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

And I'm back...

Yes, yes. I know I announced I was closing shop but I missed it too much. I hate when bloggers do this but here I am under a different name. New year, new things, right? So I'm going to try this again. I really liked book blogging but I didn't like feeling pressure. It was pressure I put on myself to review constantly and I know that won't happen again. This is a hobby, not a profession so I'm going to review as I read and maybe even read and not review. But still I'm happy to be back, no matter how it goes. It's good to have an outlet.

A long time coming

I think that it's time I called it quits officially. I really do wish I could keep book blogging. I think about it after I finish a book and I think about the review I'd write. But the truth is that I don't have the willpower to get it done anymore. I enjoyed my time blogging and I'd like to pick it back up one day. But that day is not today and it won't be for a long time. So thanks for reading along with me and for reading this whatever followers I may still have. I like to share photos of what I'm reading on Instagram if you ever wonder what I'm up to. But this is just a note to say that  I appreciate it all. It's been a good time.

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year! I'm day late but I spent most of yesterday in the ER with my youngest (she's fine) and that was exhausting. I have been getting a little reading done lately. And I've been thinking about picking up reviews again. I've been reading Mary Kay Andrews and enjoying her fun, quirky characters. I'm about to start Blue Lily, Lily Blue. I've also got my son interested in audio books and he's become a fan of the Peter and the Starcatchers series. So that's been fun!

Hello

I realized the other day that I haven't posted anything, not even a Weekly Round-Up for a while but I was surprised to see that my last post was August 20th. Where did that time go? It's been super busy lately at home and at work so I have been neglecting my hobbies including sadly, reading, and this blog. But it's all cool though. I'll be back soon, I'm sure. I never can stay away for too long.
