Hey Everyone!! So before now, I have never read a book by Colleen Hoover...I know, I know, some of you must be asking yourself, "What?!! WHY?!!"  And trust me when I say, I started asking myself that exact same question about half way through Maybe Someday , Colleen's latest release. Thanks to Atria, I received a review copy of Maybe Someday , a few weeks ago, and finally got around to reading it the last couple of weeks (yes, couple of WEEKS, sorry guys, I've been busy unfortunately!) Anyway here's my review! :) From Goodreads : At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next. Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or s...

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...

Coming out March 19th, 2013 Heart Like Mine by Amy Hatvany is a novel that will have fans of Jodi Piccoult and Emily Giffin wanting more! From Goodreads :   Thirty-six-year-old Grace McAllister never longed for children. But when she meets Victor Hansen, a handsome, charismatic divorced restaurateur who is father to Max and Ava, Grace decides that, for the right man, she could learn to be an excellent part-time stepmom. After all, the kids live with their mother, Kelli. How hard could it be? At thirteen, Ava Hansen is mature beyond her years. Since her parents’ divorce, she has been the one taking care of her emotionally unstable mother and her little brother—she pays the bills, does the laundry, and never complains because she loves her mama more than anyone. And while her father’s new girlfriend is nice enough, Ava still holds out hope that her parents will get back together and that they’ll be a family again. But only days after Victor and Grace get engaged, K...

In My Mailbox was originally started by The Story Siren and it's where anyone can participate and let everyone know what they got in books, and other book related things, throughout a given time.  Anyone with a blog can join in, and you can post once a week, once a month, or whenever you choose to. Remember everyone, this is a MONTHLY IMM, not weekly!! So I got once again some totally awesome books!! This was actually also a super great month in great deals on E-books! I have this policy where I refuse to spend anything over $2.99 on an ebook, why?  Well, because most of the time if the book is over that than it's between $7.99 and $9.99, and once in a while even up to $12.99!  When that's the case, well, I look up how much the hard copy costs on Barnes And Noble online, and usually it's around $10...so instead of paying $7.99 or $9.99 for an ecopy that I will never enjoy looking at the cover, I buy the hard copy that gives me the opportunity to a...

Hey Everyone!! Today's a sad day... Why? One word... School. Summer has come and gone, way too fast, friends have left to head off to their schools, and now it's time to get back to business. Luckily, I believe I will still have time for reading, because my online classes allow me to do that!  Which is AWESOME!!! Reviews might just not be coming in as normal as usual.  But I'm hoping to have at least one up a week! :) So now to my review!! Actually before I go into The Next Best Thing , I wanted to say some back ground information about Jennifer Weiner, the author. Jennifer Weiner is not only the bestselling author of books like In Her Shoes , which was made into a movie quite a few years ago, featuring Cameron Diaz; but she was also the writer and creator of the ABC Family TV series State of Georgia , which featured Raven Symone ( The Cosby Show & That's So Raven ). Why am I bringing this up, you may be wondering? Well, after reading The Next...
