Hi There! Today I've got a review of Rebel Heart  by Moira Young, the second in the Dustlands Trilogy! As you might remember, I read Blood Read Road  about a year and a half ago! I initially started reading Rebel Heart  right after finishing Blood Red Road , but I got distracted with some other books and didn't really get back to it until I got this sudden urge to read it again! From Goodreads : Saba thought her world would return to normal after they defeated the Tonton and rescued her kidnapped brother Lugh. The family head west for a better life and a longed-for reunion with Jack. But a formidable enemy is on the rise. What is the truth about Jack? And how far will Saba go to get what she wants? Erin's Thoughts: Wow! I had completely forgotten how good these books were! They're so immersive! Every time, I get drawn into the world and the characters and the language!  After reading a ton of fantasy and not too much else, Rebel Heart  was just perfec...

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry it's been a while! School started five and a half weeks ago, along with my second job at the elementary school, so life has become just a tad crazy again.  Anyway, I've got a review for you!  I just finished The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell  by Chris Colfer! Instead of giving you the Goodreads description this time around, I'm actually going to give you my own description, because personally I feel the Goodreads one, just doesn't do the book justice! From  Goodreads The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell  by Chris Colfer is one of those books that if you love fairytales, you will not forget!  It is the story of Conner and Alex Bailey, twin siblings who are very different, but end up going on an incredible journey they will never forget.  When their grandmother gives them the fairytale book, that their deceased father used to read to them, for their birthday, neither of them expects to be literally pulled into t...

Could she be the key to unravelling the dark fabric of the Shadow Fold and setting Ravka free? The Darkling, a creature of seductive charm and terrifying power, leader of the Grisha. If Alina is to fulfill her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him. But what of Mal, Alina’s childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can’t she ever quite forget him? Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance. Erin's Thoughts: So I've been meaning to read Shadow and Bone  for quite a while now! Actually, I read it a few years back, but I realized that I barely remembered anything about...

Hey Everyone! I hope all of you are having a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!  I'm excited because I not only got the day off today, but FINALS ARE OVER!!! Which means...SUMMER SUMMER TIME!! Which also makes Cress by Marissa Meyer (the 3rd book in the Lunar Chronicles) my first official Summer Read!! :) From Goodreads : In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.   Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.   When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let ...

So I finally saw it!!! Yes!!! I just couldn't stand the wait anymore, so I bit the bullet and rented for the first time ever a movie over iTunes!! Janet Evanovich's first Stephanie Plum book, One for the Money was made into a movie and came into theaters earlier this year...like WAY EARLIER this year!  I actually read the book back in February ( Review can be found HERE!) and thought it was one of the funniest things ever!! Since then I've only only read the first and second, but enjoying every minute of it!  Katherine Heigl portrays Stephanie in the movie, and even though I've heard many complaints about the casting choice, for me it was great, because I actually read the book after I already knew she was portraying the role, so I imagined her as Stephanie while reading. I also actually really liked her brunette hair in the role! Overall, Katherine's portrayal was pretty good!  I will admit I did feel she had a tough time keeping up the Jersey accent at...
