When Ben Candido and his friends, Ricky and John, decide to post a YouTube video of themselves surfing on top of a car, they finally feel like the somebodies they are meant to be instead of the social nobodies that they are.

-BookPics Is Curious- Bookshelves Anyone?

OHMYGODLETMEJUSTGOAHEADANDSHAREMYPRETTIESWITHYOURIGHTTHISMOMENT! Wait!! Wait!! I'm supposed to be all civilized and stuff but seriously¿? WHO can be civilized and calm and you know, serious when talking about pretty amazing bookshelves. I might be biased because they're mine but I mean, I've gotta love them right? Remember when I went a bit away from the blog because of some RL stuff like a month ago? Well, one of those reasons was that my shelves were being made and when they delivered them the people making it had to come at least 4 more times to make some retouches and stuff so I had to be looking out for my baby, I mean, my precious bookshelf. After years and years of never having my own bookshelf. I'm incredibly happy to introduce IT to you >_< I feel so amazing and happy and since they're situated exactly after my house's foyer... EVERY SINGLE PERSON that comes inside sees them :D Though that might be, sometimes, counterproductive

-Review- With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent

Goodreads Shortie: What does it mean when your school is voted the most dangerous in America? It's time to kick some hellion butt... My Thoughts? I have to say, being me and feeling all the things I feel while reading a book. I have never EVER, in all my years as a reader, gone through something as powerful and as traumatic and as amazing as what I went through while reading With All My Soul. I take my shoes and hat off for author Rachel Vincent, who not only managed to keep me hooked in a series 7 books long but also made me forget all about the really scary sequel syndrome, the awful thing of having to give up on a series... And all the other bad things that might happen when reading a series. She not only made me forget but believe. To this day I have yet to read a book of hers (YA, since I've yet to read all of her adultPR ones) that hasn't left me speechless, breathless and begging for more. And with this last book came not only that awesome feeling
