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...

Updates I have now finished 6 books! (What!?) Well three of them were Fruits Basket manga, but hey they still count!

Challenge Today's challenge is to recommend a book for the following categories: Recommend a book good for a snow day Recommend a book good for a rainy day Recommend a book good for a beach day Recommend a book good for a spooky night Personally, I like to read classics or really big novels on snowy/rainy days so I'll give a classic recommendation for those and a more modern recommendation.  Snow Day     OR     I always love reading both of these around Christmas time.

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

Synopsis:  Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart. Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind. With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in ...

Scholastic Warehouse Haul (97 books!)

*The Scholastic Warehouse sale is a bi-yearly sale that occurs (quite obviously) at the warehouses of Scholastic across the country. The books are sold at half price or more the face value of the book and these sales are open to teachers, librarians, and other school volunteers...on a personal note, I've been going for years.* So last week I went back to the Scholastic Warehouse, where I had volunteered at the end of November, to use my vouchers that I had earned while volunteering. While volunteering you earn $20 in book vouchers per hour and I worked 17 hours so I got $340 in vouchers, and as you can tell by the title of this haul...I went overboard and got 52 books. For the non-volunteers the books are discounted but as a volunteer we must pay the full sticker price (however they are free from the vouchers so it all works out). Anyways, once I got to the sale the first section I came upon before going directly in to the warehouse was the $25 a box section. Basically, you try to...

So here's my spine poetry poem: Cruel Summer Unremembered Brave New World Close up and Personal Love? Maybe Dead Until Dark Rags and Bones Roomies Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl I wanted my poem to mainly consist of titles describing her and the life she led in the Secret Annex.
