Triangles by Ellen Hopkins Review
Triangles by Ellen HopkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My friend Sky had recommended Ellen Hopkins book. I believe that was four years ago. It wasn't until this year that I thought to look for them at my local library.
The thing that stuck out to me about reading this was how fast it seemed to go by. Before I knew I was 50 pages in. The story was gripping and I felt like each main character's voice was unique. I felt like there was a certain realism about these characters and I really loved that.
I was unsure about reading it thought because I didn't know how the format would work. I had never heard of a verse novel before. The book was sectioned by each characters and it would have poems that continued the story. I originally thought it was going to be one long poem but I really liked how it worked out since there was three different narrators.
The end was satisfying and I really want to read Tilt. I might just have to seek it out from the Hollywood Branch. I tried to go for a book there once before but I got lost. But I think I'll chance it again.

Maliciously Obedient by Julia Kent Review
You know sometimes I read different things. Sometimes I read contemporary romance. That's a big leap for me.
While I was on break during my adult education classes I decided to read something. I didn't want to read the hardback I bought for some reason so I turned to my e-reader. I flipped through the shelves until I came to this bundle I bought ages ago but I had never looked at besides when I bought it.
This is how I discovered Julia Kent. I like what I read. Here's my review:
Maliciously Obedient by Julia Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Okay so technically this book was apart of a bundle I bought. But since it is it's own individual story I'm counting it as a whole book read because it is and I can so what.
So I started this while I was in class. I was jumping from story to story honestly on my ereader. But I opened this file and begin this story and what can I say I liked it.
The characters were really well done. I really liked Lydia and I like how she was portrayed. I have to say I really liked how the author included feminism but not like BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH IT! It felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends or something you know.
This book was really entertaining and even though the premise is a bit outlandish I kinda think it worked. At least for me it did haha. I loved this and I'm bidding my time until I can purchase the next volume.

Reckless Seduction by Jane Feather Review
Reckless Seduction by Jane FeatherMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I started this book because of a challenge. Though I had bought the book beforehand I'm not sure if I would have picked it up otherwise. I mean obviously I intended to read it. But sometime in the near future which could be any time in the next five years.
So I started this. It was a bit strange at first. It took me a moment to get into the flow of the book. Like I wrote on my status I was initially interested because not only did it take place in America but also in Louisiana, which is my homestate.
So I started to read. I immediately liked Genevieve. She's my type of girl. You know feisty, hard headed. Dominic. It took me a minute to warm up to him.
What I loved about this book was how excited I was to pick it back up. I looked forward to reading it. I love it when that happens. While it focused on the characters I feel like the plot was very action orientated. It was a nice ride.
I've checked out another book by Ms. Feather and I'm planning on reading that next. Let's just hope that I can finished my challenge.

It took me forever from when I originally bought this book to actually get around to reading it. I thank the challenge for that. I'm trying out some new stuff. This book is heavy on action but the characters are really well done. Dominic can get jerky at times I admit but I will say that I could understand why he was being a jerk. He just wasn't a jerk for the sake of being a jerk.

Ariel's Gift Babbling and Today's Video
Ariel's Gift: Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, and the Story of Birthday Letters by Erica WagnerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have become fascinated with this woman. It amazes me that if she were alive today she would be my grandma's age yet I like she's me. Idk I just feel connected to her. A bit too much I think.
