Beautiful Player (Beautiful Bastard #3) by Christina Lauren

***WARNING***ADULT CONTENT INVOLVING INAPPROPRIATE SUBJECTS FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18!!!***

Hey Everyone!!

It's been a while once again, but I've finished another awesome book, and just wanted to share my thoughts with you!

From Goodreads:



A bombshell bookworm. A chronic Casanova. And a lesson in chemistry too scandalous for school.

When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she’s determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?

Will takes risks for a living, but he’s skeptical about this challenge of Hanna’s…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed- and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can’t forget. Now that Hanna’s discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it’s up to Will to prove he’s the only man she’ll ever need.

My Thoughts:

Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren is the third and final whole number novel in the Beautiful Bastard series...yes I'm so sad!  I've fallen for this series this year!  Luckily this past Tuesday they released the last novella in the series, Beautiful Beginning, so I at least have one more book in the series to look forward to before the water works actually begin.

Anyway, Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren is the story of Will and Hanna.  Will was introduced to us in Beautiful Bombshell (#2.5 in the series), and possibly also Beautiful Stranger, but unfortunately I can't remember him in that one.

Hanna is this great character who in some ways very much reminded me of myself, just because up until late last year I was very much so the person who also kept her face hidden in books, and didn't do anything besides read, and stay home every weekend.

I love how she allowed herself to just let loose and enjoy her life, something that I have learned to do too very recently.  We both have enjoyed making new friends, starting new relationships, and just have fun with ourselves and the people around us!

While I have enjoyed all the books in this series, I will admit Beautiful Player was probably my absolute favorite in the series, if I had to choose one.

My overall rating:

I highly would recommend this series to adults who love romance, with a little sexiness involved!  It will have you routing for each and every character, and just wanting to know more and more about their lives!  It's like a fictional Pop Culture Magazine!  Addicting!

Something I have truly enjoyed throughout this series, is that while each book is the story of a new set of characters, the old characters are always a huge part of it!  I love it when authors do that!

So definitely check this series out!  You can check them all out on Christina Lauren's Amazon Page! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!! I'm planning on seeing Catching Fire tomorrow, so that review will hopefully be up on Sunday! :)

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...
