Paper Princess and Popsicles

Hey Sweeties! 

I am absolutely in shattered right now! *weeps*

All of my feels are scattered in little fractures all around me and I don't even know which one to feel first! It's ugh! I want to just open the book right back up again, but I don't because it's just too soon and I'm still reeling from the first time! Grrr....I just want MORE! I want more of Reed and Ella. I want more of the other Royal brothers too. Can I though? Nope. Book 2 doesn't even come out until JULY! *sobs* I NEED THIS BOOK NOW! I literally feel like I'm going to burst if I don't get this book now!! This book was so phenomenal it's not even funny. Saying I love this book is an understatement. I can't even find the word to describe my love! This has definitely became my favorite book! It's way way way up on my favorites list and I have a Feeling it's not coming down ever.
This book to say in the least was about a girl who was alone. She finds someone who needs her just as much as she needs him. At first I didn't love this book not until it opened up like a blooming flower and swallowed me whole. All of the characters were so real and they grew so many feelings in me. The major one was love. I fell in love with Reed. Even if he wasn't the most "conventional" guy he was real and he was imperfect. But ultimately he touches a part of your heart and makes you love his character sooooo much. I honestly loved all the brothers and the way the main character slowly became connected to them. The relationship that bloomed between the characters was just poetic and awesome!

Before I started this book I really thought that it was going to turn out like one of my more recent "Suckerz" Corrupt by Penelope Douglas. I mean technically that was my fault for picking such a dark read, I mean it's all in the title right? But still. Anywayz, the point is, that I thought - based on the storyline - that it was going to be similar to this Corrupt. I don't know why I just did. Boy, was I surprised when it WASN'T! Nope it was way way wayyyyy better. In fact it really wasn't anything like the Corrupt and when I read the prompt I thought it might be darker romance, but it wasn't. In fact, even though they both have pasts, they weren't like SUUUUPPPER dark. Weeeell, that depends on how you look at it. What I mean by dark is that it's not disturbing dark. It's "she has a past that made her into the person today" dark. Where her childhood wasn't entirely conventional, so to speak.

Still I LOVED the optimism the Ella had. Despite the situations, she mulled through and added a somewhat optimistic outlook on it. I won't she's perfect or that I agreed with all of her ideas, but she was a great character that was very "REAL". So was Reed and even now I'm still rooting for them no matter what!

Overall I give this book a FREAKING 5 stars and if you want to be blown away I'd suggest this books 10 times over again!!! So read it because I want to reread it soooo badly! ugh!

Jupin' Jelly Beans! It's been a while...

Hellllooo Sweeties!

I hate that I've been M.I.A in a while. For those who are new, welcome! I haven't posted in awhile because school has kept me SUUUPER busy. That's no excuse! For those of you who are very not new and are frequent visitors, welcome back! This is summer so hopefully, I will be posting more stuff :)

Soooo...I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately either. There wasn't much time last semester. Summer semester is going to be hectic I won't lie, but I have been reading as much as I could before my classes start, which means more posts :D  Not to mention my upcoming schedule has a bunch of books hat I want to read!

Alrighty then here is the upcoming schedule:

Currently Reading
  • The Forbidden Men series - I don't know if I've mentioned this series before on here, but I think I have. If I haven't then here's the bottom line...I LOVE this series! It's awesome and the newest two books just came out recently. This lovely series is written by Linda Kage and I have to say I was pumped to start on these two new babies that I went off my reading schedule a bit. The problem with starting a new book is it starts a chain of events that reminds me of If you give a mouse a cookie. If I start on a new book in a series I'm going to want to reread all of the past books too...and so on. lol XD So that is what I've been doing. To save some time though, I went ahead and just read my faves in the series and the one that I forgot the plotline to.
  • Paper Princess by  - So funny story...I started this book right after I finished The girl's got secrets by Linda Kage. I did this on purpose because I wanted to fit in a new book (in a series I haven't read yet) into the mix since I haven't done that in a while. I wanted to read it now because school will be starting on Monday and I also wanted to put a gap before I read the latest book in The Forbidden Men series. The reason for this is because it's one of the characters that was from a separate age group and isn't quite "part of the forbidden group" as the other characters are. So I decided to treat it like a spin off of sorts and put a little gap before reading it. *shrugs* plus I think I had a little overload of forbidden men...yeah way too much in one sitting. So back to Paper Princess. It's going good so far, but I'm not so sure I like it yet. I'm keeping an open mind though and I really really like the storyline :) Kind of reminds me of a novella called Maria del barrio. Only in book form and in English lol
To Be Read List
       
The following list is going to be in numerical order on what I will be planning to read next. I've never planned my TBR list this way before, but I'm going to try to stick to it. I'm hoping that this will help me post more while I'm busy with school and it will also be easier to know what I want to read lol. Okay so here it is sweeties!
  1. Priceless by Linda Kage -enough said about this read lol
  2. Fever - Melissa Pearl
  3. The Nick Chronicles - I haven't decided yet whether or not I will be rereading this series or not. I don't believe that I really posted reviews on this series so I might reread in order to refresh my memory as well as get ready for the Newest addition to the series that just came out in May! I waited so long and it wasn't even funny how the author changed the release date!
  4. Six of Crows (this may or may not change)
  5. Grey Wolves series by Quinn Loftis - this is a definite reread since I'm 99.9% sure I haven't really posted a review on this series. Plus I haven't read this series in sooooo long! But it was one of my favorites so I'm willing to reread and read the newest baby in this series too! lol
  6. Shadow and Bone (this may be subject to change)
  7. Sweet evil series - this is loosely added to the list. I kind of miss this series so I've been planning on rereading this, but I want to read so many new books that I may not do this. Plus just look at this list! It's huge!
So this is the Plan plus a little update. I try to at least give you guys an update every month. SO that's something right? I will try to finish Paper Princess this weekend and also give you all a review on The Girl's Got Secrets as well. Okay sweeties I gotta go, but have a FANTASTIC weekend and I'll be writing soon so keep an eye out...well you should probably keep both open since it's dangerous to only keep one open. That, and people will start to think you have a stye or something. Just talking from experience lol.  ;)
