Monday Mocha Madness!


This Monday I am going to review a book that made me have a mixture of emotions. It's called Full Measures by Rebecca Yarros.

19383432When I first saw this book, I contemplated very hard about actually reading it. It usually isn't my type. I don't really like anything with the army, mostly for the same reasons that Ember (the main character) hates it (only I've never actually lost a person to war). I guess I should really look up to our army more because of what they do for us, but their death is something that I hate. They die and even if I don't know them it still makes me sad. Of course, I have family -like my grandfather- who was enlisted as a luitenant. So I understand Ember's pov sorta. Everything about this book had me wrapped up with emotion like a wrapped up Christmas present. One moment I am grieving along with Ember and the next I'm laughing at something Josh said. This book made me feel (trust me I was crying like a baby during every chapter) unconditionally slap happy. And it's not an easy thing to do, making a reader feel exactly what the characters are feeling. Somehow this author literally has me wondering what happens next!! I skipped out on my homework just to finish! All of the characters were amazingly written and all had their own personalities. To be honest, it's a book like this (so emotional that you're bound to it) that proves that magic in this world exists...

So I dare you to read it! You won't regret it, hopefully.

Fudgy Friday's!

13372690It's another review today! Yes, I know that I do reviews everyday or try to, but today is especially Review day. Today I am doing a review of Slammed by Colleen Hoover!

Damn it! My whole pillow is freaking wet from my on and off hours of crying! Thanks for that Colleen. Heehee anyways...this wasn't my first time reading Slammed, but it is my second time. And boy do I STILL love it. And to be completely honest ('cuz you know me I'm an honest honey bee) I think I liked it better the second time around than the first! No wait...that's not right. I fudging LOVED IT the 2nd time around. Yeah my eyes are red and brimming with tears, but it's because Slammed has something that a lot of books don't have anymore. Slammed is real, it has heart, and most of all it has a soul. I can tell by reading this that Colleen put her heart, blood, and sweat into every word. And because of that, it's become one of my top favorites.... See totally wrote a review without giving anything away! (Needed to lighten the mood ;) yeah...nailed it! *fistpump*

There it is. And I hope you read it, because Slammed is one of the best books I've ever read. And you should also check out Mrs. Hoover's new book Ugly Love! It's amazing and maybe I'll review that one too, very soon!!

Chocolates and Apologies

Hey guys! I want to say to whoever reads my reviews that I'm really sorry that I haven't been on here since forever. One of the reasons is because my computer sucked. Note the past tense. Yes! I finally got a new computer!! So I will be writing a lot more reviews and trying to come up with something fun in the process. Another reason is school. Yep, college in high school was very busy stuff, but now I am a full time college student. Which means that I probably will still have no time to write or post. It sucks I know, but I started this blog and I am not giving up on it. Books are my life and if I can't review and gush about them then I'll just be a reader.

I am also going to try and update my blog. I want to make it more...I don't know. Bloggy? Anyways, if you happen to come upon this blog or this post then please subscribe and pass on the name to this blog! I will be putting up a review policy for authors and publishers and way more cool things. And hopefully I can also set up a few giveaways!

Thanks, whoever is reading this. And thanks to whoever follows me!

Pixie Stix!


 
4070493 I refuse to start this review off with a "need" pun!! I am not a pixie (king or nae king) therefore I have no NEED to do that. Hehehe see what I did there *wiggles eyebrows* Alright overused and probably not that cool punning aside... This wasn't the best book ever, I didn't end up with a hangover :( BUT! It was really cute! Yes cute. If your looking for hot then go read love an skate by Lila Felix. No this was cute. I do have to say that Nick is very sexy...ish, at times, so that made the story a whole lot better. Though please! They must stop they're...how do you call it???? Unsarcastical banter? These two characters are just not sarcastic as hard as they keep trying! What I did like was the new usage of pixies. They aren't like Fairies, of course not. They are Pixies. I also like the setting and plot of the story...kind of. And was I the only one connecting the real Betty White to the character, Betty White, in this book? They're both old, they're both witty, and they both have strong personalities. Ehem...well other than that it was pretty good and now it is on to the next book!! ;)

Sweet Juice Pops! I love this book!

Thans to Ms. Raine, I got an ARC of Meant For Her! I absolutely loved it! There is one thing that I do not do, for those of you that don't know me. My reviews never really point out what the story is about. If you wanted to know that stuff, you can look up the synopsis or read the book. Plus, I hate spoilers and I think it's best if I do things this way. So here's my honest review:

There are some people who think a book is judged one whether you enjoyed it or not. And you'd be right. And what most people also know is that that's not all a good book has. A good book has spunk, emotion, and heart. Meant For Her had all of these things. I laughed and cried. Yeah I know...Imma dork. But whatever! I love this book! In fact, I'll probably re-read it over and over again! What I love about Raine's stories is that they have life in them! They're not cardboard and all flat. No they're sweet and full of life!

And that's why it belongs here, among all the other books I call sweet! Because it's here on my blog, where it becomes one of the crystal candies!

~ with loads of book sweetshop love

Poppin popcorn book movies!

This is gonna be something new that I'll try doing! :) basically I will be talking about books that became movies and what I think about them! :D so keep watching for that! Well today we will be starting this shindig with City of bones!!! *sqeals totally like a fangirl* yep, I got to see it! *smug smile creeps onto face* Jace was soooooo fudging hot! I was like red in da face the entire time and I think I hurt my moms eardrums by my endless squealing. Of course, only Jace would make me do that....well him and Daemon Black and maybe mr yummy Caleb Jacobson. ehem okay getting off track. So let's just say I got all hot and bothered! *blushes* I would've pictured some of the characters differently, like Isabel, Luke, and well I have mixed feelings about Magnus. Yes I sort of picked something else but at the same time I agreed with their choice. And Valentine had White Hair right? Yeah not in the movie. Other than that it was pretty fudging spot on! Oh and I still don't get why Jace, Isabel, Alec, and hodge among other characters had english accents!! * throws up hands* nowhere in the book did they have English freaking accents! Yeesh! So yeah. To sum it all up, it was sexy, awesome, thrilling, and at some points downright creepy! Well like the demons were like super creepy.

Yup I give it a 5 star!

Love,

Lol (no not laugh out loud...more like lots of love),
U would think that huh?
Nah I am way better than that!
Awesome its my middle name...

Want a proper good bye? Look up. Love...who now? ;)

Wednsday updates!

Hey dudes!!! Yeesh summer is almost over and that means back to college for me! :( it will also mean less reading too. Grrr! The good news is Jennifer l. Armentrout's new book in the lux series (which I love, as you know) will be out on the 27th!! Can't wait! So basically at the moment I am re-reading ALL of her books.

I also was VERY happy to recieve another ARC from the magnificent Lila Felix who is also posted in my blog. I will be posting a review and I have also signed up for her blog tour. So Sept. 4,5,6 were the three dates that I picked! Sooo excited!

I will also be watching City of bones either today or sometime next week. I will post what I thought about the movie and my opinion about it! :D so keep an eye out for that.

Now, I know I haven't posted things in a long while! And before you think or say anything negative, it's because I don't have a computer right now! Everything is being sent from my phone. So virtually it's hard to update blog posts all the time. Of course I'm always on here so if you have any suggestions on books to read, comment and I'll post a review. (Yes I will review your book for free)

Okay last thing, I promise. If you want to find me. You can email me at lunabookjunkie@gmail.com! Or if you're a true book fan then you can also find me on goodreads, just look up chris woo.
