Breathe, Annie, Breathe (Hundred Oaks #5) by Miranda Kenneally (ARC Review)

Hey Everyone! :) Miranda Kenneally is one my favorite authors!  She's one of those authors where I will read their latest novel as soon as they are released!  I've reviewed all of her novels! I just can't get enough of her books! Well, thanks to Netgalley I got the amazing opportunity to review an ARC copy of Breathe, Annie, Breathe  #5 in The Hundred Oaks Series! From Goodreads : Annie hates running. No matter how far she jogs, she can’t escape the guilt that if she hadn’t broken up with Kyle, he might still be alive. So to honor his memory, she starts preparing for the marathon he intended to race. But the training is even more grueling than Annie could have imagined. Despite her coaching, she’s at war with her body, her mind—and her heart. With every mile that athletic Jeremiah cheers her on, she grows more conflicted. She wants to run into his arms…and sprint in the opposite direction. For Annie, opening up to love again may be even more of a challenge tha...

"Our Hearts are Broken Today"

As some of you may or may not know, I am going to college to become an elementary school teacher. I love children.  Always have! I hope to not only teach them, but also have a couple of my own ONE DAY, not right now but in the future! I helped out today at one of my town's local elementary schools, for their annual holiday classroom party.  I was there all day from 8 this morning until their early dismissal at 2.  Over this past year and a half of volunteering for the same teacher, we've gotten fairly close. So when she asked me to print out an email for her, from the school districts Super-Intendent I didn't think much of it, because I figured it was school related. Well, it was...but it 100% wasn't what I was expecting.  I thought it would be some news about an event in town, or something. No. It wasn't. Instead, it was the news that 12-15 children were killed in a K-4th grade school in Connecticut. Do you want to know what was going through my h...

One Day Movie...I finally saw it!!

Happy Sunday everyone! So I don't think I've done this in the past, but from now on I have decided to make a review on movies where I have read the books.  It will most likely not happen very often, but once in a while, there will be a movie review up! ***WARNING!!! May Contain SPOILERS*** So today, I FINALLY saw One Day with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess.  I read the book last year in September and Reviewed it, and absolutely adored it!  It is one of the most tragic love stories I have ever read!  So realistic, lovely, and moments of "I hate you so much right now" and "Oh I love you too!".  I just adored it! Well, anyway, so today I watched the movie...FINALLY!!  And even though I liked it, I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed throughout sometimes. Let me begin by saying that the book was very detailed.  It skipped from year to year, starting off in 1988, when Emma and Dex first met and their friendship began, all the way up until ...
