Happy New Year's Eve!!

It is the last day of 2011! I only have 7 hours left of 2011 and this year has flown by! One of my goals this year was to read 111 books but I only got 19 books read this year and I'm not regretting it at all. I've been so busy with working full time and going to school full time that I barely get in anytime to read a book. I haven't decided how many books I'll read for 2012. I was thinking either 50 books (a book a week) or 144 books (12 books a month). I may go towards 50 books since it'll be a lot easier for me! I put off reading any books for the last week since I'm in Florida and I'm visiting family here. Since I'm going back home tomorrow (13ish hours drive) so I'll be able to read and finish a book tomorrow (and possibly post a review when I get home)!

ex·pa·tri·ate - A very lucky person living in a foreign land.

Single in the City by Michele Gorman was without a doubt the best book ever! I rarely read books that are based in other countries (mostly because not a lot of authors write books that are mainly based in another country). Reading this book just made me want to go to London even more! I've always wanted to go to London to see all of what's there and reading this book kinda gave me a glimpse of what London has to hold.

Single in the City is about a 26 year old American who flies to London on the spur of the moment. She has no job, no friends and no clue on how to "build" her dream life. While in search of new love, new life and a sense of herself, she meets new roommates (who are from Australia) and new friends who all help her as she goes on the search for Mr. Right.

Things I loved about this book, what's not to love? I loved it all! It was funny and it was fast-paced. Reading this book, I could actually put myself in Hannah's place and see it all in my mind as if I was living that life. I was reading this late last night and everyone was asleep and I had to hold my laugher in because I didn't want to wake anyone up. There wasn't any thing that was bad about this book. I didn't get confused at any parts throughout the book or have to go back and reread something because it didn't make sense or anything. The book just flowed along and there wasn't a single boring part in this book!

Haven't been on here in awhile!

Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't been on here in quite a bit! I've been busy with finals at school and work and I'm reading four books all at the same time so it's taking me some time to actually finish them! I'm almost done with at least two of them so hopefully I'll be able to finish them this weekend when my Thanksgiving break starts and I'll post the reviews for them as soon as possible!

These are the books that are on my to read list!

two new books!!

Bought The Next Always by Nora Roberts! and I just got Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman in the mail today! I got it for free from some site or something lol. So I'll be reading these two books and have a review posted for them soon! :)

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.
