Waking Up Married by Mira Lyn Kelly Review

I've officially read my first book of 2013!!! Only 99 more to go!!! :)

This first book is called Waking Up Married, and it is by Mira Lyn Kelly!

From Goodreads:
 Waking Up Married

Her first thought: "Who are you?"

It's the morning after her cousin's bachelorette party in Vegas and Megan Scott wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Even worse, she's in a stranger's penthouse having woken up with something else as well—a funny, arrogant, sexy...husband!

Up until now, finding even a boyfriend had seemed impossible—been there, got the broken heart, sworn off men for good. Then a few martinis with Carter...no, Connor Reed and she's gone from first meet to marriage in one night!

Megan wants a lawyer. But Connor's shocking bombshell?

"I don't want a divorce."

My thoughts:

A cute contemporary novel!  It was a nice simple relaxing read, that didn't need you to be thinking a lot.  However, I was confused at times about the main characters pasts, because the author is pretty cryptic about that.  She later explained, but it was a tad annoying.  
I didn't completely understand the whole marriage bargain...Connor wasn't looking for love, in fact he didn't believe in it, he only wanted a wife and children to take care of, and be there for him and his business.  It was odd though, because he is REALLY sweet!  A bit weird, with the whole love thing, but overall a great guy!
 Megan I didn't understand how she could go through with that sort of arrangement, but I guess each to their own haha. They were a really cute couple though, and the reader should be able to notice right away that they are great together!

Overall rating:

  

It was enjoyable, loved that it was free on Amazon, so I was able to get a finished copy, instead of reading the ARC I had received from Netgalley, instead.  I'd recommend it, if you're looking for a fun easy read.  It's definitely a cute contemporary romance book, and I am glad I read it, because sometimes these are just the types of books a girl needs! :)

    I got this as a kindle freebie too! Glad to hear it's a good read. I'm really hoping I can get to read it this year.

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
