“After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more.” - Jasper Fforde, The Well of Lost Plots

Thoughts: This book was so sweet and so sad. It starts out fairly normal, girl trying to make a wish come true for her brother who has cancer. Annika is so fun and just such a great and resourcful character. I love the hassle she gets into. The story just flows nicely, the romance was predicted but it flowed well as well. The ending was sad and open-ended but it was still such a nice novel and I loved it so much. - Too Good To Be True by Kristan Higgins

Thoughts: This book was super cute. I loved it the whole way through. I thought it took a little too long for Grace and Callahan to get together, and once they did the fight was a bit much. He over-reacted a bit much if you ask me. Overall the story was nice and I really enjoyed it. - Catch A Mate by Gena Showalter

Thoughts: This was really cute. I know a lot of smut doesnt have a good plot, this one totally did. I loved reading through it. The characters were nice, the tension wasnt bad, the whole book was just generally entertaining. Its probably a 3.5star book, but Im feeling generous. - The Pleasure Slave by Gena Showalter

Thoughts: Very good. I love how Gena Showalter can take a good plot, add good characters and make a smut novel more than just smut. Good plots are fantastic and they make me happy. - Awry (The Archers of Avalon #2) by Chelsea Fine

Thoughts: Totally cute. I wish we had had a marriage program when I was in school. I think it was adorable and the book was just a fun slice-of-life read. Wont lie.. I dont like how she was talking about Darcy and Elizabeth.. but Im a Pride and Prejudice fangirl so obviously I dont approve. - Seven Clues to Winning You by Kristin Walker

Thoughts: This was the biggest disappointment. I was excited for it and then the whole thing read monotone and drab. I struggled to get through it and it wasnt even that long of a book. I dont know that Ive ever been so bored through a book in my life. - The Locket by Stacey Jay

Thoughts: Wasnt expecting the scifi angle even though I should have. It was a pretty good book though and I enjoyed it. I wish the romance had been more than what it was. The lack of it was a bit frustrating. - Everblue (Mer Tales #1) by Brenda Pandos

Rating: ★★★★☆
Thoughts: The book started out pretty slow. You knew Ash and Fin would end up together, that is the predictable way of these types of stories but they were apart so much in the book that you had to wonder how they were ever going to get together. I wish there had been a bit more interaction between Ash and Tachi, but all in all I was pretty pleased with things. - Grasping at Eternity (The Kindrily Series #1) by Karen Amanda Hooper

Thoughts: 4.5stars. This book was really good. It starts off slow, but then when it picks up, it really picks up and things fall together. I was really impressed with it. - Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy #1) by Wendy Higgins

Thoughts: This book was so bad. Stuttered plot, Mary Sues, flat characters, no action, no resolution, merely a poor excuse to setting up the series and yet I still enjoyed this train wreck. - Justice (Deck of Lies #1) by Jade Varden

Thoughts: This book has far more twists and turns that the first. The Von Sheltons are a freaking messed up family OMG. Loved every second until that awful cliffhanger. - Death (Deck of Lies #3) by Jade Varden

Thoughts: I really thought this was a trilogy and now I am unhappy because I have to wait for the next one. Guh! I didnt think things could get anymore twisted. I was wrong. On the brightside, it didn't have so firm of a cliffhanger. - by
