BOOK: Blue Sky Days

Blue Sky Days
By Marie Landry

Blue Sky Days

Summary

A year after graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother - studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life, she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy, Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

It's a story that will break your heart and mend it all over again.

Blues sky days is such a wonderful book. it somehow make you believe that everything is possible with love. i cried a lot while reading the book. and when i say a lot it means a lot! The story thought me how life is short  that you can be happy at first then sorrowful the next. the book will teach you how to see life in a different light. and make you realize that you should not take life for granted, and just make the most out of it.

Emma, is such a lonely girl. she doesn't feel love, especially by the one who should love her most, but, coming to Riverview she learned a lot of things. like how life should really be, how happiness is just around the corner waiting for her. i just lover her for being strong, and knowing what she wants in the end. i love her for loving Nicholas so much and never giving up on him and that she became his foundation when he really needed her.

Nicholas, is such a sweet sweet boy,his just so full of life and love, i love his sweetness towards Emma and everybody else. and even when his going through something that really heavy his sense of humor is still in tact. and his just so strong and very positive.

Daisy, is just fun and lovable. you'll just love her no matter what.

Tilly, is just plain MEAN.

Vince and Maggie, i think are the sweetest friends and they're just so warm.

Read it, You'll love it.

BOOK: Beautiful Disaster

Beautiful Disaster
By Jamie McGuire



Summary

The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’ apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Can i just say that i Love Love it.

Finished reading the book while i was on break from work and in between, yes, I'm reading while working.

The couple had a weird way of showing they're love for each other, but, i love that they went to through hell and back and still love each other. i love how strong they're relationship is even though its bringing them close to insanity. they really are a beautiful disaster.

Travis is one character that you wont forget. i feel that Travis can bring out things in you that you are not aware off, and at times i feel that his close to insanity. but, you'll just love him no matter what.

Abby is a character you'll love and hate. because at times i was frustrated with her, that i feel she should have said somethings but, she didn't and they just both got hurt in the end but, in the end you'll just love her because she grew through out the book.

Mare and Shep they have this really balanced relationship and i love Mare as Best Friend she's very sweet and loving.

Finch and so lovable, mini role but, big impact.

The book was Amazing. its so good that you wouldn't want to put it down.

Read it. You'll love it.

BOOK: Predestined (Existence #2)

Predestined (Existence #2)
By Abbi Glines

You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder.

The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul.

Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.

It's 3:13 am. And I just finished reading predestined. And I just want to say that it's fabulous, fantastic and amazingly good!

Predestined has more definition, the characters personality grew that your able to understand and love them more.

I love dank and how she loves pagan, that his willing to fight anyone for her. Even the voodoo king, and the soul that she's supposed to be with. He just take my breath away.

I love pagan, with everything that is happening to her she's trying to stay strong. And I love that when the voodoo king, was killing some of her love ones for the the exchange, she's willing to sacrifice her self and her love, with that I think she became fearless.

Leif, at first I hated him. I didn't understand why he was doing things that he was doing. I believe in the saying when love someone you have to understand them, and in the end when he did the thing he did. I started to love him. ( he should get his own book. Just saying)

Abbi Glines you are amazing. Another wonderful and beautiful book from you.

I can't wait for ceaseless.

Read it. You'll love it.

It was good.

when i first saw it i didn't know it was a modern day retelling of Cupid and Psyche, it just spark the interest in me, but, i didn't read it right away i was still thinking if i should read it. but, one day i was scanning some reviews and learned that its a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, since i am a sucker for Greek myth i read it right away and it did not disappoint.

I like how the retelling goes. i love how the simple the story goes and its very easy to understand. if some people doesn't like modern retelling of old stories, well, i do. it just give me something to think about like if this really happened in the original story it will be better, it will keep you thinking the "what ifs?

the romance is really fast. i felt that its really destiny.

i love how they try to protect each other from each other, i love they love each other yet they're trying to spare each other.

i love Lorona's name and how it was explained, its somehow mysterious and intriguing.

i love how the story played out, how they realize that they are really for each other.

Read it. You'll love it.

Lucas was DREAM. his so understanding and sweet and charming and all that. i love how he sees his relationship and how he just clicks with everybody.

Spencer and Collin are sweet, they just understand whats going around them and how they want to help and they're just so sweet.

Bailey and Morgan are the coolest friends. i love how Bailey is honest and straight to the point and i love Morgan whose nice and sweet, level headed and very in tact with her moral. the 3 of them just click even though they have different personalities.
