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...

The Secret

The Secret

Book Collectors Tag!

It's been about 8 months since I've done a tag, and I ran across this one on Youtube and love it! So here we go!

1. How many books do you own?
Is too many an answer? Because I have 423 *gasp* and that doesn't even count all my old children's books!

2. How long has it taken you to accumulate your collection?
I've been reading since I was probably in pre-school and before that, so basically all my life! As for the YA books though? Those have been collected since like 6th or 7th grade I guess (seeing as how I'm a senior in high school now that's a good amount of time).

3. How often do you buy books?
Once a week? *cringe* I know I buy WAY too many, but my used bookstore has such good sales! (like how last week I got 12 books all for $1! How do you beat that!?) But I'm trying to ban myself right now I promise!

4. What is the first book you remember buying?
I honestly don't remember. But I do have extremely fond memories of browsing Borders, used bookstores on vacation, and just other nerdy stuff that would completely bore you to tears.

5. Last book that you purchased?
Here's the whole long list you can see, because trust me, it is never just one book...

6. Longest book you own?
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell it's 1024 pages! (And I've read it! Great book!)

7. Shortest book you own?
Ben Franklin and the Magic Squares by Frank Murphy it's a whopping 48 pages! I've had this book since a kid and couldn't bear to part with it after all these years..

Hope you enjoyed!
See you soon!

The House of Hades by Rick Riodian (The Heroes of Olympus #4) (audio)

Annabeth and  Percy are stuck in Tartarus, making their way to the Doors of Death. Meanwhile, the rest of the group are going to find the doors in the mortal world to save them. I always enjoy the Olympus books even if the action can be predictable. Predictable is fine as long as it isn't formulaic. And if the characters are good, then predictable is less predictable and more comfortable. Because we've been with Annabeth and Percy through one series and now partway through another we know how they will react to situations with Annabeth trying to talk her way out and Percy trying to fight his way out. So it's easy to see that they are going to get out of Tartarus using their skills. On the other side of the Doors are the rest of  the demigods who are making their way to mortal side in order to rescue Annabeth and Percy and then close them on their side therefore making Gaia unable to summon more monsters and making her weaker. I feel like we get more of Leo and Hazel than an...

Review: Die For You by Amy Fellner Dominy

Review: Ah, teenage love. The intensity, the newness, the obsessive way it takes over your life. This powerful and chilling tale of love gone wrong will haunt you for weeks to come after you close the cover. What starts as a sweet romance slowly, horrifyingly turns bad when Emma and Dillon collide. Watching Dillon slowly become darker and more obsessive, more abusive is horrifying, but Amy Fellner Dominy does a beautiful job of show how organic and natural something that seems so right can twist into something so, so wrong. DIE FOR YOU is that book you want teens to read. You want them to see how easy it is to be blinded by the stars in your eyes. 1 in 11 students report being physically harmed by their date ( KidsHealth.org ). This isn't a problem that's going away, but it is one that needs to be discussed more. This was my first book by Amy Fellner Dominy and it won't be my last. I love the way she tells a story, letting the characters carry the bulk of the book and keepi...
