Book Review: elevated Elana Johnson

ElevatedElevated by Elana Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read from December 18-19

Summary- The last person seventeen-year-old Eleanor Livingston wants to see on the elevator—let alone get stuck with—is her ex-boyfriend Travis, the guy she’s been avoiding for five months.

Plagued with the belief that when she speaks the truth, bad things happen, Elly hasn’t told Trav anything. Not why she broke up with him and cut off all contact. Not what happened the day her father returned from his deployment to Afghanistan. And certainly not that she misses him and still thinks about him everyday.

But with nowhere to hide and Travis so close it hurts, Elly’s worried she won’t be able to contain her secrets for long. She’s terrified of finally revealing the truth, because she can’t bear to watch a tragedy befall the boy she still loves.

Review – Elly has given up talking to Travis after what happened with Honesty until they get stuck in a elevator and there stuck talking about the past together . Elly is in love with Travis but he’s dating Honesty Elly’s best friend , Elly thinks every time she speaks bad things happen to the one’s she loves she also says allot of childhood songs like bubble gum bubble gum . I loved this book I love verse books it was 300 pages and felt like 100 I read it in a day and a half. I loved the story it was sad and shocking at points I didn’t like how Travis treated Elly after he broke up with Honesty he didn’t even tell Honesty he was with Elly like what the heck dude sn’t it enough you were into Elly but kept dating Honesty You don’t do that . what I found shocking was that Elly found out she was pregnant I was like what the hell . I felt bad for Travis is some parts like with his mom and oh my god Jesse he was into Elly also he took Elly to prom because Travis asked him to he was really nice to Elly he was a good friend to her and oh my god Honesty what happened to her was really bad . and when I we find out Elly lost the baby so sad Elly was planing on leaving for California and Elly and Travis left on good terms I loved this book.

Favorite quotes-
it’s torture to be reminded of his taste every time I peel an orange

some things are unforgivable some things erase a decade of memories some things obliterate a lifetime of plans .

Best friends can claim it’s forever when really it’s just until they grow tired of putting up with you .

But I can’t stay here without deliverance from the past.

Book Review: crossing the line katie mcgarry

Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limits, #1.1)Crossing the Line by Katie McGarry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

November 12- November 12

Summary – Katie McGarry captivated readers with her “riveting, emotional”* Young Adult debut, Pushing the Limits. In this gripping novella, she tells the story of Lila and Lincoln, who discover that sometimes it’s worth crossing the line for love…

Lila McCormick, Echo’s best friend from Pushing the Limits, first met Lincoln Turner when tragedy struck both their lives. But she never expected their surprise encounter would lead to two years of exchanging letters—or that she’d fall for the boy she’s only seen once. Their relationship is a secret, but Lila feels closer to Lincoln than anyone else. Until she finds out that he lied to her about the one thing she depended on him for the most.

Hurting Lila is the last thing Lincoln wanted. For two years, her letters have been the only thing getting him through the day. Admitting his feelings would cross a line he’s never dared breach before. But Lincoln will do whatever it takes to fix his mistakes, earn Lila’s forgiveness—and finally win a chance to be with the girl he loves.

Review – Lila is going to Florida for college and she thought someone was going to be coming with her but it turns out no Lincoln isn’t he lied to her Lincoln and Lila have been writing letters for two years when they met at Eco’s brother’s funeral and Lincoln’s brother died also they’ve fallen for each other Lila is still scared to go alone but when Lincoln comes all the way to make up with Lila she slams the door in his face but she was happy he brought her purple flowers her favorite when she sees someone she ends up calling Lincoln people think’s she nuts but it was a prank by her ex and she’s ready to get even Lincoln and Lila go stalk them get paintball them I loved that scene so funny I loved this novella it was so cute I love Lila and Lincoln as a couple . Lincoln had to go through allot to get where he was and so did Lila she was afraid to be alone they work for each other I do recommend you read this story but read pushing the limits first .

favorite quotes – If it wasn’t for Noah, Echo would need me more… she would still be insecure, she would still be obsessing over the scars on her arms. She possibly wouldn’t have recovered her memory of the night she got them. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be moving on with her life. Damn him for being a great guy.”

“The entire sky erupted into hundreds of streaks of light. I never felt so alive. I wished that you were here with me or me with you. But I think you were. Call me crazy, but it was a moment, Lila, and I’m glad I shared it with you. Even if it was from a couple hundred miles away. ~Lincoln

“Her kiss is soft and warm-inviting. We both explore, a hesitant dance as we glide over lines neither of us imagined crossing.”

Book Review: the unfinished life of Addison stone Adele Griffin

The Unfinished Life of Addison StoneThe Unfinished Life of Addison Stone by Adele Griffin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

October 29 – November 2

Summary – From the moment she stepped foot in NYC, Addison Stone’s subversive street art made her someone to watch, and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more. I conducted interviews with those who knew her best—including close friends, family, teachers, mentors, art dealers, boyfriends, and critics—and retraced the tumultuous path of Addison’s life. I hope I can shed new light on what really happened the night of July 28.

—Adele Griffin

review – addison stone a artist has died . I loved this story Addison had her problems and her family issues but she was a great artist this story is told in kind of a biography style told in some pictures . Addison. gets to new York after. awhile all we know about Addison is she died but she wasn’t murded she fell off the roof puting up her painting but before she had some problems she kept telling people that this ghost ida was haunting her Lucy Addy best friend finds a picture that Addison painted in the same position.

Lincoln and Addison were really good together I loved this book I read it really fast I do recommend you read this but it really isn’t a mystery.

Book Review: shadows Jennifer L. Armentrout

Shadows (Lux, #0.5)Shadows by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

July 17- 24

Summary -The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.

Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence…and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

Review- This is the prequel to Obsidian in dawson’s point of view when he meets bethany . I loved this novella Bethany is new and town and Dawson notices her right of way he feels different he’s never felt that way about a human so they start talking and finally go on a date and then one day when they are kissing he lights up and has to explain he’s an alien that’s awkward and she still likes him Sexy alien Haha I loved the family in this Dawson Daemon and Dee I loved how protective of each other they were and there were allot of funny parts when Bethany almost dies and Dawson has to heal her and her glow doesn’t go away the arum show right up and they are in big danger the end made me sad and angry I still don’t like those DOD there the bad guys here along with the arum and the DOD show up at there house and tell Dee and Daemon that Bethany and Dawson died oh god I loved this series so much .

Favorite quotes –
“You’re brother is all excitable this morning,” Daemon said. “For school. There’s something inherently wrong with that.”
Dawson smirked. “There’s something inherently wrong with the fact that Dee and I have to stand here and talk to you while you’re in your boxers.”

I love you, Dawson. I love who you are, what you are. And I don’t think love recognizes differences. It just is. And we really aren’t that different

Ash twisted toward Daemon, her cheeks flushed. “I can’t believe you’re allowing him to do this. Next thing we know, you’ll be dating a human.”
Daemon busted out laughing. “Yeah, not going to happen.”

Book Review: attachments rainbow rowell

AttachmentsAttachments by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

July 12-16

Summary-“Hi, I’m the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you . . . ”

Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It’s company policy.) But they can’t quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.

Meanwhile, Lincoln O’Neill can’t believe this is his job now- reading other people’s e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers- not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.

When Lincoln comes across Beth’s and Jennifer’s messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can’t help being entertained-and captivated-by their stories.

By the time Lincoln realizes he’s falling for Beth, it’s way too late to introduce himself.

What would he say . . . ?

Review- Lincoln works at the newspaper where he reads emails to see if there are flags of bad things he starts reads Jennifer and Beth’s emails and he feels bad for reading them but he likes there emails . Lincoln lives with his mom and his sister thinks he should move out . I loved this book I did think it was a little weird he was getting paid to read emails but I liked Lincoln as a person he’s sweet and he cares Beth and Jen start talking about Lincoln as my cute guy I thought it was cute I loved Beth and Jen there great friends when Jen gets pregnant even though she didn’t want to get pregnant I loved how before she was pregnant she was buying baby clothes at the gap but then something really bad happens. Beth’s sister wedding was interesting Beth and her boyfriend broke up oh and Jen lost the baby so sad but Jen meets Lincoln he helps her with her tire how sweet. so Lincoln ends up quitting and he gives Beth a letter telling her everything . Beth and Lincoln officially meet at a movie theater then they end up talking Jen did get pregnant so cute they got together this book was super cute I loved it.

Quote –
Lincoln?” she asked.
“Yes?”
“Do you believe in love at first sight?”
He made himself look at her face, at her wide-open eyes and earnest forehead. At her unbearably sweet mouth.
“I don’t know,” he said. “Do you believe in love before that?”
Her breath caught in her throat like a sore hiccup.
And then it was too much to keep trying not to kiss her.”

There are moments when you can’t believe something wonderful is happening. And there are moments when your entire consciousness is filled with knowing absolutely that something wonderful is happening.

Book Review: reasonable doubt Whitney g

Reasonable Doubt: Volume 1 (Reasonable Doubt, #1)

Reasonable Doubt: Volume 1 by Whitney G.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Read may 15-may 15
Summary –

As a high profile lawyer, I don’t have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.

My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.

This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least it was , until “Alyssa”…

She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.

But then she came into my firm for an interview—a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed..

Review- Andrew sleeps around alot and he hates liars we don’t really know why he hates liars but he does he only talks to the girl for a week buys her dinner sleeps with her and then he’s done with her .Now I’m not going to say Andrew is a decent guy he isn’t but he is sexy as hell , Andrew is friends with Alyssa they have never met even though andrew does Alyssa is really audrey she’s 22 and a ballet dancer and she’s going to intern with Andrew when she’s at the place she’s going to intern there eyes meet and she blushes he knows it’s her and well it doesn’t end well over there relationship he’s rude to her because he hates liars and that’s really ritch coming from him he tells her that he knows she’s trying to explain but he doesn’t care she leaves and then he comes to her home and they sleep together the next day he says it was a mistake and they fool around again and then she throws coffee on him because his wife if waiting for him what that was not something I was expecting for someone who hates liars I can’t wait to read the next one it comes out tomorrow .

Book Review: bossypants Tina fey

BossypantsBossypants by Tina Fey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read from April 15-16
Summary

Before Liz Lemon, before “Weekend Update,” before “Sarah Palin,” Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey’s story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we’ve all suspected: you’re no one until someone calls you bossy.

(Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)

Review – What I thought of this book was it was funny I read it with the audiobook and I was laughing crazy I just started watching 30 rock and I wanted to read this and I loved it it was funny and witty and I loved it go read it and Tina fey is awesome .

Fav quote“Right up until camera time, I was sweaty and green from having to touch my own eyeballs like that. If you’ve never had to do it, I’d say it’s not as quease-making as when you lose your first tampon string, but equally as queasish to a self-breast exam. If you are male, I would liken it to touching your own eyeball, and thank you for buying this book.”
