Falling Into You by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*****SPOILERS******

Wow! This story was so emotional, I'm kinda speechless. Nell and Kyle..best friends to high school sweethearts, nothing could come between them until one stormy night and a freak accident. Nell closed herself off to life, she didn't wanna feel anything and basically was just going though the motions until Colton. This made life even more difficult, because Colton was Kyle's older brother. It wasn't a planned relationship, it's just happened. Can they be enough for each other? Will the ghosts of their past still haunt them? This is a MUST read ladies! I'd give this more than 5 stars, that's how amazing it was. I can't wait to meet you Jasinda, you are one fabulous writer. You totally sucked me in and I felt everything that Nell felt...love, agony, despair and a little insane lol.. What wonderful characters and the story..incredible! So thanks for sharing this beautiful story of first loves, survival, courage and strength. <3

Fun, Steamy, to the point, but too short! Have to read book 2 and hoping the story expands a little more on their backgrounds.

Music of the Heart by Katie Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a sweet and complicated love story. I kept thinking damn..how many times is this guy gonna mess up and why the heck is she so forgiving? Lol..well ladies its what we seem to do when we are in love..forgive, but not fully forget. Jake and Abby "angel" are total opposites. Abby is from a very religious family, with high standards and morals and Jake is a womanizing, self centered jerk..and a rock star. But somehow, they fall in love and promise to make it work..no matter what the obstacles. Katie sure does know how to bring you to tears and then turn around and make you laugh. The only thing that bugged me the most, was tbe back and forth drama between Jake and Abby..other than that, it was really good! Thanks for another great read Katie and hope to meet you soon:)

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

****Slight spoilers****


Talk about a throwback to the 80's! This book pretty much summed up my high school experience. I genuinley adored every moment this book had to offer. It was humorous, smart, and sassy. I think the author totally captured how life was in the 80's...Casette tapes,acid washed mini skirts, mean girls, bullies, punks and of course MTV. Sadly,Eleanor was a target from day one..no one liked her..from the way she dressed, to her flaming, unruly red hair. Park,with his black hair and dreamy eyes, was quiet and reserved, never adding to her misery,offered up his seat to her on the first day of school. From then on their relationship went unnoticed,even to themselves, but it all changed and grew over the course of just one school year into something wonderful and magical, until an incident happens at Eleanors, she chooses to run away. With Park's help she takes the next steps to secure her life and be free from an abusive step dad and passive mother. I laughed, shed some tears and was furious at her situation. life lessons are all throughout this story. Overall this book was a terrific read and highly recommended. Thank you for sharing Rainbow!

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book! It was long and descriptive..normally it's overkill and I lose interest, but this one really got my attention. Matthew and Diana..vampire and witch..I love that concept. It had a twilight kind of feel with their attraction to each other and Diana has quite a few "Bella" moments..ya just wanna smack her! Matthew is overprotective and territorial like Edward..the "congregation" is like the Volturi..so many similarities and yet not. That didn't bother me at all, because Twilight is one of my favorite books. DOW takes it further into the history of witches, vampires and demons, which I loved! Gonna start Shadow of night soon:)

Ashes on the Waves by Mary Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

****SPOILERS***
I'm trying to put into words how beautiful and heart wrenching this story is..I guess I can start by saying how refreshing it was to have the female character (Anna) pursue the male(Liam)I know you are thinking..why is this so refreshing, when it's done all the time? Well, because we are all so used to love stories being told the other way around..The girl is usually shy and naive and is usually the pursued, but not in this story. Anna is forthcoming and honest with no inhabitions and is strong and beautiful and knows what she wants and won't let anyone or anything get in her way. Liam is shy and innocent and really doesn't know the way of the world, he only knows the world of Dochas island where everything is handled by the villagers, including the law. The worst part was what he was told he was all his life...that he was...a demon and shouldn't be living. He grows up believing there is no hope for him and he has come to terms with his life,but it doesn't stop Liam from learning all he can from his books and about Anna from the tabloids that come to Dochas once a week. Anna is from a well to do family and Liam thinks he has no chance with her, until one day, she returns to the island..the place where they played as children, the place where Liam first fell in Love with Ms. Annabel Leighton. Anna is nothing like the tabloids say she is, she is quite the opposite. Anna and Liam find love and will fight for it, no matter what. There are things...Otherworldy things, playing a cruel game and using them as pawns to see if humans really are capable of true love or if they will cave at the first signs of trouble. Will it tear them apart forever, or does love really conquer all? I've never read such a captivating book in what seems like forever..I really had a hard time putting this book down and basically read it in one day. Hauntingly beautiful..Thanks for this wonderful gift Ms. Lindsey <3

I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing, funny and very eye opening. Loved it! I think Ozzy has been misunderstood..lol..maybe not. All in all he's gone through alot of crap in life. How this man is still alive is beyond me. Someone was definitely watching over him. As for his wives..well kudos to them for putting up with his nonsense. Especially Sharon. Now that's a strong woman..to be almost killed by your husband and drop the charges because she truly believed he wasn't a bad guy, it's just he was someone else when he was high. That's true love my friends or they both are just plain crazy! Lol...great story and a must read! My first ever Biography:) very cool!
