Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

Happy Movie Year!

It is officially 2013! I am stoked about this year and the books hitting theaters! Here are a few I'm really looking forward to; I know there are probably more but these caught my eye.

Just note that most information was found on IMDB's website and could change.
Titles are organized by release date.

Warm Bodies February 1, 2013


A zombie love story based on the book Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I am really looking forward to this one, even not having read the book yet!










Beautiful Creatures February 13, 2013

I am a huge fan of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Gatlin County! The Caster Chronicles is one of my favorite series and I'm very anxious to see it come to life. I'm not especially crazy about the leading actors but Emmy Rossum is playing Ridley, and I'm excited about that.









The Host March 29, 2013

Ok. So, Stephanie Meyer is not my favorite author but I do like her books, as long as I just enjoy them for what they are. I enjoyed The Host, but only about the last 25%. It was soooo hard to get into and took me months to finally finish. Normally I'd stay away from the movie for that fact but, the movie trailer makes this one look pretty good. I will be giving it a try. 







The Great Gatsby May 10, 2013


I am a HUGE Baz Luhrmann fan and with a cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Isla Fisher this film based on the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald looks great.







Continue reading for information on more films!



World War Z June 21, 2013

World War Z by Max Brooks is another book I own and have yet to check out. I like Brad Pitt and think this one looks pretty freaking awesome.









The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones August 23, 2013


First of all Jamie Campbell Bower is growing on me for Jace, still not 100% on board but getting there. Johnathan Rhys Meyers as Valentine? That I LIKE! Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series is fantastic and one I definitely recommend reading, especially before the film comes out. Cannot wait for the Shadowhunters on the big screen!







Ender's Game November 1, 2013
Couldn't find a movie poster
But, here's the book cover.

I own this book, in more than one format, and have yet to read it. Why haven't I read it? Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is one of the top books to film I am looking forward to for this year! HOPEFULLY, I'll get to the book before then...










Catching Fire November 22, 2013


This one is pretty much a no brainer. I love Suzanne Collins and just wanna squeeze her! The Hunger Games trilogy is EPIC.










There are so many more that are rumored to be out this year or next, and many more in planning stages.

A few of the rumors I've heard are for: Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan, Fallen by Lauren Kate and many more.

Blog Tour: And I Darken by Kiersten White

Top Ten YA Books That Use Genre to Tell True Stories My favorite genres are the ones that use non-real-world elements, such as sci-fi, dystopian, fantasy, and historical fiction. When done right, it’s exactly those larger-than-life elements that tell the truest parts of the story. I wanted to examine how good people get to the point where they can commit atrocities in the name of their goals. Using a gender-swapped, notorious historical figure made an odd sort of sense. I could explore everything I wanted to, but on a grand, lavish scale. And even though And I Darken is set in the 1400s, the parallels to today’s political and cultural climate are inescapable. I hope it feels visceral and familiar, in spite of the centuries between us. In that vein, I selected ten books I feel use their genre to tell the truest, most timely stories they can. 1–2. Alexandra Duncan’s SALVAGE and SOUND Both of these books are sci-fi, set in the future where space travel and even colonization are a reality

Weekly Round-Up 9/2

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library. This week I'm reading Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard and then finishing The Cuckoo's Calling and listening to The Peculiar by Stefan Bachmann, read by Peter Altschuler. I'm reading Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Lab   by Bob Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith with my son right now. I think I will start featuring the chapter and middle grade books we are reading together. Last week I reviewed She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia… Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is d

Review: Change Places With Me by Lois Metzger

Review: CHANGE PLACES WITH ME is a quiet, unassuming book that will unfortunately slip by a lot of readers. But it's a subtly disturbing book that makes you pause and think and wonder. Lois Metzger's beautifully written prose is haunted and almost lyrical. This book is definitely ... different. I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I started it, but I don't think it was this. It was a pleasant surprise. This book can only be described as a mystery shrouded in an enigma.  It's a fairly fast read, but I loved taking my time and savoring over the course of an afternoon. Metzger's writing and her heroine, Rose, are compelling and make for a great narrative. ABOUT CHANGE PLACES WITH ME: Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood with her stepmother and goes to the same high school with the same group of kids, but when she woke up today, something was just a little different than it was before. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. He
