Eat, Sleep, Read

Got approved too!! Weeeee. I think it's on auto approve ;) Now all I have to do is figure out how to read books from Netgalley :))))

DAMN! Katie McGarry really CAN write!! This is really really good and I love this one as much as I love Pushing the Limits. The woman puts depth in her writing, and very few authors can manage to do that. This book made me laugh, smile, giggle and tear up at times. I. Just. Love. It. Can't wait for Isaiah's story! As much as I want to babble about Beth and Ryan, I can't now :P I'll post the long review sometime when it's near the publication date. For now all I can say is, THIS WAS ONE HELL OF A BOOK WITH ONE HELL OF A WRITING. You're missing a lot if you don't pick this one up in June ;) One word: CAN. *wink* ;)

How can you call that an ending?!! It left me heartbroken <//////3 I'm at a loss for words.... I think I'm hyperventilating, I need to find out whether there'll be a second book and as to when it will be released <///3

Altho the ending felt like kind of rushed, I still love it. <3 Much more sensible review to come!!

SO. AMAZING. This is one of those books that I will keep on reading even if it went on and on and on. ENDLESSLY. And I am joining the ROAR bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, I love Perry but my heart is swooning for Roar. So, let's go Aria and Roar, yes? :P full review to come ;)

WHY DOES THIS COVER HAVE TO BE SO PRETTY?! HOW COME MAY IS NOT YET HERE?!?!?!

THE.

FREAKING.

COVER.







I don't think I have any feelings regarding the sequel to Of Poseidon.

First of all, this book did not please me at all. I was bored to tears while reading this book and I can't help but compare this book to the previous one. The alternating POVs wasn't also doing this book any favor. The humor which I came to love, was lost!!! How can that be! I was expecting to laugh out loud halfway through the book. It feels like the thoughts in this book were scattered. And I am indifferent towards Emma, her mom, Galen, Grom and even Rayna. Toraf on the other hand surprisingly made me feel a little bit of sympathy towards him but that's it.

And it also seems like Emma's thoughts are all over the place!!! Like her encounter with Mark, she was thinking one thing at first and then right after talking to him she was thinking the exact opposite of what she has thought beforehand.

And then the tribunal!!! Wasn't the tribunal just about the verification of whether Emma's mom is who she is claiming to be–Nalia the long lost Poseidon heir?? Then how come it became the trial of The Royals? Gahhh, are they really that disorganized to hold a trial discussing all problems at hand at once?? It's confusing and boring and I'm finding it hard to be immersed in the story line. Ugggh.

And the solutions to their problems!!! Not only did it look too easy but it also looked like it was rushed! And once again, thrown at us all at the same time. It's overwhelming and steals away the thrill of the story. Just so many things happening at once!! I do like the epilogue though. Maybe, what I'm really trying to say is that the conflict feels forced and that I wanted more Emma and Galen moments that feel real and that don't warrant an eye-roll. Sadly, Of Triton did not live up to its predecessor, Of Poseidon. So much for being excited. :(

I honestly don't know how I feel about this book. One thing's for sure though, it left me heartbroken in the end. And I'm skeptical about the whole lgbt theme. I didin't know the book is lgbt-themed. Still, it was well-written and intriguing. So I don't know what to rate this book, in the mean time I'm giving it a 3.5 ;) will definitely check out Moskowitz's other books :)

So damn good that I didn't stop reading it until I finished. Damn! Review to come ;) love every character who deserves it and loathed the ones who are loathsome. ;) just.... DAMN!

“Courage of the heart is very rare,” she said with sudden calm. “Let it guide you.”

This book didn't bore me and kept me interested, intrigued even, all throughout!!! Definitely a lot of cutesy moments between Celeana and Prince Dorian that had me giggling, as well as between Celeana and Chaol. And I love a good romance! Although what really made this book shine was the world Maas created. It was breathtaking! And I am most definitely looking forward to the next book!

I know this review won't suffice the awesomeness of this book, but I have school tomorrow and it's waaaay past my bed time so I'll find time to give this book itsmuch deserved review. For now, I highly recommend this book to everyone. Way to kick off my 2013 with a gem like this book!!!

This turned out to be an awesome read despite of my being picky as to the story's plot. I admit that I'm not a fan of the whole cyborg imagery and despite that fact I still came to love this book. This truly is a masterpiece worth reading and I can't wait to read the next book. If I'm not rushing into finishing this book, I might have enjoyed it more. Nonetheless, I'm congratulating the author for doing a phenomenal job ;) although it was totally predictable, still... Worth my time ;)

The book was... Frustratingly good. But I didn't get the ending. Can someone please tell me if something significant was reveled in the ending? Because I'm kind of slow when it comes to cryptic endings or am I just dumb for missing it's message? I was frustrated with Jack mostly because he keeps acting like a total dickwad and asshole!!! Please make me understand why you are swooning for such a guy? Unless he does something really heartwarming in the next book I might consider him for Evie. But until fucking then, I want a new potential who will treat Evie right. And up until now I'm frustrated because I need more of the book. I feel like I'm nearing the exciting parts and reveals of the book but I had to waste my time with this first book.... SEE HOW FRUSTRATING THAT CAN BE. Sigh. I need to calm down and find a book that will satisfy my excitement and need. Again.... SIGH.

“Good,” he says. He reaches his hand out on the concrete between us and wraps his pinky around mine.”

Can I cry? That's all I really want to say in this review :))) I don't know what else there is to say! This book broke my heart. I know that Coleen Hoover is a great writer because a handful of bookworms LOVE her book, Slammed which I admittedly haven't finished yet until now because somehow the main character is annoying. I don't know why, she just... Annoys me and I wish she didn't so that I could love the book as much as the others did. Anyway, so I was wee bit skeptical into picking up this book but glad that I did. And although there were cheeezy moments that made my eyes roll (I just really hate it when couples get too corny) there were also moments that made me giggle and sigh wishing one day I'll have moments like Sky and Holder's. actually I have mixed emotions but still gave it a 5. Because I honestly think it deserves a 5 because the issues discussed DO happen and it didn't feel like they were forced. It felt real which was why my heart broke into tiny little pieces. But I don't think I'll be rereading this anytime soon because the pain it gave me is unbearable I don't think I can go through it again. I just want to forget it :))) and with this, I'm thinking of maybe giving Slammed a second chance ;)

PS I even thought this was a paranormal book because Holder was acting weird in the first part of the book. I love starting books without having a clue what it's about or without fully grasping what the blurb says because I like it when I'm surprised as to what the book is going to drop on me. I don't even fully read the reviews just the first few parts containing worships and praises to encourage me more into picking up the book ;)

I would have given this book a 5 if it gave me my sad ending. Regardless, I'm still happy and relieved to have my happily ever afterso who am I to complain! But the author could have taken that risk of making the book look more realistic. Although looking back, I loved Andrew and Camryn together :"> still, I just though a tragic ending would fit this book better :P

I want to know.... WHY?! Why did this book leave me hanging?!?! I was on the edge of my seat, my breath nearly coming to a stop awaiting for the next bomb jessica will drop on me, wondering... Will this book give me my happily ever after? Or will it be one of those tragic endings that will leave me thinking about it for the next few days? I love my happy endings but then at times I like it also when the authors leave their readers with pain to leave an impression. Make a mark. Make an imprint of their cruelty yet that no matter how cruel they may seem it still feels right to have a sad ending because it makes the book even more real and wonderful. So before I blab out what I am freaking out about I will just search for the next book and as to when it will be released. Because really, right now I am suffering and just might be dying. Although don't get me wrong, I love this book beyond words. I love Callie, Kayden, Luke and Seth. And this book made me connect to Callie minus her issues and made me realize, that it is possible for the lonely hearts to find one another and share each other's pain just to make it more bearable. Sigggggh. Goddamn this book, why do you have to be so good?!

Great book really. It was moving and although I wanted a tragic ending, a good ending fits the story better. I don't know how I'm going to live if this book ended badly. Nice read which kept me interested all the way until the end :)

Actual rating: 4.5

Fanfreakintastic book! Review to come!

Review to come in a while! Just need to study first. ;) for now I've got one word for this book: DEPRESSING

What made this book great and one of my favorites is that it grabs on to your heart and squeezes it until it hurts. While reading the book, the plot haunted and made me feel depressed at the same time. Just imagine living in a world full of zombies without your family and feeling hopeless, not seeing the point of your existence anymore. The teens here were broken into individuals whose survival modes are on. Because if I were them, I'd feel something break inside of me too when thrown in the same situation.

This is my first Courtney Summers book and I must say I'm not disappointed because I did enjoy the book in a depressing way. The book made me feel something towards it, it evoked feelings from me and such is an indication of a well-written book!

The thing no one tells you about surviving, about the mere act of holding out, is how many hours are nothing because nothing happens. They also don’t tell you about how you can share your deepest secrets with someone, kiss them, and the next hour it’s like there’s nothing between you because not everything can mean something all the time or you’d be crushed under the weight of it. They don’t tell you how you will float through days. You autopilot, here but not really here, sleepwalking, and then every so often you are awake.

“She always said I’d die without her and she left anyway.”
“But you didn’t die,” he says. “I did,” I say. “I’m just waiting for the rest of me to catch up.”

He presses his lips against the side of my mouth and my heart recoils because for all its gentleness, it hurts.

For me this was a heart wrenching (yup, not just breaking. It's more on the wrenching side) read which I still ended up loving. The lack ofone star was due to the ending. I actually thought it was a good ending but it still frustrated me! Because I wanted my HEA! I always want the HEA awaiting the characters but it didn't come :( and I was left wonderin and wondering and wondering.... Until I have to stop tinking about it because I know I will never find my Happily Ever After *sigh*. Ooooh you're good Ms. Summers!!!! You got me there. And so from now on, I'm watching you!!! :))))

To sum it up, my heart ahed for.....
Cary because he was such a great leader and I am hoping the best for him. I'm hoping so much, it actually hurts :(
Harrison because even if he was a crybaby I think he was the bravest in the end.
Trace because even if he was a jerk and a dick to Cary, he is still a loving and caring brother to Grace. And his end was just a tragedy expected but still..... I can't accept it. But I guess understandable because in a dystopian world full of zombies, who wouldn't go nuts?!
Grace because her end wasn't exactly how I expected it to be. But I guess it's better for her that way.
Rhys because I think he's the one who has the most sanity left despite what happened to him. He was so together I'd feel safe if ever I'd be with someone like him in a zombie infested world.
And lastly, Sloane because her life was no good may it be before the end of the world and duh, most likely even after. So with this, I only hope that Sloane found the hope to live even just for Rhys. Because if she's going to continue beng suicidal, atleast leave Rhys out of it.

So there.... Even if there'll be no book 2 Id understand and wouldn't love ths book any less. If there would be book 2 then great! Or not. Or whatever. So if you want to feel depressed in a good way (is such feeling possible?) read TINA T. You'll get what I mean once you read this :)

Actual rating: 3.5

I wanted to love this book. I really did. But I must admit it was kinda disappointing. The plot has so much potential to become an amazing book. The build up on Jessica and Lucius' love story was weak. I even thought that I missed somewhere within the book the part where they tarted to fall in love with one another. I've had so much expectations that it all ended up disappointing me. Sigh. But I'm not giving ip on this series! I'm going to read the second book some time soon. I hope the story gets better by then.
