&lt;b&gt;Its almost Christmas... Its almost 2019... The past few years I&#39;ve been MIA a lot.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been going through a lot in my personal life.&amp;nbsp; My mom passed away, and than almost every few months after that I&#39;ve lost another family member.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve also been having a lot of medical issues. Its been a rough few years but I&#39;m ready to start reading again. I love reading and I enjoy it so much. I miss it. I&#39;m excited about all the books I can read that have came out in the past few years from favorite authors and new authors!!&amp;nbsp; Its exciting really to think about!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;So you&#39;ll be seeing new posts from me soon!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Merry Christmas and I hope this reading year rocks!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer every known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister, Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means cimbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then, Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

And as dark secrets are revealed, Kamzin must unravel the truth about their mission and her companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever faced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I want to read again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;We are introduced to Kamzin and her sister Lusha. Both sisters are so different yet they share a bond even if a little estranged at times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;A boy comes to town named River Shara to find a girl to take him on an expedition through a deadly mountain and he thought he had chosen the right girl until he meets Kamzin. &amp;nbsp;He’s on the hunt for a sacred treasure and it’s up to him to find it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Honestly, I feel like if I tell you too much of the plot, I’ll ruin the story completely. &amp;nbsp;I especially liked when the two meant each other! HA! This one has so much going on, I never knew what was going to happen next. Thats a good thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I liked all the characters it seemed. I liked him, but I also liked Kamzin. I also liked her best friend. &amp;nbsp;I even liked the not so good guys. This one was just a fun read. I always felt like I was right there with them exploring and seeing new things. &amp;nbsp;And I really liked how things turned out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Overall: &amp;nbsp;I really enjoyed this one. I liked the setting a lot too. I liked feeling like I was in the tent with them, or going up the mountain. Or through the woods. &amp;nbsp;I really enjoyed this one! &amp;nbsp;Great characters and great plot! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

She&#39;s all about hard work and planning ahead. But one night, on a whim, she buys a lottery ticket. And then, to her astonishment --&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

No more stressing about college scholarships. Suddenly, she&#39;s talking about renting a yacht. And being in the spotlight at school is fun... until rumors start flying, and random people ask her for loans. Now, Maddie isn&#39;t sure who she can trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It was one of my most wanted books of the year of course! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

She goes after what she wants even though she’s a bit shy. She is motivated yet she isn’t very social. Well, except for her small group of friends. &amp;nbsp;She also loves working around animals and works at a zoo. &amp;nbsp;She loves her job and it doesn&#39;t hurt there&#39;s a cute boy who also works there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

She treats herself to a little gift and she ends up with a huge surprise!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

So sweet!! I think I loved most how she worked at a zoo and a lot of the small conversations with a certain boy took place there. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I don’t think it was my favorite West book but it still fits into one of my favorite all time books. It was a cute story with a bit deeper lesson. Add some romance, friends, family and you have a great combination. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Her beloved grandmother has been put into a home, her dad’s gambling addiction has flared back up and now her worst enemy is back in town: Wesley James, former childhood friend—until he ruined her life, that is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

She’s determined to remove him from her life and even the score all at once—by getting him fired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

When Quinn finds herself falling for him, she has to decide what she wants more: to get even, or to just get over it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Sounded interested and a fun light read.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

It&#39;s a job and she needs money right now. It isn’t perfect but it&#39;s okay for her. She goes to work, does her job, and goes home and copes with the rest of her life. She is dealing with her grandmother not remembering her and being put in a nursing home. She has a tough life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

His name is Wesley and Quinn has quite the past with him. She basically hates his guts and doesn’t want anything to do with him because of their past. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

All I could see was this sweet boy who was trying. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

It was still a fast light read and I did like certain parts more than others. I’d still recommend it, it probably just isn’t my top read of the year! But you also have to remember, contemps are my cup of tea!! So I read a lot of them! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Even after her mother&#39;s death, she leaves letters at her grave. It&#39;s the only way Juliet can cope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Soon, he&#39;s opening up to a perfect stranger, and their connection is immediate. But neither Declan nor Juliet knows that they&#39;re not actually strangers. When life at school interferes with their secret life of letters, sparks will fly as Juliet and Declan discover truths that might tear them apart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I may cry the whole time writing it. I basically cried most of the time reading it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

She visits the cemetery and leaves her mom a note. Because she always wrote her mom notes. She’s dealing with her death the best way she knows possible. &amp;nbsp;But when someone responds to the note, it&#39;s a whirlwind of emotions for Juliet. That was a private note, why would anyone even write back? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

He’s a good guy, but doesn’t have the best past. People are afraid of him. &amp;nbsp;I fell for him from the start. He was such a good character and I just knew he had a big heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

They have both been through so much. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

But if you’ve lost a parent I do believe it makes it just so much more emotional. I’ve lost both parents now. And its rough. I could feel everything Juliet was feeling. I could see the pain. I could feel the pain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

It was addicting and beautiful, yet it made me cry. It made me happy seeing how much they start to care for each-other, but it’s also heartbreaking to see Juliet go through everything she has. &amp;nbsp;Add this to your TBR now!!!! I’d definitely give this one 5 cupcakes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I just don’t think the cover gives it justice!!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Or that she’s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she’s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth—a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis. But life is whole lot messier than the movies, especially when Bailey discovers that tricky fine line between hate, love, and whatever-it-is she’s starting to feel for Porter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The choice is both simpler and more complicated than she realizes, because Porter Roth is hiding a secret of his own: Porter is Alex…Approximately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s a little inconvenient for her social life but it’s also a chance to find the boy she’s been crushing on through the internet. She’s been chatting with a boy across the country for quite a while and she does kind of want to hunt him down! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

This was really fun! I liked experiencing it with her! It was so intriguing and a lot of work! &amp;nbsp;She also meets a boy there and she despises him at first but once she gets to know him, things go a different way. I loved getting to know Porter and all that there was to him!! But this definitely puts a halt in her finding her dream mystery boy! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I enjoyed seeing what was going to happen next and read it in a day. One of those that you sit down and can’t stop! I really really enjoyed this one, and that ending, whoa!

Each had their ups and downs to their personalities. &amp;nbsp;I really enjoyed the plot of this one. &amp;nbsp;Wil’s dad isn’t who everyone thought he was, and there was more to the story. And when it all comes out, Wil knows what he must do and it’s hard for him. It’s hard to really even admit his dad wasn’t the perfect guy everyone thought he was. And Wil is afraid he’ll be just like him. &amp;nbsp;This one was complicated as heck! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But that’s before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn’t know much about Dax except that he’s trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye. As he and Autumn first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn’s old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax’s side?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the legendary, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

So, Tella enlists a mysterious sailor’s help to whisk Scarlett away to this year’s show. But as soon as the trio arrives, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But she nonetheless soon becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with her sister, with Legend, and with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Scarlet always has been so protective of Tella. Their father has a habit of punishing them for the most ridiculous things and he’s brutal. &amp;nbsp;They have heard things about Caraval, a place like no other. Stories from their family that they must explore. So, Scarlett has written to the master of Caraval many times with no response. But she finally hears back, finally! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It’s a game full of surprises, mysteries, and nobody really knows much about it. Not really. There are stories of course. And the winner gets a wish. Any wish they want. It’s magic. It’s amazing. &amp;nbsp;Scarlett gets an invitation to play along with a guest, which is meant to be her soon to be husband. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It’s crazy. We also meet a few different boys. And the person who organizes it all, Legend. I wasn’t sure what to think about him as we never really know him or who he is. Just stories. And then another boy who I absolutely fell in love with. He was so sweet yet so dangerous. Whoa. Swoony! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

So when Paul Vogel, a German prisoner of war, is assigned as the new farmhand, Lorna is appalled. How can she possibly work alongside the enemy when her own brothers are risking their lives for their country?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

The more she learns about him—from his time in the war to his life back home in Germany—the more she sees the boy behind the soldier. Soon Lorna is battling her own warring heart. Loving Paul could mean losing her family and the life she’s always known. With tensions rising all around them, Lorna must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice before the end of the war determines their fate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I’ve read a bunch and only liked a few. But when I read the description of this one, it just pulled me in so I decided to give it a chance. And I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

It’s not really surprising since her brothers are away fighting in the war. She just wants them back home to her safely. Lorna also has a best friend. I kind of liked her, I kind of didn’t. She just was kind of dense and I know back then it was more normal for the husband or soon to be husband to be in charge of things but it just bugged me. &amp;nbsp;Lorna herself was a strong character though and I’m glad that her friend did eventually come around. I also liked her family and the other characters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

He’s in charge of helping her with some of the duties and picking up where the last worker left off. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I liked him so much from the get go. He sure wasn’t perfect physically or emotionally but I liked him instantly. Just something about him that drew me right in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I liked seeing how having him there really impacted the people around him. But he wasn’t a bad guy at all!!!! And I liked the way him and Lorna got along. I was just really drew into this one even though its historical and wanted to know what would happen next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Summary: &amp;nbsp;Years ago, Clara survived a vicious bear attack. She&#39;s used to getting sympathetic looks around town, but meeting strangers is a different story. Yet her dreams go far beyond Knik, Alaska, and now she&#39;s got a secret that&#39;s both thrilling and terrifying--an acceptance letter from Columbia University. But it turns out her scars aren&#39;t as fixable as she hoped, and when her boyfriend begins to press for a forever commitment, she has second thoughts about New York. Then Rhodes, a student teacher in her English class, forces her to acknowledge her writing talent, and everything becomes even more confusing--especially with the feelings she&#39;s starting to have about him. Now all Clara wants to do is hide from the tough choices she has to make. When her world comes crashing down around her, Clara has to confront her problems and find her way to a decision. Will she choose the life of her dreams or the life that someone she loves has chosen? Which choice is scarier? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;My Thoughts: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I liked this one, I did, but I didn’t fall in love with it as I hoped I would. We are introduced to Clara who is a survivor. She survived a pretty bad bear attack and she has scars on her face and other places. She’s brave and confident even though she does want to change her scars. Make them better. Less noticeable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;We also meet a boy named Rhodes. He comes over to her house a lot and visits her father. He’s also a student teacher. This makes it a bit awkward for Clara. &amp;nbsp;Clara also has a boyfriend. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;As Clara and Rhodes get to know each other, they start to develop feelings for each other. But Clara is very religious so doesn’t want to do anything with her boyfriend but with Rhodes it’s different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I don’t know. I just never felt the connection really with Rhodes. I didn’t love him, liked him,, but just not “enough” I guess. I read a lot of romance so this one just wasn’t everything I wanted it to be. Hopefully you’ll like it more than me! &amp;nbsp;I think Perry books are going to be a hit or miss with me because I did really like the first one of hers I read. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

I hope the next Perry book I read, I enjoy more. I did finish it but it wasn’t one of my favorites of the year. Or will be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she flees Kenettra with her sister to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies.

Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her.

We are back with Adelina and her band of misfits! Except this time, some of those misfits aren’t her people anymore and have turned against her. &amp;nbsp;Now Adelina must find new friends to help her through. &amp;nbsp;This was one of the best parts for me. I loved seeing the new people she choose to befriend. All with such distinct personalities and I love their powers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I loved it probably more than the first book. I really loved one of the new guys. I’m sure you can guess which one. He was so distinct and I didn’t always know if he liked her or not. I never knew what was really going on in his mind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Both girls are so much alike but so different. &amp;nbsp;Lissa is a sort of princess, royalty and Rose is somewhat of a protector of Rose. They go good together as friends, and partners (kind of). &amp;nbsp;They mean a lot to one another. Well, they are on the run but get caught and get sent back to their Private school (was it)? &amp;nbsp;I really liked the school plot. It was basically like a boarding school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Especially Christian and Dimitri. Oh Dimitri. I knew the moment I met him I would really like him. I liked his personality but I also liked that he was tough. For some reason, I always thought Lissa would date Christian, from the little bit of spoilers I’ve heard. I’m glad it was Rose who liked him though. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

So Sierra lives two lives: her life in Oregon and her life at Christmas. And leaving one always means missing the other. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But Sierra sees beyond Caleb&#39;s past and becomes determined to help him find forgiveness and, maybe, redemption. As disapproval, misconceptions, and suspicions swirl around them, Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else: true love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She has a few best friends and school. But during a few months of the year they pick up and go to their Christmas tree farm and sell trees to the locals! So cute! I loved seeing her pick out trees and sell them to the families that came in. I also loved her mom and dad. So cute.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Some say Flynn’s a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck—now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world’s gaze.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker—a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He’ll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don’t dare touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It’s not a bad book by any means, I just couldn’t get into it and I had to push myself to finish it. &amp;nbsp;And I really liked the others in this series so far. Hopefully I like the next book by these authors more. &amp;nbsp;And, a lot of 4 or 5 star reviews for this one, so my guess is it was just my reading mood and I just had a harder time connecting with these characters!! Be sure to give this one a chance especially if you’ve already read the others in this series. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We start the story right there in her head. She’s out in the middle of nowhere just trying to get to her destination and it’s not easy. Especially since she meets some unsavory characters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Tarik is the newly king and he has so much responsibility to take over. He must find spectorium but Princess Sepora is the one who can only make it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Page after page, I wanted to know what happened next.. But the problem was, it went from Sepora’s point of view right to Tarik’s and we’d have to wait a while to see what happened next in the other’s world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

How is that possible? It was. Both Tarik and Sepora have their own goals and when they collide it’s quite the rough house. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Haunted by the memory of her boyfriend’s death, she lives her life by one dangerous rule: Nothing matters. At least, that’s what Frankie tells herself after a reckless mistake forces her to leave her privileged life in the Heights to move in with her dad—an undercover cop. She transfers to a public high school in the Downs, where fistfights don’t faze anyone and illegal street racing is more popular than football.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Tough, sexy, and hypnotic, he makes it impossible for Frankie to ignore him—and how he makes her feel. But the risks Marco takes for his family could have devastating consequences for them both. When Frankie discovers his secret, she has to make a choice. Will she let the pain of the past determine her future? Or will she risk what little she has left to follow her heart?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It reminded me of Katie McGarry. It just had that rough bad boy feel to it and that good girl. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She comes from the good part of town and went to a good school. Well, she witnesses her boyfriend&#39;s death and that changes everything for her. &amp;nbsp;Frankie ends up moving in with her father and changing schools. She also has to go to an after school program where she helps kids. &amp;nbsp;Frankie helps them but she also learns so much from them, which I really liked seeing. And that darn cat, wow that made me want to cry! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Sweet Sweet Marco. He’s that bad boy who you have to love. &amp;nbsp;Marco has his fair share of problems but deep down he’s a smart and loyal person to have in your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

They each were so distinguished and had their own personalities! I also liked the plot and the scenery. It was a rough neighborhood and even a somewhat rough school but I liked seeing how things played out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I really liked it a lot! &amp;nbsp;As for Frankie’s boyfriend’s murder, I just had a feeling that is how it was going to end. I kind of seen that coming even though it still surprised me a little bit. &amp;nbsp;I really enjoyed this one! &amp;nbsp;I did feel like their relationship was a little too rushed but that’s okay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Her home in Ruina has been ravaged by war. She lacks the powers of her fellow Ruined. Worst of all, she witnessed her parents’ brutal murders and watched helplessly as her sister, Olivia, was kidnapped.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Driven by a blind desire for revenge, Em sets off on a dangerous journey to the enemy kingdom of Lera. Somewhere within Lera’s borders, Em hopes to find Olivia. But in order to find her, Em must infiltrate the royal family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

If anyone in Lera discovers Em is not Casimir’s true betrothed, Em will be executed on the spot. But it’s the only way to salvage Em’s kingdom and what is left of her family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Em’s rage-filled heart begins to soften. But with her life—and her family—on the line, love could be Em’s deadliest mistake. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;We are introduced to Emelina Flores who comes from Ruina which is basically destroyed now and not many people survived. &amp;nbsp;Hardly any really. She also has a sister named Olivia who was taken by the King and Queen of Lera. So, of course Em gets a plan to get into their home and find out where she is and take her back. But of course this can’t just be simple. She has to get in there undetected and really get to know them. So, what does she do? She pretends to be someone else and marries Prince Casimir. What a well thought out plan. AND LONG! Haha!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I also liked all the side characters. I liked her friends. I liked her old boyfriend, if he can call him that. And that made me tear up. You know which scene I’m talking about, dang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

And I understood him. He was compassionate. He had a heart. He knew right from wrong. It was hard to dislike him and I couldn’t even though Em wanted too also. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;

There was so much action and I liked learning about what people could do, especially her sister.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I whizzed right through it! I loved the characters and the plot! I enjoyed it a lot!! I’d give this one more of a 4.5 cupcake rating!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I knew when I read that description about a doctor named Ryle I knew I’d want to read this one! I read so many great reviews of this one before I really even knew much about it. &amp;nbsp;I don’t want to say many spoilers here!!! I laughed, I cried, I want to throw things. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

He is a smoking hot doctor too! Oh my. So sexy and so adorable and so handsome. But he’s also not as perfect as everyone thinks. He has a dark side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I really was torn. I liked them both so much. Even through Ryle’s hardships I still felt for him. &amp;nbsp;And Atlas, Oh Atlas baby. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

And especially hot. But it was also so heartbreaking. I don’t even know. People were saying how torn up they were after reading it and I get it now. It really has the feels alright. It makes you so happy, and so thrilled but it also then breaks your heart into pieces. Yes, it’s worth the read. It’s soooo worth all the emotions. &amp;nbsp;Even though it’s heartbreaking, I think it all fell into place on how it’s supposed to be. Just one wild ride alright. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Yes it’s a bit predictable but it’s still a lot of fun and will keep you up all night reading it! I stayed up until 3 am just to finish it. I had to know the ending. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Read it as soon as I got it and finished it within a day. I just adored the heck out of it and loved every minute of it. I wish it had been longer even so I could keep reading it!!! &amp;nbsp;I loved it!! 5 cupcakes all the way!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Not only is he the sweetest boy she&#39;s ever met, but he&#39;s an incredibly talented guitarist, singer, and songwriter. And since forever, he&#39;s believed he has what it takes to be a star.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Before she knows it, she&#39;s attending red-carpet premieres, getting free designer clothes, and flying around the country to attend Ethan&#39;s monumental sold-out concerts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I just devour her books when I start them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;We are introduced to Ethan and Sterling. Perfect couple. Sterling wants to go to college eventually while Ethan just wants to play music. So when he gets a record deal, his goals and dreams sour. Sterling tries her best standing by him and she’s a good girlfriend. I didn’t like how she started treating some of her friends though there for a while. I could see a bit of a change in her. &amp;nbsp;I also liked all the other characters. Like, the guy friend she meets on Ethan’s tour and her best friend who&#39;s a girl. I liked Ethan enough but I never felt much for him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I know that is the point, but I just didn’t love that angle really. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Just wasn’t as drawn into the story-line I think. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I kind of saw the Ethan situation coming from a mile away so I wasn’t really surprised when that happened. I wish I had been, but I just wasn’t. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
