Review: hush,hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Image
I recently finished hush,hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It was hard to resist with that cover and the two chapter tease I had months ago. It took me a while to finally get the book but once I started I could not stop. I read on a lot of blogs that it was too much like Twilight, but to me, while there was similarities, it was certainly its own book. Here's the summary: For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a t...

Books, books and more books! :)

I know it's been a while since i've been on, and so I apoligize. I have had a lot going on with school and work! But today is my 21st birthday so lucky for me I am not working. I did have a test this morning and I have to complete a paper before midnight but I digress, tonight will be fun! I went to Border's last week and picked up some new books. I FINALLY got hush,hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I have been waiting months to read this book, and even though I have had it for a week I still haven't been able to read it. Very frustrating. Anyways, I also got a book called house of dark shadows by Robert Liparulo, its the first in a series which already has an additional three books out and the fifth one is being released in January so I will be starting that after I finish the other two books I want to read. I also picked up the first book in The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Eight Grade Bites, by Heather Brewer. Looks like a very good book and series. I'm very into series....

Something new!

Image
I just started reading a book called Behind Every Illusion by author Christina Harner. The cover art is amazing and the first chapter was good enough to keep me interested so that's definately a plus. I received a review copy from the author herself off of Librarything, this is the third book i've gotten for free to review so everyone should go sign up it's a great deal. It hasn't been published, well the review copies have but the final editions haven't. Anyways I will be posting a review and an interview with Christina after I finish. Also on a positive note.... I just got accepted to UAlbany!!! Yay for me, I am still waiting for word on one other school I applied to where I want to complete my Bachelor's degree. I am very excited to be moving on. That's all for today! Sherry

New used Books!

Yesterday I went to a book sale at my public library! OMG! I got three bags of used books for 8 dollars! I got so much stuff, I don't think any young adult but I still got a lot of great ones. Here's some of my good finds: Deception Point by Dan Brown The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain The Rainmaker by John Grisham Prey by Micheal Chricton The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Sparks and so much more! I also got some movies for my niece and one for myself! I never knew the library did these sales but I will be going from now on, the next one is in Feburary! :) I'm not really reading anything pacific at the moment, so much school work and work in general. I will pick up something good soon, probably Hush, Hush tomorrow! :)

Kissed by an Angel Review

Image
I heard from someone, i'm not sure who, that Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler was an awesome book. I was looking for suggestions so I went to Border's and picked it up, three books in one for 10 bucks! Not bad, and neither was the book. By looking at the cover and reading it I would have never guessed it was written in 1994! Say what! Yes, so here is the summary and i'll follow that with a review! Kissed by an Angel By: Elizabeth Chandler A brief summary of all three books(in the one book): An angelic romantic suspense trilogy in one volume! "Kissed by an Angel": Ivy and Tristan have the love of a lifetime--until Tristan dies in a car accident. Now Tristan returns as an angel, but Ivy is unable to feel his presence. "The Power of Love": Tristan has learned that the person responsible for the car crash is after Ivy. Can he cross the boundaries of life and death to warn Ivy that she is in trouble? "Soulmates": Tristan must rescue Ivy, bu...

Lack of reading, surplus of shows...

Amazingly I haven't had time to pick up a book in the past three days. Yes I know it's all very sad. I believe I am having some type of withdrawls from my lack of reading. I need some ideas for some really good books. I know there are some out there! I need to be in the mood for a book to pick it up and nothing is appealing to me right now so send me some ideas of new or old books that you really loved because I need something new to read! Thanks everyone. Away from books for the moment, there are so many great shows on television this fall. On Mondays I have Heroes, Gossip Girls, House and I believe Trauma is also on Mondays but I watch that on demand. Wednesdays has Mercy and So you think you can dance? Thursdays has Vampire Diaries, which I am loving even though it is very different from the books. Sunday has Dexter and Three Rivers. There's more I just can't think right now. My mind is clouding just thinking about all the shows I have to watch just to catch up. Oh w...
