Review: Wallbanger by Alice Clayton

Image
Title: Wallbanger Author: Alice Clayton Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆ The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she’s gaining an intimate knowledge of her new neighbor’s nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed dating hiatus, and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may

Review: Love And First Sight by Josh Sundquist

Image
Title: Love And First Sight Author: Josh Sundquist Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆ Synopsis: Love is more than meets the eye. On his first day at a new school, blind sixteen-year-old Will Porter accidentally groped a girl on the stairs, sat on another student in the cafeteria, and somehow drove a classmate to tears. High school can only go up from here, right? As Will starts to find his footing, he develops a crush on a sweet but shy girl named Cecily. And despite his fear that having a girlfriend will make him inherently dependent on someone sighted, the two of them grow closer and closer. Then an unprecedented opportunity arises: an experimental surgery that could give Will eyesight for the first time in his life. But learning to see is more difficult than Will ever imagined, and he soon discovers that the sighted world has been keeping secrets. It turns out Cecily doesn’t meet traditional definitions of beauty—in fact, everything he’d heard about her appearance was a lie engi

TAG TUESDAY: The Aesthetically Pleasing Book Tag

Image
Hey guys! I’m bring Tag Tuesday back! I’m also looking for other things to keep my blog updated often. It’s just not enough to do only book reviews and currently reading posts. I’m thinking about maybe doing a questions Friday or something? Maybe something like those old Myspace surveys? I don’t know. We shall see. Anywho, let’s get back to Tag Tuesday. I started this when I first started my blog. I kind of let it die out. I got lazy and was always trying to scramble between making the post and making sure it gets posted. I will now spend my Saturdays and Sundays setting up for my posts. I’m also going to have it post by itself. I won’t have to worry about that part! I found this tag from Dreamlandbookblog . I am also trying something new. I will take my own pictures instead of just getting the image of the cover from the internet. I’m actually going to work with this!!! Here we go!!! 1. Best color combo on a book cover: November 9 by Colleen Hoover I originally purchased this book bec

Review: Open When... by Karen Salmansohn

Image
Title: Open When… Author: Karen Salmasnsohn  Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Synopsis: Happiness expert Karen Salmansohn presents a unique interactive book that invites readers to literally open letters of encouragement, wit, and wisdom whenever they need a boost. Inspired by the trend of “open when” letters sweeping the nation, Instant Happy author Karen Salmansohn has created a bound collection of 12 notes for readers to flip open whenever they need a pep talk. With categories like “Open when you need a laugh,” “Open when you’re feeling stressed out,” and “Open when you need courage,” these little happiness-boosters are based on Salmansohn’s viral posters that combine witty sayings with colorful graphics. I wanted this little book because I thought it was the cutest little thing!! It also got here in perfect timing. I’ve been having a rough few weeks and this book brought up my spirits. I didn’t know what I was expecting for this book. But I do know that I wasn’t expecting

Review: FAKE by Callie Stone

Image
Title: Fake Author: Callie Stone Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆ Synopsis: After a year of online dating, texts and brief calls, Emma is finally ready to meet her boyfriend face to face. When Jack is a no show, again, Emma and her best friend, Damie decide to dig into his past. Sam had his life the way he wanted it: calm, quiet and free of drama. Until he receives a message from a girl he doesn’t know. Be careful who you trust, who you expose your heart to. There’s no telling who is sitting across the screen and what they really want. **BEWARE OF SPOILERS** . I asked Callie for a copy of this book for my review. I have never read a book that had anything to do with catfishing.  When I read the synopsis, I knew the story would have turned out two different ways. 1. She wasn’t really catfished and they would live happily ever after. 2. She was catfished and she was heartbroken about it. It was obviously partly the second one. I don’t think she was really heartbroken about the s

Review: By Your Side by Kasie West

Image
Title: By Your Side Author: Kasie West Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆ Synopsis: When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn’t think things could get any worse. 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. Only he doesn’t come. No one does. Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye. As he and Autumn

Title: As Red As Blood Author: Salla Simukka Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Synopsis: Lumikki Andersson has made it a rule to stay out of things that do not involve her. She knows all too well that trouble comes to those who stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. But Lumikki’s rule is put to the test when she uncovers thousands of washed Euro notes hung to dry in her school’s darkroom and three of her classmates with blood on their hands. Literally. A web of lies and deception now has Lumikki on the run from those determined to get the money back—no matter the cost. At the center of the chaos: Polar Bear, the mythical drug lord who has managed to remain anonymous despite hosting lavish parties and having a notorious reputation. If Lumikki hopes to make it out alive, she’ll have to uncover the entire operation. Even the cold Finnish winter can’t hide a culprit determined to stain the streets red.

Review: If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

Image
Title: If I Was Your Girl Author: Meredith Russo Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Synopsis: Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school in Lambertville, Tennessee. Like any other girl, all she wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret. There’s a reason why she transferred schools for her senior year, and why she’s determined not to get too close to anyone. And then she meets Grant Everett. Grant is unlike anyone she’s ever met—open, honest, kind—and Amanda can’t help but start to let him into her life. As they spend more time together, she finds herself yearning to share with Grant everything about herself…including her past. But she’s terrified that once she tells Grant the truth, he won’t be able to see past it. Because the secret that Amanda’s been keeping? It’s that she used to be Andrew. I am beyond glad I picked this book up. I’ve been dying to read it for a few months now. When it came in the mail, I was so excited. This book is beautifully written.

No More Blog Tours

I am no longer posting blog tours! I’m currently trying to not be on the computer as much. I find that I worry about making sure everything gets posted when it’s supposed to. I feel like my blog is becoming more of a chore than something I find fun. I didn’t ever want it to come to that. So from now on, no more blog tours!!!
