Here I was thinking you were my light helping me see past everything, but you really were just pulling my strings. You're a disgusting human being and I hate the things you make me feel..." Honestly.  I thought I would not like this book with a passion to rival any other book I’ve never liked before.  Because I thought it’d center on Ria and her... struggles.  But then Kova happened and I couldn’t even remember to be angry and sad.  Y...

On My -Currently Reading- Shelf

Image
I have never been one to read more than one book at a time but for some reason I refuse to put 2 of the next 3 books back on my TBR pile and instead just continue having them on my Goodreads' -currently reading- shelf hahaha Actively reading; Claimed by M. Never (Decadence After Dark #2) - goodreads - MAN!!!!! These books are HAWT and SEXY and damn! Really... I have no words. They're yummy if you're into the dominant type ;) No more to say, just read them. They're fast reads too! The two books I'm not actively reading are; Salt by Nayyirah Waheed - goodreads - I'm easily influenced and convinced to try to read poetry, specially this kind AND it's all #bookstagram 's fault XD so that's why I even own this book, it was free and I had been seeing a lot of poems from it for a while now, I couldn't pass up the chance to download it to my kindle. I usually pull this up on my app when I'm waiting in line while running errands ...

Story Time?

Hi guys! It's been a while, hasn't it? I had so many goals set for this year, one of them being coming back to the blog and start sharing my reviews again, I wanted to start writing once again as well even vlogging maybe but sometimes even the most thought out and crafted plans can't prepare you for whatever things life might throw at you... This time I wasn't ready and even if I had seen it coming I still wouldn't have been ready. You see, my mom got really sick back in 2014, her kidneys had stopped working completely by September/October of that year so she had to get dialysis immediately and she would have to get them at least twice a week since then. She got sad for a while, my dad got angry, one of my sisters was abroad studying so she couldn't really grasp the concept of what was happening to my mom and my younger sister and I were just here to help pick up the pieces. But my mom, being the brave and faithful woman she always was and taught my sis...

I love reading! Do you? -BookPics Is Curious-

I never really thought bad things, really really bad things could happen to such good people. Not that this "bad" thing is anything new. But I always thought that something would give, you know? Like, life would be a little easier, friends would be easier to come by, money would be much more reachable. And a lot more. But now, my mom's been sick since fall last year and I thought it would somewhat change me, change me and my aversion to socialize, change me and my fear of new things, change me and my low self esteem, change me and my struggling to make decisions, change me and a whole family. The only thing so far that's really changed is my mom, I've seen her grow slowly and constantly and without a pause, weaker. Her family abandoning her and my dad's family being there when I thought they wouldn't really. I've seen my dad get years older in a matter of months, both my sisters and I live in denial. And my relationship with God take a nosedive....

The sisters are about to find out if the bond of sisterhood really trumps all. GOODREADS AMAZON B&N Melissa Foster is...

-Review & A Story- Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines

Goodreads shrotie: She is only nineteen. She is his new stepfather's daughter... Goodreads Amazon Book Depository The Story Well, it's been some time since I read this book but I'll try to just say a couple of things, First, the cover completely completely threw me off, as in I thought the book was going to be more about a girl and her life troubles and her overcoming life and obstacles and maybe even some unfortunate life/death experience and everything. At least that's what I thought just looking at the cover and since it is no news that I love amazing, shocking, attractive and well, beautiful book covers… I was all too happy to start reading the book. Then came the hype… The hype for this book X_X I had wanted to get it after I read the author's fantasy books but somehow all this fandom suddenly came out of nowhere and I had to put on hold my reading of the series in case some intelligent fan thought to spoil me the stories (it soooo did h...
