It's time, it's time!! It's the last Monday of the month and that means I link up with Rachel and Amber for Collaboreads. I struggled with what book to read all month long and only after seeing that Amber picked this one up (and seeing that it was quite popular and talked about) did I decided to read it. via From Amazon: A beautiful and distinguished family. A private island. A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy. A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive. A revolution. An accident. A secret. Lies upon lies. True love. The truth. We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from E. Lockhart. Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE. RIVETING. I must confess, but it seems like I might be the ONLY ...

Collaboreads | Eleanor & Park
It's time again to link up with the always fabulous Amber and Rachel to share an book review. They introduced us to #collaboreads in May and today is the day we get to link up and share the books we read in July! The concept is simple - there are only five steps: Visit their blogs and see the prompt for each month's link up. Go choose a book. READ {you get 30 whole days}. Write a review to link up with Amber & Rachel. Do it all over again next month! The criteria for July was to read a book with the character's name in the title and just like last month's review, I chose a book that I purchased almost a year ago and never got around to reading. Since I read Landline by Rainbow Rowell earlier in the summer, I was hoping to find Eleanor & Park just as ...
Collaboreads | Paper Towns
What better way to kick off my return to the blog world {hello, unexpected two-week hiatus} than to link up with the always fabulous Amber and Rachel to share an "almost" book review. They introduced us to #collaboreads last month and today is the day we finally get to link up! The concept is simple - there are only five steps: Visit their blogs and see the criteria for each month's link up. Go choose a book. READ {you get 30 whole days}. Write a review to link up with Amber & Rachel. Do it all over again next month! The criteria for June was that the book had to be on the New York Times' Bestseller List at the time you began reading. Last spring, I was given a sizable Amazon gift card and decided to use to download all of the new and slightly more expensive ...
Dear Amazon,
Warning: Affiliate links appear in the following post. Although shopping the embedded links won’t cost you any additional dollars, using the links below to shop may result in a small commission for me. Thanks for supporting the brands that make this blog possible. I have a confession to make. I used to read really good books. I wasn't even embarrassed to share my reading list with people when they asked. Now? I've sort of turned into a 19 year old girl when it comes to reading. I don't know what my deal is, but I can devour a cheap romance novel in the space of an hour. There are plenty of free and inexpensive reads that I would never recommend. Sometimes I just need to read for the sake of reading. There are plenty of others that I make sure to pass along to my fellow Kindle-addicts, ...
The Fault in Our Stars
I know that I am super late to this party, I get that. But, y'all. I feel like I should commandeer a microphone or scream from the mountain tops that I LOVE THIS BOOK. I read it on my Kindle and now I want to spend money on the physical copy so that I can carry it around always and forever and re-read my favorite parts. I'm having an inappropriate love affair with this book right now. The day I read it I sent three texts to the friend who recommended it. The first said, "So. I'm a third of the way through the book and I love everything about it. In love with it. Can't put it down, might get fired, but I'm finishing it today, in love with it. Sigh". The second said, "I've abandoned all illusions of productivity today." And when I finished it, "Ahhhhh. I'm done. And I'm sitting in a ...
