Review: If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Review: If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Posted September 27, 2013 by Wendy in Reviews / 2 Comments

A lot of the time, I stay away from the sad books. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that when I read, I immerse myself in the book, place myself in the characters’ shoes and as a result, sad books really destroy me. So I really don’t think I would’ve picked this up on my own, but I read it as part of the Gayle Forman read along and I’m SO glad I did. This book was […]

You guys, I adored Sanctum! I’ve always been partial to paranormal books and this one was fantastic! Lela Santos knows that she needs to rescue her best friend Nadia from hell. So she willingly walks through the Suicide Gates to go looking for Nadia. I loved the way that this city was described. It’s desolate and reeks of despair. Every single person there is there because they’ve taken their own life and now that they’re in that city, they become […]

Basically I helped teach the campers riding classes, took guest groups out on trail rides, trained an assigned horse, and any and all barn duties. It was one of the best summers of my life, everyone on staff […]

Review: Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Review: Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer Armentrout. That woman. She does it again! She completely wrapped me up in the story, had my heart breaking one minute and then smirking at the snark the next. I love that! I love being so immersed in the story and having the characters feel so real that I feel like I can reach into the book and touch them. And who wouldn’t want to touch Daemon?? Oh, you hear that? Yep, that’s the sound of Daemon’s ego growing. […]
