thirty-five, one hundred...

♥  ♥ ♥ 

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann was amazing!! I've read her other books and they were just as good as this book!! I had already started this book in August but I was only about two chapters in and then school started and I put this book off and then Sunday I decided to read the book and I finished the whole book while watching Godfellas! weird I know but that's how long it took me to read the book! lol I deffenly cannot wait to read The Unwanteds and I also cannot wait for her other book Dead to You to come out! Dead to You comes out on February 7, 2010.

This book is about this small town called Cryer's Cross. It started off when a freshmen, Tiffany had disappeared and no one could find her. Kendall is now a senior and her "boyfriend" / best friend Nico is the only person who understands her OCD but he's gone missing just after school year has started. While cleaning up the classroom one morning she noticed that the desk Nico sat at was Tiffany's desk as well before she gone missing. With such a small town it has a huge dark secret but Kendall doesn't want to saying anything about this coincidence and she needs help from a newcomer, Jacian if she wants to find Nico. In the book there are also some haunting passages from another world which can intrigue but also disturb the readers ( I know I was intrigue but a bit afraid ). This as far as I want to say on this book because any more I'll end up giving y'all spoilers of what's in this book!! 

This book was not boring at all! Even though it took me awhile to actually finish it, it did take me about wish hours to finish pretty much the whole book! That's gotta say something! I loved how Lisa McMann had given the main character OCD because there are not a lot of books that have OCD being the main part of the book and I coming from a place where I'm OCD(ish) and having friends that were OCD, I was able to relate to Kendall as well as Nico and Jacian as they were friends with Kendall and understanding that OCD is a part of her life.

Pennies from Heaven


This book was absolutely amazing!! I could not put it down at all!! It was free on Barnes and Noble so I figured I'd download it and see if it's any good and it is!! It's one of those must read books! I just checked on the amazon site and the book is for free for the kindle so if you have an iPhone or a iPod or any of those smartphones, go here to download it!! :)

Fools Rush In is about an almost 30 woman, Bella Rossi, who takes over her family wedding planning business. Bella lives in Texas with her parents, her aunt Rosa (mom's side) and Uncle Laz (dad's side) along with her younger sister Sophia. She also has three older brothers, one is married the other two aren't. (just a side note, they're all Italian). Bella had booked a "Boot Scoot'n" wedding and she was in need of a DJ that knows country music and her family only listens to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. So she's looking for a DJ and through a misunderstanding she gets the DJ, who also happens to be the man of her dreams, and that's when things just kinda started falling into place. Throughout the whole book there were some really funny parts that just made me laugh out loud and all of these mishaps that just made me cringe a little.

There were no parts in this entire book that I didn't like. There wasn't parts where I'd get bored and just not wanted to read the book. The book was fast paced and everything just flowed from one thing to another without making anything seem confusing. I loved how it was a mix of love and comedy. One thing for sure is that I'll be buying the other two books in the series!
