's the action? Is it as good as it was in Waterfall?~

It's better! Waterfall was a battle. Cascade begins a WAR. The stakes are super high and, honestly, I never knew what was going to happen next. There's secret passageways, espionage, heart-pounding escapes, double crossing, and plague! The political intrigue is so intense I had my eyes glued to the pages and was left gasping in surprise. I couldn't believe some of the things the characters did! Let me tell you, the 14th century is filled with JERKS. Conniving, horrible, ruthless jerks.

My poor, wonderful characters go through so much in this book. I was worried about all of them, and with good reason! We're lulled into a false sense of security with some cute and benign scenes in the beginning, but before long bad things start happening and we don't have a moment's rest. The action kicks into high gear and stays that way throughout the rest of the book. Once you hit that spot you won't be able to put the book down. I'm talking taking a sick day at work because you don't want to stop reading kind of feeling.

~How are the Christian fiction aspects?~

If you like Christian fiction, then I think you'll be happy with the progression of Gabi's dawning faith. If Christian fiction isn't your thing, then I don't think you'll be bothered at all. The presence of Christian elements is very subtle in both Waterfall and Cascade. While Gabi slowly comes around to embracing the idea of God and God's plan, the story stands just fine on its own without these elements.


What I mean is, you know how sometimes in Christian fiction the entire premise is based on religion. It's a major plot point and the book doesn't work if it were removed. That's not the case here. Gabi is a strong character and able to do what she does because she's a strong, capable girl.

 

5 STARS!!

Divergent Book Review

Divergent Book Review

 By Veronica Roth

Read in May, 2013

                                                      Goodreads Summary 

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she loves . . . or it might destroy her

My Thoughts

When I finished 'Divergent' I sat thinking about it and feeling a lot like I did when I finished 'The Hunger Games'. It was a similar reading experience...a fast-paced story in an other world situation with a strong female character. The story transported me and I had a hard time pulling myself out of the book in order to continue with my every day things. In fact, when I closed the book after finishing it, I was struck by the desire to start over from the beginning because I didn't want the experience to stop. It was THAT good.

(I'm not giving a plot overview...many others have already done that)

The world Trice lives in is fascinating. I was gripped at first learning about the society and the factions and I found myself enjoying the story more and more as she chose a faction and went through the initiation process. In fact, I think the initiation (which takes up most of the book) was my favorite part.

The ending contains a twist I didn't expect. I thought the story, despite little hints of the Erudite mystery, would end with whether or not Trice would be accepted into her faction. It doesn't. It suddenly takes an unexpected, over-reaching twist that changes the entire landscape of the story. It goes from a story set mainly in one faction to one that deals with the beginning of a societal fray. It was unexpected, but enjoyable. It was something the author had built up to, but in a subtle way. I also liked that while this is going to be a series, the book ends without a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhanger endings that leave you wondering for months. While there are many things left to discover in this world, you do get an ending with this book.

The characters are believable, lovable and, at times, scary. I love the evolution of Four ) and Christina. Actually, I really just love Four.

The story is written in first person from Trice's perspective. She's a good narrator, though first-person does make the action/fight sequences a little clunky. 'Divergent' also has plenty of action, humor, mystery and a little bit of romance.

And i can't wait for book 3 and the movie!! :D
The worst part about this book is that the Allegiant (The 3rd book) isn't out yet! (12 Days To Go!!!)
 If you enjoyed The Hunger Games, I recommend this for you. I also recommend it to anyone who loves a good story.

 

5 STARS!!

Obsidian Book Review

Obsidian

By Jennifer L. Armentrout

(The Lux Series)  

Goodreads Review 

 
 Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.

My Thoughts
Three words ... MY. NEW. FAVORITE!!!

I was hoked the VERY FIRST chapter!! AMAZING!! This book is absolutely awesome. Armentrout developed an amazing character in Katy. She's this spunky and (extremely) sassy teenager who holds nothing back when it comes to the leading male, Daemon, (who happens to be my new favorite male character). Daemon is mouthy and bossy and full of himself and apparently, drop dead gorgeous. The rapport between these two main characters is like watching someone throw gasoline on a fire -you know it will be cool to look at and fun to be around but it's so hot that you don't want to go near it.

Anyhow. Armentrout pulls you in from the very first page. Her style of writing is so .... laid back (?!?) ... I can't think of another word for it ... you just feel like it's happening around you. She doesn't add any extra descriptions that you don't really need. Everything she writes is pertinent to the story and can't be cut out ... no filler (yay)!!

Great book ... I recommend it to anyone who wants a fun summer read. This is definite "by-the-pool" reading. I can't wait to read it again.

Pick it up. Read it. You won't be disappointed!

5 STARS!!

Waterfall Book Review

Waterfall Book Review 

By: Lisa T. Bergren

(The River of Times Series) 

  Read from July 09 to 11, 2013 

 Goodreads Summary

What do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?

Most American teenagers want a vacation in Italy, but the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives among the romantic hills with their archaelogist parents. Stuck among the rubble of the medieval castles in rural Tuscany, on yet another hot, dusty archaeological site, Gabi and Lia are bored out of their minds...until Gabi places her hand atop a handprint in an ancient tomb and finds herself in fourteenth-century Italy. And worse yet, in the middle of a fierce battle between knights of two opposing forces.

Suddenly Gabi's summer in Italy is much, much more interesting.

 My Thoughts


Ok my friend Mary Kathren (Met her at BAM) the day i met her recommended this series to me. And at first I didn't care to read it. The Synopsis didn't have a hook in it to make me WANNA read it. But she insisted I should, and gave me her Kindle password to read it.

So I started the book in July and read it in 2 days!! I fell in love with this series!! And the Characters are soooo LOVEABLE!! 

 My summary of the story does nothing for it, neither does the summary on the back of the books, because, frankly, both make the books sound a tad childish, a little cliche, basically- typical- and Waterfall is anything but. I LOVED this book. It’s one of those books that surprises you; of course you thought you would like it. I was thrown by how deeply immersed in the story I became!!It had everything a reader could want in a medieval adventure: battles, sword fights, balls, adventure, peril, humor, suspense, mystery, romance...everything! To put it simply--I was completely wowed by this book. The River of Time series ranks right up there with the best of them and will have a permanent spot on my bookshelf!

Gabriella (Gabi) was one amazing woman. While she was strong and fearless, she was also gentle, compassionate, and had her weaknesses. Being able to wield a sword gave her some advantage when the time travel landed her in the middle of a small war, but knowing how to spar with her father did little to prepare her to take on seasoned knights three times stronger than herself. But even then, she does not shirk from danger. That was one of my favorite aspects of Gabi--she was heroic and brave, even if she was inwardly scared out of her wits.

The men in these books were amazing! Marcello and Luca were just plain awesome. What girl wouldn't want a brave knight beside you, ready to die to keep you safe? And handsome, ta boot! While Marcello was wonderful, I felt more of a liking his sidekick, humorous Luca. His gentle teasing and quirky comments in the face of danger endeared me to this man who was so devoted to Marcello, and in turn, Gabi and Lia.

 A splendid start to a new trilogy and definitely one of my favorite reads of the year! This book is A MUST READ!! no no no this SERIES is A MUST READ!! My warning to you... Don't start it unless you have the time to finish it!! :)

5 STARS!!

About Me

What was the book/s that got you reading? Tell me in the comments below!

 

I have so many friend who hate reading!! And i just sit there trying to tell them i was just like them at one point too. I just had to find
1. The Genre I like and
2. A book in the genre that i loved!

For those of you who do not know who i am My name is Courtney and I started reading February 2013 and since then it has been my life!! Although I am not aloud to read i still do. I read alot on my phone at night after my parents have gone to bed.  And I get books from my local library but my parents don't know about that either.  The book that got me started reading was the Hunger Games :3

I wasn't aloud the watch the movie because my parents thought kids killing kids was wrong, and i understood where they were coming from. But my brother and I eventually convinced them to let us watch it and i just loved the movie!! After I watched the movie, to me it seemed like it was missing important information. So I got curious about what the book was about and went and found the book online for free!

 I started the first book and told my parents I was reading it.... BIG MISTAKE!  They made it VERY clear that I was not aloud any books unless they were christian. And i understand why they wanted that. (My family and I are christians, we have devoted of lives to Christ) But i really liked the book so i went behind their backs and read the rest of the series. Then when I finished i wanted another book series like it so i went online and searched for "books like the Hunger Games" and i found Divergent and The Maze Runner and i read those series and since then i have read 34 books without my parents knowing.

I have been Christian homeschooled since the beginning of my 9th grade year and each year i like it more and more but i still don't LOVE it. Im am 16 years old and my birthday it December 5th :)  I live in Texas and HATE the cold!

Right now i am reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

Goodreads Book Page
