Always Red
Chasing Red (#2)

"Red," Caleb whispered. "Do you know how I felt when you left me?"

I looked into his eyes. The emotion I saw in them, the intensity, and the tenderness filled up my throat.

"I felt ruined. Because, Red, every time you break me apart, you put me back together. And I always come out better than before."

"So," he cupped my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "Ruin me."

I don't know why I put myself through this agonizing hell that someone though would be a good idea to publish. This book was so bad that I'm going to change my rating for the first book because I honestly don't think anyone should ever read this duology. 
This book just completely went in all the wrong directions. It was the dumbest thing I have ever read. I hate leaving bad reviews but this book was just so awful. 

Veronica got SUPER annoying in this book. I thought I disliked her in Chasing Red. Oh boy, she got worse. I feel like this author of this book is maybe like twelve-years-old. Or just acts like one. Veronica is an adult who gets squealy when her boyfriend, actually fiance`, sees her UNDERWEAR. 

They legit got engaged after seeing each other for a minute. Caleb doesn't really even seem to trust Veronica because he gets all caveman mad when Beatrice-Rose tells him Veronica is with some idiot named Damon. He gets pissy and they end up having "angry sex". They should just break up and never talk again. No one would care. 

Caleb is over here talking about buying a house. Uh, sir, that's not your money you're trying to spend. It's your mother's. He's going around acting like it's his money. JUST STOP. 

This book was just completely ridiculous. There was no character development. There was no real story. Things were just thrown around in hopes that it would make a good book. That little thing at the ending where it showed that they knew each other as kids? Complete trash. Throw. It. Away.

I'm pissed that I spent $4 on this book. I will never pick up a book by this author again. I can't believe it has a high rating on Goodreads....

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

Books On My Fall TBR!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish and is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This week’s prompt is to talk about the books on our Fall TBR!  I'm not going to lie, I don't normally make any TBRs. I typically choose a book at random to read. I do this in order to make sure every single book on my TBR has a chance to be read. Babel by R.F. Kuag: I am actually dying to read this book. I have seen nothing but great reviews for this one. Luckily, if I love it, I already have two beautiful editions 😍 Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner: I actually have an arc of this one from NetGalley. I highly enjoyed Meryl's debut novel and I'm excited to see if I will feel the same about her newer release. Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton: Soooo many people have read and loved this book. I love a good dark romance and I'm definitely making sure I pick this one up soon. A Light In The Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one doesn't come out for a w
