I thought that Point of Retreat was a good follow-up to Slammed. While it didn't capture me the same way that the first one did, I definitely enjoyed it.
Point of Retreat picks up a few months after Layken's mother has passed away. Layken and Will's relationship seems to be going well. They're both going to college and raising their little brothers, splitting time between their two houses. Everything just seems so peachy...until it's not.
It begins with a little lie...not even a lie, just the failure to reveal something important that becomes the catalyst that carries this book. I loved seeing the relationship between Will and Layken, Will and Kel, Kel and Caulder...just all the family aspects. There were some new additions, one being new neighbors Kiersten and her mother Shelley. Not gonna lie, but Kiersten really annoyed me for a good majority of the book, but toward the end, I sort of warmed up to her.
Now, the majority of this book focused on a fight between Layken and Will. One fight. Seems a little ridiculous, right? Well, yes, in a way, it was. It shouldn't have been dragged out as long as it was. When will people learn that communication is key??? I totally get what Layken was saying, why she wouldn't immediately take Will back. But Layken, honey, listen to your own words and then listen to Will's. Stop butterflying carving pumpkins!!
The one part I wasn't too thrilled on was (view spoiler)[the car crash (hide spoiler)]. I felt like it was unnecessary drama that this book didn't need. What makes these books special are the relationships that are showcased. Just their day to day lives are captivating because of their situations. With the addition of the (view spoiler)[crash (hide spoiler)], it seemed like the writer was grasping for a YA cliche to round out the book. It wasn't needed.
Lastly, I loved that we got to meet Will's grandparents. The grandpa's relationship with Caulder, and how openly he accepted Kel, was adorable and heartwarming. When Will realized that losing Layken would also cost him Kel, my heart broke along with him. Not gonna lie, the little brothers sell this entire series to me. They are just pure win.
I went into this book thinking this was the final one only to find out there's going to be a third one coming. I'm very interested in what that on will focus on. Based on the ending, I"m assuming it will be about (view spoiler)[the actual merging of the two families (hide spoiler)]....more

Fast foI have been a fan of McFly's ever since I saw them in that little Lindsay Lohan movie "Just My Luck" and found out that they were a real band. Fast forward 6 years later, and I finally got to see them perform live at one of the two shows they did in the US.
This is one of my favorite bands around. They've never lied about who they are or come across as something else just for fame...and this book shows it. Written by all four members, this autobiography starts from the beginning and takes us through all the ups and downs of their fame. I'm not going to lie, I didn't know a lot about their personal lives so this book really opened my eyes. There were stories about heartbreak and hobnobbing with other celebrities, but there were also stories of family struggles, drug and alcohol abuse, mental disorders, depression, and suicide attempts.
I loved everything about this book. How candid and honest the guys were and it just made me love them more. A must read for all McFly fans....more

This book was in no way the I was actually debating giving this book 5 stars, but I let it sit (and my excitement simmer down) and I'm giving it 4.5. This book was in no way the best thing ever written, but the feels it gave me while reading make up for it's high rating.
Someone Else's Fairytale begins with Chloe and her friends, Matthew and Lori, heading down to the college campus to become extras on a film being filmed in their area. The film stars current heartthrob, Jason Vanderholt, who is actually from that area. Jason meets Chloe in line, where she is of course completely unfazed by his celebrity status. Over a brief conversation, Chloe finds out that Jason has connections to her family - connections she doesn't want to talk about.
Needless to say, Jason finds Chloe's lack of interest in Hollywood refreshing. A friendship, mostly via Skype, ensues. Meanwhile, while all this is happening, Matthew (Chloe's best guy friend) suddenly starts exhibiting signs of jealousy.
Now here was where I started to get nervous. Chloe didn't have any...and I mean any interest in Jason and with Matthew's sudden interest, I was really confused as to who she would end up with. Jason - who we've come to know (and in my case, love). Or Matthew - who we had hardly seen any of up until now.
My one problem was Chloe's attitude at times. I get that she wants to be independent, and more power to her. In YA, female leads hardly ever actually stand up for themselves or what they believed in. But there were times when I just wanted to be like, ACCEPT THE DAMN GIFTS!
This book explores the concept of friendship before love so fluidly. And Chloe's background story, as dramatic as it seemed tied all together, the way the author weaved it through the story, just made the story that much tighter. Yes, parts were extremely cheesy, but I loved every second of it. And I cannot wait until the sequel!...more

Every thought, every dream is based around what her aunt would doAvery is a broken girl who lived her life in the shadows of who she wants to become. Every thought, every dream is based around what her aunt would do if in that position. She's living, but not really living.
Then she meets Brennus, dark and mysterious with a hideous scar down the side of his face. Brennus has been watching her for some time, and even though she's afraid, she is also drawn to him.
This novella focused on life and death, literally. I liked the idea behind it and the pace moved along at a nice rate. Brennus was a very intersesting character, from his life as a "reaper" to his life before. What I didn't really like was Avery. Yes, I get being scared of something that happens so fast, but her attitude and the way she handles her own life were frustrating. She was a child who was growing up in this false reality....more
This was my second graphic novel from Raina Telgemeier and it was just as wonderful as the first one I read, if not slightly more charming. Smile follThis was my second graphic novel from Raina Telgemeier and it was just as wonderful as the first one I read, if not slightly more charming. Smile follows the life of sixth-grader Raina as she has to endure some heavy duty dental work. From braces to head-gear, from middle school to high school, this story captures what it's like to be growing up. As Raina bears through years of orthodontia work, she also matures - realizing who she wants to be and what friends she wants around her.
I found it even more endearing that it was centered locally. Imagine my surprise when mentions of Watsonville and Aptos High were thrown in. I was like, hey I know those places! Another great surprise (well, maybe it wasn't a surprise and I just missed it), was that it was set in the late 80's. We had references to the earthquake here in 1989, New Kids on the Block retainers and the New Mickey Mouse Club. I just loved the author's attention to details from that era, especially for that age group.
Once again, colorful illustrations help tell this wonderful story. Adorable. Just plain adorable. ...more

Great forshadowing for what was to come in Scarlet.

I honestly didn't know what I would think of tDrama was a really cute graphic novel following the production of a musical in a middle school setting. I honestly didn't know what I would think of this one. My first thoughts were childish, why am I going to read this? But it came recommended from a friend I trust so I gave it a shot.
Drama follows Callie, a very outgoing girl who knows what she wants and goes after it, emotions be damned! She leads with her heart and deals with the aftermath as it comes. Callie loves plays - everything about them. So it's of no surprise she's part of the stage crew for her school productions.
Along the way of preparing for opening night, we meet a mirage of people to round out this book. And I will once again say how much I loved (even though I was shocked) that Telgemeier included young gay boys. The illustrations provided a colorful backgroud to this cute story, where I often found myself giggling. Just plain cute....more

Here we are, not introduced, but maybe more like become more familiar with Angela - who I'm going to say now, I've never really trusted in the books.
Radiant finds us in Italy where Clara has joined Angela at her family's for the summer before heading off to Stanford. The story is told from both Angela and Clara's POV, which was nice. I did like seeing inside Angela's head, however convoluted it was.
After reading this, I still don't like Angela. To me, she's extremely selfish and horribly jealous of Clara. Her whole romance with Phen, I have a feeling that it's going to come back and bite them in the ass.
All in all, it was a nice short glimpse into this world that I've missed. But now it's just made me crave the next book even more....more

One of my favorite things about being sick is that I can just sit on the couch and read. Case in point, I finished this in 4 hours.
I really enjoyed this book. Slammed follows the life of 18-year old Layken after her father unexpectedly passes away from a heart attack. Her mother uproots her and her brother from their life in Texas and moved them to Michigan. On her first day there she meets the boy across the street, Will, and his little brother. There's an instant connection between Layken and Will...until the day after their perfect date, and reality comes crashing down on them.
The few issues I had with this book were, like I said, few. I wasn't completely sold on the 'instant' connection between Will and Layken. In all honesty, how fast they fell for each other and some of the few exchanges between the two of them after they decided they couldn't be together were a little on the cheesy side to me. But something kept me reading on.
Layken, to me, was a bit on the immature side at times. I mean, I get it. She's 18, dealing with a great loss, a new school, and now the loss of someone who could have been important to her. But her me, me, me attitude was getting on my nerves. When she finally realized that having a relationship wasn't the most important thing in the world, her attitude completely changed. She grew up.
I loved Will. At only 21, he was handed a pretty shitty deck to deal with, but he handled it with maturity and grace. His relationship with his brother was what sold me on him. The commitment he had to family was truthfully the core of what made him. My only issue with him was how he kept leading Layken on after telling her no.
Then there's Kel and Caulder - I consider them one entity. I adored them! They brought a smile to my face every time they were mentioned. And their Halloween costumes - I died.
Even the side characters were win. Gavin and Eddie were a perfect addition. I was a little worried about Eddie in the beginning, I thought she might spill Layken's secret. But no, she's actually a really good friend (which is a rare find in YA books). And also, Eddie's birthday surprise, yeah. I bawled over pink balloons...just saying.
But what I really loved about this book was how the writer, at least for me, took the focus off of love. It wasn't just a love story to me. To me, this was more a story of friendship. I loved watching how Layken and Will's relationship grew. I loved watching the relationship between Will and Layken's mom, Layken and her mom. This book was about growing up and dealing with what life throws at you. The way slam poetry was used just added to the intensity of the story. This was generally just an amazingly written story. With some great advice thrown in.
"Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers."
I think this might have been my favorite of the series so far. Why, do you ask? Two words.
No. Bill.
Well, more like hardly any Bill.
I'm sorry for all I think this might have been my favorite of the series so far. Why, do you ask? Two words.
No. Bill.
Well, more like hardly any Bill.
I'm sorry for all the Bill fans out there, but I just find him extremely boring and whiny. So the break was very welcome. Another reason why this book was better than the others:
More Eric.
And I mean, a lot of Eric. And he was kind of adorable with his little amnesia-riddled brain.
I still just can't find it in myself to give these books higher than a 3 star rating. I still have the same problems as I had with the other ones. I don't feel connected to the main character, I actually find her internal dialogue annoying. Also, I kind of hate books where every male character that gets introduced immediately is in love with the main character. Why????? I understand one or two guys fighting for a girl...maybe even three, but seriously? Sookie has like 6 or something.
So more Eric and more Jason, those would make these books better. ...more
Ok, let me justify my 5 star rating. No, this is not an amazing piece of literature. Hell, I don't think it can even be called literature. It's a bookOk, let me justify my 5 star rating. No, this is not an amazing piece of literature. Hell, I don't think it can even be called literature. It's a book about a film series.
The Complete Archive takes us through the journey of all 5 Twilight movies. Woven throughout each movie are introductions to the actors, and not just the main three. It talks about the wolves and the humans, and all the new vampires brought in during the finale one. There are memories written from producers, directors, and actors. On top of that, there are replica film call sheets, movie premiere tickets, and more.
Why give this 5 stars? Because of the feeling of nostalgia I got flipping through each page. It brought back the feelings of excitement I had when I saw Twilight in the theater for the first time. It made me forget about all the drama and hype surrounding the actors and made me excited for the finale movie, which, honestly, I hadn't been excited for lately.
So, good job. Thank you for this wonderful souvenir to commemorate this film journey. ...more
I will admit, when I first started this book, I had no clue that Nicholas Flammel was a real person. I honestly thouA solid three stars for this one.
I will admit, when I first started this book, I had no clue that Nicholas Flammel was a real person. I honestly thought he was someone JK Rowling thought up for Harry Potter. So I was a little confused when this book was handed to me. I think my thought process was, how the hell can someone get away with this? Is this a side series to Harry Potter by a different author (yeah, that one didn't make sense to even me, but I thought it)?
Ultimately, I do believe that this book was written because of how popular Harry Potter was. It showed that there was room for this type of genre. The Alchemyst follows Nicholas Flammel and his wife, Pernelle after the Codex (the book which holds the formula for the elixir of life) is stolen and Pernelle kidnapped. Flammel, joined by two twins who are part of an ancient prophecy and an Elder warrior, set out to stop the evil Dr. John Dee from bringing back the Dark Elders to the world.
I did like the world that Scott created. It reminded me a lot of Harry Potter mixed with Lord of the Rings set in modern San Francisco. He blended nicely the lore of ancient beings and brought them in an original way with the creation of the Dark Elders and Elders alike.
However, what confused me most was, if Nicholas Flammel and his wife had been living off this elixir for over 400 years, why then did they still need the Codex to brew the formula? Wouldn't you have it memorized by then?...more

Club Dead finds Sookie off on a mission to save Bill - her vampire lover who has pretty much left her for his old lover, even though his old lover ended up torturing him. Still, once a cheater and all... My first question, why would you even want to save Bill? Especially when you have an Alicide right there with you. But her name is Sookie, and she doesn't make good choices.
So on her mission to "save" Bill, she ends up almost getting killed (color me shocked). Then Eric is there, ready to take her away. Why are we still trying to save Bill? Oh yeah, her name is Sookie and she doesn't make good choices.
Throw in jealous werewolf exes, some really bad (not badass, just bad) assassins, plus Elvis, I mean Bubba, the vampire and this just hit a level of ridiculousness that I can't even comprehend. Thank God for the side characters, because I really can not stand Sookie and Bill.
Oh and HBO, thank you for making it your own....more

If I were to have left a review then it would hI finished this book the other day but I really needed to sort out all my emotions after reading this. If I were to have left a review then it would have just been straight nonsense.
Ok, let's be truthful, I'm still like that. This was one book where the characters just stay with you. Let's start with Jacqueline. Thank God for her. I loved her. She started off as this girl who gets dumped by her boyfriend, and she finds that she really doesn't know who she is without him. But throughout the book, she grows. And it's realistic. All of her fears and insecurities are ones that we've all felt. Oh and not too mention, she's also attacked and almost raped within the first ten pages.
And then it happens again...
And again...
I can't like seriously. It's too much...
But in the midst of this, she meets Lucas. Who is far from perfect as you can get...yet he's ultimately perfect for her. I can't really say anything without giving too much away, and I don't want to do that because everyone who reads this needs to experience all the feels first hand.
I laughed, I cried. The talk between Jacqueline and Dr. Heller had me a sobbing mess at work and to me, was one of the most powerfully written scenes in the book. That combined with the ending just wrecked havoc on my emotions.
This was one of those books that was impossible to put down. Case in point: it was read, out loud, on a car ride to and from LA with my friend. (Yes, This was one of those books that was impossible to put down. Case in point: it was read, out loud, on a car ride to and from LA with my friend. (Yes, we are ridiculous)
Between the Lines is a story about an unknown actress getting cast in an expected blockbuster alongside Hollywood's Golden Boy. Throw in the actress ex-girlfriend who's also in the movie and an Indie actor, and you've got yourself a rich mixing of characters that bring this story to life.
Emma has done some commercials and a few made-for-TV movies, but when the chance comes along to star in a movie opposite Reid Alexander in a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, she's both wary (because she wants to be normal) and excited (hello, Reid Alexander). Upon meeting Reid, there's instant chemistry between the two.
Reid Alexander has grown up in Hollywood. He's young, rich and extremely famous. Everything he wants, he gets. Except Emma. Emma makes him work, and makes him question everything about himself in the process.
Then there's Graham. Graham is an indie actor who only agreed to do the movie as a support system for his friend Brooke, who used to date Reid. Graham is quiet and hardly reveals anything about himself. Also, is he with Brooke, or are they really just friends? And if he's with her, why is he flirting with Emma?
I know, you're probably thinking based on the plot alone, I've read this before. And you know what? Maybe you have. But I guarantee, not like this. Tammara Webber can write. Emma was extremely believable as a girl stuck in her situation. Did she piss me off? Yes. Did I cheer for her? Yes. She was real. She didn't get to see Reid's POV like we did, so her reactions were what any girl would have done.
Now for the guys. On one hand, you have Graham. And I can see why a majority of readers fall for him. He is sweet, and attentive, and generally a good person. I fell for Graham, he was definitely swoonworthy. [image]
However, weirdly enough, my heart ultimately lies with Reid. And honestly, I can't even explain it. Reid is arrogant, and egotistical, and a playboy, and just an all around jerk most of the times. He literally had me cracking up all the time. He just walked around like, [image] Oh, Reid...But there's that other part of the time where he's lost, and broken, and completely out of depth with what he's feeling: both for Emma and for himself as well. The whole book I wanted to both hug and hit him.
I'm honestly torn as to whom I want Emma to end up with and I cannot wait to see where this series goes. ...more

1. Gentlemen Send Phantoms by Lani Taylor:5 stars What a way to open the book! I've never read anything else by Lani Taylor but this made me want to. Such an adorable story of how a Prophecy leads girls to their match. And when it ended, I wanted MORE!
2. Burned Bright by Diana Peterfreund:1 star I did not like this story at all. The religious aspect of it totally turned me off right from the beginning, but I finished it.
3. The Angriest Man by Lisa McMann:3 stars I really liked the writing style of this one. It was a great storytelling, however, I did not understand the story at all.
4. Out of the Blue by Meg Cabot:3 stars Out of the Blue started off very interesting. A tale of twins who were recruited by another species to help further earth's advancements. But then it turned comical - which wasn't horrible because it kept me amused. Wasn't amazing, but entertaining.
5. One True Love by Malinda Lo:2 stars The writer created a very vivid storyline that was easy to follow. But it felt extremely dragged out and then the climatic ending scene a little over dramatic.
6. This Is a Mortal Wound by Michael Grant:2 stars Nothing special about this one. Told in a futuristic San Francisco where technology rules everything. The protagonist was arrogant and not likeable to me, made it hard to root for him.
7. Misery by Heather Brewer:3 stars I loved the start of this, the mysterious town of Mystery and the "gifts" its inhabitants receive each year. I really liked the character of Alek. I rooted for him when things got crazy...but then the ending happened, and it seemed like a cop-out when I figured out what it was. Took it down a star from it's original 4.
8. The Mind Is a Powerful Thing by Matt De La Pena:3 stars The neurotic tendencies of Joanna made this a fun read. She was so paranoid about her fortune of something bad happening to her that it affected everything she did. It wasn't deep, but the ending was interesting and made me want to know what happened to these characters after it was all done.
9. The Chosen One by Saundra Mitchell:4 stars This was a beautifully written story about taking another's fate into your own hands, and therefore changing yours. And I loved, loved, loved the character of Valerian. The ending actually had me grinning like a fool.
10. Improbable Futures by Kami Garcia:3 stars Okay plot. Kind of weirded me out by being set in a traveling circus (those things just creep me out), so I think that didn't help my focus while reading. But it was good, nothing special.
11. Death for the Deathless by Margaret Stohl:4 Loved the setting in France. The two main characters were both intriguing and I loved reading about both of them. The prophecy portion was slid in so under the radar, that by the time I fully understood what was happening, it was over.
12. Fate by Simone Elkeles:3 stars The story of Carson and Willow. Not sure what it really had to do with prophecies. But I enjoyed it. Was a cute little read.
13. The Killing Garden by Carrie Ryan:5 stars Wow. This story and it's setting. The relationship between father and daughter and Emperor and his "Gardener" and then Gardener and condemned. Everything about this story was just so good. I don't know why, but this story affected me a little more than the others.
14. Homecoming by Richelle Mead:4 stars And the story that everyone wanted the book for. I enjoyed this little glimpse into the lives of Rose and Dimitri. The return of some of the characters from Rose's time in Russia was also nice to see. I didn't find it amazing but it was a nice read. ...more
What a beautifully written novel. This was the first book I had read by Gregory and I will definitely be reading the others. She has this amazing way What a beautifully written novel. This was the first book I had read by Gregory and I will definitely be reading the others. She has this amazing way of transporting you back to the era of King Henry and Tudor style England.
Not going to lie, I am fascinated with European history and especially this age in England. While I know the facts surrounding Anne Boleyn, I loved seeing how Gregory filled in the blanks and told it from Mary's point of view. Yes, most was romanticized and moat was fiction, but it was based in fact. And this is what made it a great read.
I felt so bad for Mary Boleyn, a pawn in her family's dark ambitions. While she is not wholly innocent, she definitely comes across as the heroine to root for here. Married by 13, seducing the king by 14...all for the good of her family. I all but cheered when she finally put her foot down and married for love.
Anne Boleyn, on the other hand, what an evil woman. Her ambitions got the best of her and eventually that was what killed her. I felt little pity for her, more I felt pity for her life. All of her scheming and acting, at what cost? Her live, her love, her very own soul - not too mention the lives of multiple people who were beheaded because of her.
Then there was George Boleyn. While there was never any proof of incest between him and Anne, there was definitely talk about it. Gregory explores this with the secrets and the mysterious birth of the "monster" baby.
Such an interesting and intriguing read. I almost want to read it again because I feel like there was so much information, so much scandal, that I ultimately missed some play somewhere. ...more
If you don't know me, I'm going to tell you straight off that Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie. So when my friend gave me this book, I was If you don't know me, I'm going to tell you straight off that Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie. So when my friend gave me this book, I was immediately intrigued.
Holy shit was that intense. Briar Rose is the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but not the classic 'pricks her finger on a spindle, sleeps, wakes up by a prince's kiss' fairy tale we're all used to. This Sleeping Beauty is told in flashbacks by a grandmother to her grandchildren. It's only when the grandmother dies, that we begin to understand what the story meant.
Gemma, the grandmother, is Sleeping Beauty - a tale her grandchildren aren't too sure about. When Gemma passes away, Becca (the youngest grandchild) promises Gemma that she will find her grandmother's 'castle'. This promise sends Becca on a wild chase deep into her grandmother's past, a past that no one knows about. Through conversations with Jewish immigrants, interviews with concentration camp survivors, and ultimately ending in a trip to Poland, Becca begins to unravel the secret that was her grandmother.
Told as a fairy tale, but laced with historical undertones, Briar Rose takes what you think you know about Sleeping Beauty and merges it with a tale of survival and rescue from one of the most horrific concentration camps under Nazi rule.
I was unprepared for how this book made me feel. The haunting tale at the end will stay with me for awhile. But I am very glad that I read this. ...more
