A Beautiful Wedding (#2.5 in Beautiful Disaster Series) by Jamie McGuire

Hey Everyone!!

So Jamie McGuire made a super awesome announcement a couple of weeks ago, that had me squealing like a serious fan-girl!

Fans of Travis Maddox, from the Beautiful Disaster series will be thrilled to know that on December 10th (next Tuesday! One Week from today!!), the story of Abby and Travis's wedding will be revealed when Beautiful Wedding is released!

Well, thanks to the wonderful publishers at Atria I was lucky enough to get an advanced finished copy of the book last week, so of course, me being the squealing fan-girl started to devour it right away!

From Goodreads:



You know that Abby Abernathy unexpectedly became Mrs. Maddox. But what do you really know?

Why did Abby pop the question?
What secrets were shared before the ceremony?
Where did they spend their wedding night?
Who else knew about it . . . and didn’t tell?

Everything about Abby and Travis’s elopement was top-secret . . . until now. Fans of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster will get all of their questions answered in this whirlwind tale of the wedding day (and night!)—and as with all good stories, this one will definitely have been worth the wait.

My Thoughts:

First off, let me start by saying I was actually very excited to hear this part of Abby and Travis's story.  I read a couple of not so nice reviews, from people who HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE BOOK!!! saying they thought it was "Stupid" that Jamie wrote this story.  I personally love that she did! It gave us fans that little more piece of Travis; the bad boy of all of our fantasies ;).

Now that being said, I will admit Travis and Abby's choice of wedding was't really my style.  In fact, I've always hated the idea of a Vegas wedding.  To me it sounds tasteless.  ESPECIALLY with Elvis there.  Oh God, horrible!!

Now I am not going to sit here and judge Abby and Travis for wedding location choice, but to me I don't really find it romantic to run off without your friends and family being by your side and exchange vows in front of complete strangers who are only waiting for that pay check as soon as "I Do" is said.

HOWEVER, Abby and Travis definitely redeemed themselves at the end.  NOW that was a beautiful wedding!!

None the less, this story has Travis and Abby in it.  Two characters a lot of readers absolutely became infatuated with throughout Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster.  It is pretty obvious to me and hundreds of other readers that this couple is meant to be!  You cheer for them to make it work as you read these books!

So what do I rate Beautiful Wedding?





It was a great continuation to the story, a lovely conclusion that gave us even more of a closure to Abby and Travis, one that Jamie was already AWESOME to do for us in Walking Disaster!

I'd 100% recommend to fans of the series, and even those of you that love contemporary New Adult novels and haven't read them, CHECK IT OUT!!

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!!

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...
