What bugs you about books? #Fridayrant with Emily

                              All bookworms have pet peeves when it comes to books. Wether you're watching other people with their books and wanting to scream, take the book away and write them a book on "how to read and handle books your way (the right way)",  or wether you want to write big, long, angry letters to publisher about the books they have published.  I.  Please don't start reading your book by cracking the spine and bending the book about.  DO YOU WANT IT TO BREAK?! DO YOU LIKE TO WATCH BOOKS IN PAIN?!   Seriously, I can't deal with my need to run dramatically over and rescue the book from your uncaring hands everytime I'm on the bus.  II.   Please don't ask to borrow my books if you don't have any intention of starting it in the next few weeks! My books are my children and I don't like parting with them.  III . Don't go t...

Saturday morning pep-talk

This morning I realised, once again , just how much we take for granted. How much  I  take for granted.  Friendships, health, good fortune.  How easy it is to make judgments, instead of just being thankful.  And now I sit here in my oversized room, pondering, heavy thoughts clouding up my mind while letters fly out of my fingertips.  Writing down your worries may help, but it will not change anything. We all know this, but here I am, typing, instead of doing.  But I'm done typing and I'd advise you all to join me on this mission. Let's make 2014 a year of change , a year of definitive actions and a year of improvements , but most importantly, let's make it a year that will lead us into a brighter, happier future , for you and for the people around you.  So stop writing and start doing.

Why don't you focus more on what makes you brilliant and less on what y...

Touch by Jus Accardo (Denazen #1)

Touch (A Denazen Novel) Genre: YA, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, Dystopia, Written by: Jus Accardo (check out her website here .) Available as Paperback and Kindle edition Buy it here Published by Entangled publishing, November '11 bookshelves:  book-boyfriends ,  to-be-reviewed ,  best-of-ya   “If I had the ability to touch anyone else in this world, I still don't believe I'd want it to be anyone but you.”  I 'm not entirely sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this . Most of all, I did not expect it to be so full of action and plot twists. I could hardly catch my breath. What a nice surprise. The story:  Meet Deznee Cross, cocky seventeen year old self proclaimed adrenaline junkie. She lives her life seizing every opportunity she can find to piss off her dad, wether it's by staying out until the early hours of the morning, getting bad grades in school or hanging out wi...

The secret of Ella & Micha BY J. Sorensen

The Secret of Ella & Micha (The Secret #1) Genre: YA, Contemporary romance, coming of age,  Written by: Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback and Kindle edition  Published: October 2nd '12  Buy it here :  ''Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance and I figured i'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.”  Just after a couple of pages in, I had a feeling I'd enjoy the book, Jessica's writing style is so sweet, it's hard not to fall in love with her characters.   It didn't feel like she was trying too hard to appeal to certain audiences, her words just flowed naturally and nothing felt forced or too much. And isn't it always a little frustrating  when you come across an author who tries too hard to sound 'young and hip' and  all want to do is give 'em a stern glare, pat their back and tell them that no-one talks like that.  Seriou...

Back to you BY Priscilla Glenn

                                                              Back to you        Genre: NA, contemporary romance, child abuse/neglect, YA     Written by: Priscilla Glenn    Available as Paperback and Kindle edition   Published October 20th '12 by Creative Space   Get it here :       "I always knew I would fall in love with you," he said softly, "but you were never supposed to love me back." Now as you see by the rating alone, this one's quite high up there, especially because I hardly tend to rate anything higher than 3, even if I really enjoyed it. Usually my motto is, '3's plenty, no need to get rating happy! I've just seen a lot of people rating all of their previously read books above 4 and 5, completely throwing all caution to th...

The Fallen Star (The Fallen Star #1) BY Jessica Sorensen

The Fallen Star  Genre: YA, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy  Written by: #1 NYT best selling author Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback or ebook Buy it here :  Published by: Creative Space in August '11 ISBN: 1461052149 Well this is one is gonna be a tough one to write, but here we go! Usually, Jessica's books are pretty high up on my list of YA favourites,  her books are sweet and usually highly entertaining, however... it saddens me to say, that I don't think 'The fallen star' is gonna make the cut. The story started out sweet and mysterious enough, and I was ready to throw myself into a new paranormal romance series.  Social outcast and protagonist Gemma walks through life unable to feel any kind of emotion, she's hollow and completely numb to anything going on around her..her family is a little on the odd side and to top it all off she seems to be on the verge of losing her sanity. That is,  unt...
