The Romance Bookie

So it's been a while!  Reading has just been pretty much impossible with my schedule, but I finished my homework before my Spring Break next week, and decided to finish a book I've been reading for literally two months! Yes I know...tragic! But anyway, I finished it last night!  Please do know I have read a couple of books since then, I just haven't reviewed them, because they were ARCs of some rather SUPER special books from a certain ABSOLUTE Favorite author of mine for which an annual event announcement is coming soon ;). Anyway, I finished Cora Carmack's All Broke Down  the second in the Rusk University Series! From Goodreads : In this second book in  New York Times  and  USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack s New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with  All Lined Up,  a young woman discovers that you can't only fight for what you believe in... sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

Hey Everyone!! I am very excited to welcome Jessica Brody for an interview today in honor of 2015 Ontario Teen Book Festival!! From Goodreads The Romance Bookie: Would you tell us a bit about your new book, the final book in the Unremembered Trilogy,   Unchanged ? Jessica Brody: Well, there's only so much I can tell you without spoiling all the great twists in books 1 & 2.  But I will say that this final installment has the most sci-fi, the largest cast, the most kissing scenes, the most world-building and the most explosions. TRB: Was it difficult coming up with an ending for the entire series that you were completely satisfied with? JB:  Absolutely! And actually, my editor and I disagreed about what the ending should be.  I had to fight REALLY hard for this ending.  So I hope you love it! If not, don't tell my editor ;). TRB:  What has been the most difficult thing to get used to since becoming a published writer? And the most fun...

Hello!  A new book from the author of the Unearthly Trilogy -- Cynthia Hand! This is a vastly different book from Unearthly .  It's a much heavier subject matter and it's a contemporary -- although it does involve a ghost...Anyways, here is my review below! From Goodreads : There's death all around us. We just don't pay attention. Until we do. The last time Lex was happy, it was before. When she had a family that was whole. A boyfriend she loved. Friends who didn't look at her like she might break down at any moment. Now she's just the girl whose brother killed himself. And it feels like that's all she'll ever be. As Lex starts to put her life back together, she tries to block out what happened the night Tyler died. But there's a secret she hasn't told anyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything. Lex's brother is gone. But Lex is about to discover that a ghost doesn't have to be real to keep you from moving on. Fr...
