reading look back: 0-5

Now this will be a short one since those ages I don't remember being read to by anyone, but i do remember my grandma having old books that were classics and opening them and sitting on the floor and looking at the words as I flip through the books. Now at this point, I'd never been to a library or bookstore. I do remember though I and my cousins putting the land future in a circle and telling ghost stories we made up on the spot so i did have stories they just were made up by a bunch of children. Now, these will be going until i catch up until my age once a month.

Fave Author Spot Light: Jamie McGuire

Jamie Mcguire became a fave with Beautiful Disaster now I know this isn't ideal relationship goals it is toxic in ways, but it the love that there and the family that is in here that grab my heart, But her first book wasn't Beautiful Disaster it was Providence now As I write this post i have not read every single thing she wrote, but I'll get to that later. I started with Beautiful Disaster then read Walking Disaster within four days. Then i found the first book in the Maddox brother series beautiful oblivion but didn't read it right away. then i found the next book years later and then went online and found a whole lot of other books she had written and around summer 2016 I started the Maddox brother series then later that year i read the happenstance series as well as Apolonia. and over the years I've read her other books last year i finished the Providence series and read Sin of the Innocent on my birthday trip This year I'll be reading The Crash and Burn series who spotlight the side characters in the Maddox brother series. Now, most if not all of her works have damage characters the characters are flawed and have some type of flaw or dark past. there also an online series about Travis and Abby who are from beautiful disaster and walking disaster I've not read those yet but time will tell. overall love her world-building and story-telling and Mcguire does if you love romance her books are for you, but i will say she doesn't shy away from sex though so be thoughtful of that.
here a list of her current books:

now she still is writing when her next book comes out I'm not sure all i know is that it is a sequel to Sins of the Innocent. Happy readings and let me know some of your favorite authors in the comments.

Book Review: Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?

 Hey, guys today I'm here with a review over Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not by Thompson Square and Travis Thasther. This book is a romance of love lost then found. In this book, we have altering POV between Daniel and Casey. Daniel is this songwriter who fallen on hard times while Casey is an English high school teacher who has gotten a divorce. This book goes back between what going on now and what happened in the past. Now before I say anything about the problems i had with this book I did enjoy the book in the long run, but there are a few problems. So with that said let get into my problems with this Casey mother she was so hateful to daniel that it not funny and for no reason but because he was in a band and wanted a career in music. two is daniel himself why if you love someone and she telling you to follow your dreams would you let her go? I don't know. Casey is my final problem why the fuck would you stay with someone like burke he a fucking cheater with money and thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he has money. another problem with her is you have daniel who respects you then asshole left and right and for most of the book she chooses the asshole. I think the only reason I enjoy this book was the connection to country music it references some big names in country for sure. Overall it was more of a meh read for me i didn't love it nor didn't hate it

Book Tour Review: Tweet Cute

My Thoughts:

Hey, fellow readers, I'm here with a review of the book Tweet Cute by Emma Lord. I got An Ebook Arc of this book and yes it took me a while to read, but that was just because of it being on ebook, and i tend to read those while I can't sleep lying in bed. I Was contacted months ago to give a review on this book's book tour and here are my thought it a cute cheesy rom-com type of book and i loved every minute of reading this book. It has " When Harry meets Sally" as well as a few things from Romeo and Juliet. if you like that enemies to lovers troupe this is the books for you. if you like family secrets this is the book for you. If that sounds like your cup of tea link down below for you to be able to get this book which is coming out tomorrow. Have Fun Reading and don't forget to be a little cheesy.

Jacket Copy:

Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming — mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account. 

Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time. 

All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life — on an anonymous chat app Jack built. 

As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate — people on the internet are shipping them?? — their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.

Author Talk: Marissa Meyer

In 2020 i want to take a look at authors I read rather it recently or in the past, and the first one in the series is Marissa Meyer. As I write this post there four works by Meyer that I have not read Archenemies and supernova as well as wire and nerve series. From what i read. Listen to her writing is a mix of Science fiction and fantasy. She takes something everyone knows life fairy tales and superheroes and runs with it creating these complex world around them. Now her books can be thick they are chunky, but the world-building and characters are so developed that it worth that thickness. I do find my self drawn into her world and feel close to her characters. Now it wasn't until the end of 2019 when i finally got to her works and I fell in love with her works overall I think every reader who loves science fiction and fantasy should check out
