Straight Stalk

♥  ♥ ♥  

Straight Stalk by Tera Lynn Childs was a really good book! It was about this girl, Bethany Lange who is from the South (like me!) and she had a history of boyfriends turning gay. She was signed onto a tv show that's similar to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy ( I read somewhere that they were similar to each other). She was a consultant on for helping with picking out clothes for the guys. There was five other guys on the show (all gay) and one of them was her ex-boyfriend, Evan and she had a major crush on another one, Chris. When she finds out that her ex was on the show, she wanted to prove that he wasn't gay and with the help of Chris and Kit (Chris sister and her helper at her shop) she stalked Evan to find some proof that Evan was really straight. Don't want to give you any more without giving away the ending! 

The book was funny pretty much all throughout the book. I loved how Bethany's southern manners was displayed in the book, I loved how it wasn't just shown in the beginning and then disappear as the book went on. The manners kept popping up and made the book even more funny at certain parts. As for Evan, I kept on guessing on whether he was truly gay or if he was straight the entire time I was reading the book. There wasn't much that made me hate the book, I mean I'm giving it 5 hearts! The book was really well written and there wasn't any parts that made me get confused and have to go back and re-read to understand it. It was a book that I was able to read from beginning to end without any confusion. I definitely can say that I will be putting the rest of Tera Lynn Childs' books onto my to-read list because I'm sure the other books will be as good as this book was!

Do you listen to music while reading? What kind of music do you listen to while reading?


I always have music playing when I'm reading, either off my computer or I'll put on my headphones on. I always have either classical music or songs that are slow. Those fast paced songs tends to distract me and I lost focus of what I'm reading.Most of the time, I end up tuning out the music whenever I"m into a really good book and whenever I'm done reading or take a break I'll remember that I had music playing. The one song that I love listening to while reading (and I don't know why) is A Little Past Little Rock by Lee Ann Womack.

Do you listen to music while you're reading? Why or why not? What type of music do you listen to? Any songs that you always have playing while reading?

A Little Bit About Me!

Heyy! So my name is Shelby! I'm 19 and in college right now! I decided to do a book review blog because I love reading! I mean I have two bookcases and they are overflowing with books and pretty much every surface in my room is covered with even more books! Ask anybody that knows me well and they'll tell you that you'll see me reading a book like all the time, I'm never without a book! This post is basically just an introduction to my blog site and what to expect and information of how my site works! First off since I am new at this, my reviews may seem different from what you would expect in a review but after awhile my reviews will change and fit to the way I would like to review books and so on... I already started a book review on another site and I decided to go ahead and post them on here so that way people can see my other reviews since it'll be awhile before I'll post a new review!
