Say what you will

by Cammie McGovern

I just finished reading this book, and I don't know what to think of it. Part of me loves it, and the other not so much. This book is about Amy a disabled girl, who is really smart, writes beautifully stories, but she is alone. By disabled I mean because she cannot walk without her walker, she cannot talk without her computer, and she cannot have friends because of this. There is also Matthew, another student with problems of his own, he has a problem that has been increasing over the time. Amy and Matthew has know each other since 2nd grade, but had never the courage to talk to one another. Now, on their Senior year they get to do it, and they discover that have a lot more in common than they ever thought. I love the beginning of the book, the ending not so much, something happened before the end that I was not expecting and the ending even more. This book has a
The Fault in Our Stars feel, in case if you want to read.

 btw I loved the cover of the book!

Four

Four is the newest book from the Divergent series from Veronica Roth

This book is about how Tobias became Four, this is his part of the story and how he became Dauntless. The book was really well written, a really easy and fast read. Like I mention before, I don't personally like to read the same story from somebody else's perspective. I think it is a little boring specially if it's the male character who is telling the story. But I liked this book, I think it was really awesome for Veronica to give us more of Four. I guess a lot of people started to like him because of the movie, but I have always like him since the books, and of course I wanted to know more of him. This books describes him really well, you understand his personality a lot more. The book also contains two new scenes that were not in the Divergent book.



Now that I read this book it got me thinking that some of the major people from the Divergent book and the "Four" book were not in the Divergent movie. I don't know the reasons why the producers decided not to include Tobia's best friend Zeke and his brother Uriah, but in this book they also played a big role.

Aftershock/Afterburn

by Sylvia Day

These were two short ebooks, that now are printed in one book. I have had this book at my library for a while and it was until yesterday that I started reading and I finished right away. Whoot whoot! it was actually really good just a little different from the Crossfire trilogy, same as for excitement! This book is about Gianna a restaurateur who is working for a large company in NY. Gianna comes from a very close italian family, and her job is her life until of course a man comes to her life. Jax is Gianna's ex lover who left her two years ago and now due to her new job, he has also come back to her life. But that is not all, he is making Gianna's life miserable and also full of romanticism and love! Really short book compare to the trilogies that I've been reading lately, and I kind of want to read more! I really recommend these books if you're up for something quick and entertaining.

El Affaire Blackstone

Ya termine la serie de libros del Affaire Blakstone de Raine Miller.

La verdad no puedo recordar que paso exactamente con el libro # 2 Todo o Nada. En realidad no hubo nada tan emocionante que me haga recordar lo que paso, solo Ethan y Brynne una pareja que esta conociendose mutuamente, los dos con secretos que se van descubriendo poco a poco. Eso si es algo que me gusto de estos libros que la autora no tardo hasta el ultimo momento para descubrir todo los secretos. Ya saben hay algunos libros que se tardan todo el libro ya hasta el mero final se descubre todo y zapatelas!! pero este no.  Otra cosa que tambien me gusto, esque no hubo una tercera persona en ningun libro de la trilogia, claro si hay un loco ex novio que no les voy a platicar de el porque de eso se trata el drama, pero nada de esa persona resbalosa que quiere quitarle el novio a la otra o viceversa :/ La verdad si estas buscando de una trilogia llena de amor, romance y secretos estos libros estan de maravilla!

*Spoilers (Si no has leido este libro no leas esta parte)

El ultimo libro se titula Sorprendida

Este libro fue el que mas me gusto, tenia mucha accion! Si ustedes se acuerdan el segundo libro termino un con super final, cuando Brynne se entera que el papa de ella habia contratado a Ethan para vigilarla y es asi como estos se llegaron a conocer. Obvio ella devastada se va y lo deja, pero me gusto que en el tercer libro ellos hablan del problema y se reconcilian y de ahi nada mas sobre el tema. En este libro se dan a conocer mas secretos sobre estos dos y claro que al final se sabe quien es que esta atormentando y siguiendo a Brynne, sobre todo me encanto que ahi la heroina es ella y no Ethan que eso tambien fue un giro a un final inesperado.

Se que la autora esta en proceso de publicar el cuarto libro, lo que no se es si es una continuacion de esta serie o es algo diferente.

Crazy Beautiful

Crazy Beautiful by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

This is a quick YA book. This book is good to read if you are in mood of something light and easy to read. Also if you want to read something similar to the Fault in Our Stars by John Green click here for review. This book is about Lucius a high school student who blew his arms off in an attempt to create an explosion.  After the explosion he struggles to fit in at his new school and even with his own family. He knows that all of  this was his fault and he wants to punish himself for it. Instead of prosthetic arms he gets hooks to remind himself of what his mistake, he wants to scare people so they won't talk to him. It almost work except for Aurora who is also a new student in town, Lucius describes her as a dark angel who is beautiful and she is not afraid of him. Aurora wants to learn of what happened to Lucius and at the end she finds out what was Lucius main intention with the explosive he wanted to make. What intentions can someone have when making an explosive? Yeah well that is something you need to find out if you read this book. I liked the book, I didn't love it of course but it was a good and easy read.

Here is the link to read the books for this book in Goodreads

En mi Piel/Being Me

En mi Piel es el segundo libro de la trilogia de la autora Lisa Renee Jones. Si no has leido mi reseña del primer libro aqui te dejo el link. La verdad en la reseña anterior dije que el libro me dejo como sin ningun sentimiento al final porque el final estubo muy seco! La verdad este libro me gusto mucho mas!! tiene mucha mas informacion con respecto a Rebecca la mujer desaparecida de los diarios. Sara es una mujer decidida e inteligente y confia mucho en su instinto y asi es como logra aprender mas sobre esta desaparicion. Este final si me gusto, tiene tanta drama y si se dice al final que paso con Rebecca. Me gusto este libro por muchas razones, la autora por ejemplo no se deja con rodeos y todo es como muy rapido y eso me gusta. Otra razon por la que me gusto, es porque aparte de romance este libro esta lleno de misterio y eso tambien me gusta. Ahora estoy leyendo el libro numero tres! ohh estos dos libros los encontre en mi biblioteca pero en ingles. Lo busque en amazon en español y solo encontre el primero y el segundo, no se la verdad si el tercer libro tambien esta ya traducido al español. Aqui les dejo el link si esque lo quieren buscar.

Pideme lo que Quieras

..but I am here! I also have been reading but most of them Spanish books. There is a book in particular that caught my attention and really liked it. The book is called Pideme lo que Quieras (Ask me whatever you want) by the Spanish author Megan Maxwell.
Now let me just tell you that this book is erotic! OMG I didn't know that this book was going to be this hot! We got the book at the library where I work, and obviously I had no idea the type of book that it was. But let me tell you that this book is hotter than Fifty Shades of Grey, hotter than the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day and a bit hotter than the This Man Series. Now since this book is in Spanish I am going to write my review in Spanish. I think I have a link above this page in case you want to translate this. ------>

El libro que termine de leer se llama Pideme lo que Quieras de Megan Maxwell. Este es el primer de tres libros. Cuando el libro llego a la biblioteca donde yo trabajo lo vi y la portada me llamo la atencion. Una portada simple, parecida a los de Twilight or Crepusculo, pero ahi abajito dice no apto para menores de 18 años y pues eso me llamo mas la atencion. El libro empieza cuando Judith ve a su jefa y un compañero de la oficina en una situacion muy comprometedora en el parking del trabajo. Desde ahi la autora me llamo la atencion y tuve una idea del tipo del libro que era. Este libro es quizas mas fuerte que el de Cincuenta Sombras de Grey, mas que los libros de Silvya Day, este libro es erotico, lleno de morbo y sexo! Yo no sabia lo juro!!  hay unas partes que esta muy fuerte la verdad, (y mas si no tienes una mente abierta) pero la historia es buenisima. Ahi la heroina o la persona fuerte es Judith, ella es una española fuerte, que se anima a todo! Que tiene una boca que nunca la puede cerrar (literalmente) jeje es super honesta y gritona. A veces como que se pasaba de dramatica jeje pero una persona muy real.  Eric es un Aleman que viene a visitar las empresas que su padre le dejo y obviamente es donde conoce a Judith.  Es el hombre que la enseña a muchas cosas que ella nunca (ni yo) se imaginaria que existieran. Ellos juntos van a vivir un monton de fantasias sexuales que te dejaran con la boca abierta! La verdad no quede "enamorada" de Eric como quede por Cristian Grey <3 pero el es igual de fuerte y terco como los demas.  La verdad que les recomiendo este libro si esque te gusta este tipo de libros. Si tu creiste que Cincuenta sombras esta fuerte, creo que este libro esta mucho mas! Ahora estoy en el libro #2.

Scars and something else...

Hello there!!

For those people who follow my blog, you might notice my absence. But you may also know that this is normal for me, specially after a good book or a bad one. Yes, I have been reading, nothing that big or exciting, unfortunately, but I have been reading. One of the books that I read was a non fiction Spanish book, and it was about this Mexican actress and her struggles with her love life. The book is called Soltera pero no Sola by Claudia Cervantes in case if you wonder.

Another good book (if you can called it good because it's a sad story) is Scars by Cheryl Rainfield.  Kendra is a sad and lonely fifteen year old who was raped by an unknown person, ever since she was 3 years old, until she was 12. Even so she has being raped over and over, her mind is represing the memories and does not want to know (I guess) who her abuser is. She only remembers little fragments.  Now that she is older and and through help from her therapist, she is starting to remember more and more. There is so much going on right now on her life, she knows that she has being follow and to cope from her fears she is cutting herself. This is until she finds help from another lonely girl and her feelings for her changed from friendship to something else. This is a really an exciting book! There are a lot of secrets, mystery and drama!!!and of course at the end you find out who the abuser is (I actually figured it out right away).

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

by John Green

This is another book that I chose for my readbox, and it is also being made into a movie for next year.  I am amazed by this book!. I have never read a book like this one, it reminds me of my sister's keeper in a way and some other movies. This is funny yet a sad book, the story it's just something that you don't hear very often, and I love this kind of books that are unexpected.

This book is about Hazel a seventeen year old who has terminal cancer for most of her life. Apparently, she has lived more than what she was supposed to.She doesn't go out, she doesn't go to school anymore, basically not a normal teenager life. Her mom wants her to have a "normal" life, and ends up sending her to  a Cancer Support Group where she meets Augustus Waters, and he changes her life around. It is really hard to explain exactly what happens with this book.  It is really fun and sad at the same time, and this book will get your emotions up and down so watch out. I literally cried like a baby almost at the end of the book! Ohh  and let me tell you the ending is really unexpected.  I fully, truly recommend this book and I think it will make a great movie. I really cannot wait to watch it.

if i stay

If I stay by Gayle Forman

Remember my readbox? click here Basically If I stay is one those books that I chose that are coming up as movies next year. Because I chose this book for my readbox it is only fair that I read it right? lol I was actually reading two different books this week one of them is the post before this one or go here Long Way Home  and The fault in our stars (I haven't finish this one) and it is also another one of my readbox selection. I was reading Long Way Home at home on my cellphone, and The Fault in Our Stars at work, but yesterday I forgot this book at home so I started reading if I stay (I hope I didn't confused you) so basically once I started reading if i stay I couldn't stop, thank God it was really slow at work so I finished it in a couple of hours. You see how amazing is to work in a library so when it's not busy get a book and read it. I think this actually talks good about me, because it means that you care for books, and  I utilize the books from my library (that's what I think anyway). Now, back to the book, it is amazing! Mia is a musician, so is her father, bother and her boyfriend Adam. Mia plays the cello, dad and brother the drums, and Adam is the main voice and main guitar from a local band that are finding their way to success. One snowy day Mia and her family go for a drive to see some friends of the family, but they suffer a terrible accident which causes Mia to be dead? or alive? this is something she needs to find out. Mia is out there with no extra powers or anything, but she is able to see everything around her while she lays down in bed at the hospital, with little possibilities of survival. This is book is a really easy read, really interesting, and I wasn't expecting any of what happened at all. I fully recommend the book, if you like it you won't stop reading it, plus it is coming up in a movie and you will already know the story. This is one of the things what I like about reading books, that you get to find out what happens in the movie before people who do not read. Plus, I am really desperate woman and I don't like surprises! so I like to know that I know what's going to happen before everyone else hehe. 



Long Way Home

 Long Way Home by Ann Vaughn

This is the story about Tessa and Shane when they were in kindergarten, and basically Tessa told the little guy that one day they were getting married. Of course a 6 or 7 year old would be scared and wants to get away from her, but in high school they actually end up together. Wait! there is a lot more! Tessa and Shane go on different directions after high school. Shane goes out of town for college and Tessa goes to the army, they do not see each other for some years, until one time that they both ended up back in town for the holidays but they go away once again. Shane and Tessa now being around 28 years or found each other working at the same place for the FBI. They resumed their relationship once again and they end up getting  engaged, but Tessa gets send out to an undercover mission were she suffers a lot of trauma, gets rape and bitten really hard by different people and she blames Shane for not protecting her and there is a lot more to it. Do not think that I have just told you everything there is a lot more! I liked this book because, the story moves so fast, there is a lot going on with their lives and I like that both characters are so strong! That even though a lot of years passed by they still end up together. Another thing, this book is narrated by a third person, so there is a lot more details to the story.

This Man Confessed

Ohh Freaking Ending!! I don't curse but man I want to right now!!!!! What an ending!!!!

Ohh my God, I really have no words right now! I just finished reading this third and last book of the Man series by Jodi Ellen Malpas. I seriously never, never , ever read a book that tortured me like this one. This plot!  I kind of had a clue of what was going on, but the ending really surprised me. Ava and Jesse's relationship goes above and beyond, full of drama until the very end. I just cannot believe how Ava took all of  that! I don't think I'll be able to handle like she did, it was just too much. Like I said before Jesse is full of secrets, women and drama! and all of this is following and torturing Ava. My respects goes to Ava 100% for being a strong woman. This book was the longest out the three and a little quiet at the beginning. They were doing ok, but you know every good book has to have an amazing plot and this one really nailed it. I cannot tell you enough that you have to read this book, really this is a must! Such a great series, really a favorite of mine. I am still shocked!

Beneath This Man

This is book # 2 after "This Man" by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Let me tell you this book is insane!! Better than the 1st book, it is just SO amazing!! I am really reading Fifty Shades times 2!! There is a lot going on with Ava and Jesse, lots of drama, lots of fights and way more sex! Really if you were amazed of how many times Mr. Gray and Ana were together, I think this couple are doing double the work! If you read my post for the first book then you know that Jesse owns a Sex House, and there is a lot going on there. A lot of secrets that Ava finds throughout the whole book! I seriously wanted to punch Jesse so many times, I love him, don't get me wrong, but he is seriously a case! There were moments that I wanted Ava to seriously go far away from Jesse!! This is an amazing book, I highly recommended if you like this same kind of books. I will advise though that you are going to get your nerves high up! There are some really good moments, like Ava asking Jesse for his age throughout the book, specially the part where Ava finds out how old he really is. I love this second book a lot! You will love Jesse even though he is a big arse!

* Remember when I described Ava and I said that she was size 10, well I wasn't thinking that they are from the UK so the US size is 6. I was really thinking she was a bit chunky like me ^-^

Our song

Our Song by Jordanna Fraiberg


Awww this is a really nice book! I read it so fast! It really got me hooked since the very beginning. This story is about Olive Bell who lives in a perfect neighborhood, she has a perfect family and a perfect boyfriend, you know the deal...the popular guy from school who has his goals already set up for his future and all that. The book starts when Olive has had an accident and she dies....yeap she died for 3 long minutes!!! but when she wakes up, her life changes completely. Apparently something happened before the accident, but she cannot remember, but don't worry everything will be disclose almost at the end of the book. The best part of this book is when she meets Nick in one of her "After Dead Sessions" he is so different to all the rest, she feels complete, but there is something, there is something something that separates these two. Overall, this book is really good, I enjoyed reading it. It has a lot of mystery and drama I like it a lot!!!

Th1rteen R3asons Why

A novel by Jay Asher

This book is in the New York Best Sellers for this month.

All this suspense started the day Clay, a high school student received a shoe box full of audio tapes with numbers on them. When he started listening to the first tape, he knew these tapes belonged to Hanna Baker. Hanna was a mysterious girl from high school, who was always involved in the gossip from school. After being bullied in different ways, she killed herself. Hanna left these tapes to pass along the 13 people who made her take this decision.  This book is so amazing, I couldn't stop reading it. I wanted to know more, and as you read you will find out how these people tormented Hanna until the very last day when she did it. This is a book that you have to read!! It's hard to imagine that our actions can affect somebody's life, even if we mean it or not.


I know this is not the real trailer or if they're thinking on making a movie, but this fan trailer came out so good.

A few more books

Over these past weeks, I have read some books and my eyesight is acting a little weird.  I am actually going to see an eye doctor this Saturday, I think I might need glasses real soon. For some reason I like to read ebooks instead or hard cover books and I think is kind of damaging my eyes. Well, I guess it was about time too, I am most of the time in front of my computer or my cellphone.

The first book that I read was Insurgent, book # 2 after Divergent. I also found out that the movie is coming out next year in 2014! Woot woot! As I said in my other blog, this book sounded a lot like the Hunger Games and people are actually comparing it to those books as well. I knew it! ok well. I am looking forward for it! This book # 2 is really good as well, a lot of things happened and Tris the main character grows up a lot and becomes a powerful fighter. The book is good and I have the feeling that the movies would be better :)

Second book is for all those Pretty Little Liars fans! Yes! you know that I am a FAN! even my husband watches it, he complains of me watching it, but at the end he watches it too hehe. I wanted the read the whole series of books but I couldn't. The show is a little different from the books, so I skipped all of them and went straight for the very last one. Ali's Pretty Little Lies, is Ali's (the dead girl) point of view and it goes from the very first beginning. It has really good info! and if the show follows this book, that means that....I know who killed Ali! But I am not telling you! it is really good!!!

The third book OMG Entwined with You!! Eva and Gideon are so HOT!! Not a lot of things happen in this book actually. Only until the end the book spice up a little more. For some reason, I still think that these books are not as good as Fifty Shades, but they are really close.

Divergent



Divergent by Veronica Roth


Yes! I finally read another book!! OMG I was so ashamed of not reading anything lately.  I did started some books but none of them got my attention. I don't know what was wrong with me! I was so into the makeup stuff and tutorials that instead of reading I got to watch makeup tutorials, what a shame :/ 
Ok well about two days ago while I was at work, I found this book whose cover is really similar to the Hunger Games. I started reading it and it really was a lot similar like the hunger games, but I liked it since the beginning too, so I read a little bit in a hard copy then I went home and downloaded it. For some reason it seems easier for me to read it in my phone or iPad. 
Ok, well the story is about Beatrice who lives in the Abnegation faction. There are 5 Factions and they are all different from each other like Beatrice's faction believe in selflessness, they are all helping people and they don't believe in outside beauty. They all wear the same colors to identify themselves and cover their heads and the kids are not suppose to talk to their parents or ask any questions. Another Faction is  the Dauntless who are the totally opposite from the Abnegation, they are brave and fun and they are the ones that are suppose to take care of the city like the guardians. Candor Faction is all about telling the truth, they are not suppose to lie, they have to be honest at all the times. The Erudite Faction, are the intelligent ones, they study and are the doctors of the city, the inventors etc... The Amity are the peace keepers, they are the gardeners, the ones that bring the food and more. Ok,well at the age of 16 all the kids are suppose to choose one of these Factions in a ceremony. They all, one by one take a Aptitude test and depending of their results, they get to choose a Faction. Well Beatrice is different, after her test inclusive results gets to choose not one but three of the factions. She is a Divergent, which is really dangerous and the story explains why. There is also a little bit of a love story <3 I really like the book, I am reading part two already its called Insurgent and I am almost half way through it. I really recommend these books, I kind of picture a movie about these books. It would be really cool!

Hopeless

Hopeless, by Colleen Hoover


Such a beautiful and touching book! This time I won't tell you the whole story, because this book deserves to be read. I can't just tell you, you MUST read it. This is such an emotional book. At first, Sky and Holder's relationship made me laugh a lot, they are so fun!, but then their lives change completely!!.Believe me!, this is not just any book. You can't see it coming! it has such an amazing plot, that makes you anxious but not knowing what's next. The story is not like any other, it is so real. Colleen Hoover really wrote this story so nicely, that makes you think deeper in what's really happening in other people's life. I could really say that this book is one of my favorites, and I really encourage you to read it. This is not just a love story, this is real life.

Recent Books

New Books!


These three books by Abbi Glines, Existence, Predestined and Ceaseless.

Pagan, a high school girl who sees lost souls. She does not know why she sees these creatures, the lost souls don't talk to her, but she knows they are there. It was until one day, after vacations when she saw this really cute guy, who she knew it was a soul or she thought he was a soul, but this time he talked to her. Dank, was not a lost soul, he was DEATH and he was there to take her. Dank and Pagan started talking, she liked him since the very first moment she saw him and Dank felt the same way for her. It was then, when Pagan had a car accident where she was supposed to die, but he saved her. Pagan was dating Leif another cute, high school student but there is more of him a lot more that we found out more on the second book Predestine.

For some odd reason, I confused book three for book two and  I read book three Ceaseless.

I was  a little confused at the beginning, because it seamed that the book started brand new again. Pagan didn't know who Dank was, but Dank was still in love with Pagan. One of Pagan's high school friend Weight had died and I had no idea why and how he died. (all that is also in book two).
It is really hard to understand how can a real human can fall in love with DEATH. The week when I started reading the books I was scared. I don't really get scared by ghost or death, but the books go a little more detail about all of this, that make you think  more about life after death.  I finished with book three and I obviously didn't go back and read book number two, but there were some things that I was confused. At the end I decided to go back and read it, and I am glad because it clarified a lot of things that I didn't understand from book three.
