Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell

India
fangirlCath is a girl who doesn’t necessarily like change. She has a hard time being amongst others in the real world, but what most don’t know is that she is completely unstoppable in the Fanfiction that she loves to write. For her fans she has kept going one of the most read book series of their time alive. With thousands of fans she found a place that is hers. While her first year at college everything is out place, her twin sister doesn’t want to be around her anymore, and is finding new friends, she doesn’t know how to be with her roommate, and her roommate’s boyfriend.
Oddly, I was surprised by this novel. I thought it was going to be so corny, I mean a girl who rights Fanfiction, mixed with a love story? It was not that at all. It was beautifully woven into something that talked about change, growing up, becoming more than we are, and learning what it is like to let others love you as well. I highly recommend reading Fangirl. Until next time,

Fifty Shades of Grey, E.L. James

India
fifty shades of greyWho knew stumbling into an office building to fill in for an interview for a friend would help you find the love of your life. Well, Anastasia had no idea what was in store for her the first day that she met Christian Grey, all she knew was that there was an electric charge between the two of them. What Anastasia, Ana, finds herself in is a world she did not know even existed. A world filled with mind numbing sex, and heart wrenching love. A world where her strengths were put to the test in more ways than she could imagine. Christian finds out that being a one of the richest guys on the planet, does not mean you have everything that you need. So much more happens in this trilogy than just the stomach turning sex.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. That’s all you can say after reading the first one. I did not know what to think about these books. I’ve heard so much about them, and have always meant to read them but never got around to it. Well I finally did and read all 3 in 5 days! They were so good and so addicting!! Of course I also had to finish the first one by the time the movie comes out this weekend! Luckily I finished it a week ahead of time. If you have not sat down to read them because of all of the “kinky fuckery” that is in the book, you’re missing out on the story behind the sex as well. Until next time,

The Paris Vendetta, Steve Berry

India
Paris Vendetta
Cotton Malone and his team are at it again. Someone in the world is threatening the balance of how it works, and of course Cotton finds himself  in the middle of it all. This one though is incredibly personal, and involves a complicated history for Thorvaldsen, Cotton’s best friend. Cotton does not know how deep his vendetta goes in terms of who is all involved and in what aspect. There are a lot of twists and turns, and a deeper history than anyone could imagine, Napoleon’s treasure is only a small part of what is in store.
As usual I loved Steve Berry’s story and I always think he does a great job of making history interesting. Interweaving fact with fiction. This one though did take me a lot longer to read for a lot of different reasons. I was starting a new job, there was school, I read some other things in between just a lot. If you’ve started the Cotton Malone series, just keep going. They keep getting more and more interesting. Until next time,

Merry Christmas to all…!

India

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!! I hope everyone enjoyed their time with loved ones, family, and friends. I hope everyone makes time to tell someone you love that you love them, and care about them, it could be the best present he or she receive.

My family is incredibly small, but we always have a wonderful time being with each other, cooking, eating, and exchanging gifts. Typically for me I always ask for an Amazon gift card for more books, but with me moving to a new apartment, I asked for apartment things, and I got a lot of them. With the way my Christmas break is going I should be finishing a lot more books and I can’t wait to see what I finish before the new year!!

Keep on the look out and Merry Christmas!

Until next time,
