Book talk - Vanishing girls by @oliverbooks Lauren Oliver

New York Times  bestselling author  Lauren Oliver  delivers a gripping story about two sisters inexorably altered by a terrible accident. So if you've been following previous posts, you know that Vanishing Girls was featured in the March favourites. I was incredibly excited for this to hit the shelves and practically screamed with joy on the morning of the 10th.  Sadly, only three hours after the Hardback arrived at my house, I was almost kind of ready to send it back. Couldn't believe it and I'm still a little bit in denial, but I guess these things happen. I'm saying this with a really heavy heart because the book wasn't terribly written, nor was the story by any means ludicrous - just couldn't seem to hold my interest for more much than 10 minutes.   The writing itself was of course compelling, well written and  typically Oliver-esque, but unfortunately, whatever it was, every time I sat down with it nothing really went in. I just felt super...

CRAZY SNEAK PEEK!!

Exciting news, 'Jewel' fans,  we've got a an exclusive deleted scene for you! It seems like we've all been waiting for this month for a decade, desperately waiting, wishing for September to come sooner, but now, IT IS FINALLY HERE. And with the release, comes an exclusive delete scene, just for you . Now isn't that something to celebrate?  Yep, we think so too.  So, The Wishing Well, is part of a neat collection of pretty cool stories for Kids. These tell the stories of the two sisters who are granted a wish after saving a water spirit. (Sounds pretty cool already, right? ) The stories focus on how exactly those wishes impacted the sisters lives.  Well, we're certainly looking forward to seeing how that story ends.

So guess what I'm finally reading? (Includes AWESOME BOOK TALK WITH XTINE)

So I finally picked up the Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me Series last week... and I'm already half way through the second book.  I remember starting Shatter Me quite a while ago, but couldn't really get into it. Maybe I just wasn't in the right head space, who knows, so I decided to give it a miss for the time being.  I heard so much great stuff about the series, so I knew I had to pick up the series again sometime. Just HAD to and well, I did!  And voila, here we are.  I still had a bit of a hard time getting through the first few chapters of Shatter Me, but did rather enjoy it by the end. HUZZAH  (Review coming soon!) For now,  Let me illustrate overall feels with obligatory collection of suitable gifs.  Half way through the second book, I still find myself TEAM TORN. ACK. We'll see how I feel by the end.  Feels at the beginning of the Series: Half way through Shatter Me: ...
