Genre: New Adult Romance It’s been six entire books since Eversea and I don’t know how I made it so far. I wanted to wait until reading Forever, Jack, because I didn’t want Keri Ann’s and Jack’s story to be over, and also because I wanted to have reading material to look forward to that… Continue reading Book: Forever, Jack (Butler Cove #2) ~ Natasha Boyd
Genre: Dystopian Science Fantasy My first dystopia. I don’t know why I haven’t read the genre before. I have watched movies, but not read books about it. Maybe I just do’t like reading about apocalypses? In 2157, a mysterious gas known as Variant spreads across the globe, killing or mutating most organic life. The surviving… Continue reading Book: The Amber Project ~ JN Chaney
Genre: Fantasy It was always going to be a risk, coming out with new Harry Potter material after so long. When the books were finished, fans all over the world were crying for more.

Genre: Historical Fiction Another huge book club pick. After The Unexpected Everything, I could have done with a novel less than 500 pages. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading huge novels. Especially when they’re so good, I can’t put them down. BUT, I have 3 other books I want to finish this month, and… Continue reading Book: Passenger (#1) ~ Alexandra Bracken
Genre: Young Adult / Contemporary I have mixed feelings about this book. And it’s all thanks to the end.

When I… Continue reading Book: The Unexpected Everything ~ Morgan Matson
Genre: New Adult This was a book group BOTM. I was not happy with any of the options, and I finally picked this one because of the interesting looking cover. And then sighed with annoyance when I saw that it was supposed to be a love story. I don’t like romance novels. The genre is… Continue reading Book: Eversea (Butler Cove #1) ~ Natasha Boyd
It’s raining outside. Not too heavy, not too light. The sky is gray and shadowed with clouds. Breeze is blowing in through the windows, bringing with it the wafting fragrance of talc and soap. Better than any expensive bottled perfume. The patter of the raindrops hitting the ground soothe and envelope me. I’m lying in… Continue reading Bursting with Happiness
