Sunday Life Recap! I Miss You All!

I am BACK! For now. Okay who knows. But don't lose faith in me. Don't forget to follow me on snapchat @ alba_bookpics And also on Instagram @ alba_bookpics I've been getting a LOT into makeup lately so you'll find I sometimes post my book related pictures with a makeup twist but they look pretty, I promise, kinda, I don't know. Hehehehe But even though I haven't been active on the blog, although depression and anxiety have had a lot to do with it, I have been seriously active on those 2 platforms plus my Facebook page BookPics (Follow there!!!) and sometimes I pop up on Twitter @ alba_bookpics (shamelessly asking you guys to practically stalk me everywhere hahahaha) all of this info you can find on the right sidebar of the blog ^__^ I have also been reading a lot. Stalking a lot of authors but sadly I haven't been stalking my favorite bloggers and that is something I regret a lot because this blog plus the videos I used to record were the one t...

-Review- The Dirt On Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones

Image
- Goodreads - Amazon - The Book Depository - **Spoiler alert for all personas who have not read any of the 8 previous Charley Davidson books and a wake up call for you to do so. Yesterday!!** I am dead. I'm a walking dead. The walking dead. The ones that roam the earth. Without a heart. Without a soul. Because they were both taken away by perfectly written characters, characters such as Reyes and Charley or Janey or whatever you want to call her. Fictional characters, non-breathing characters but perfect and awesome nonetheless. So there you go, that's my story. The one of how I became a zombie while reading a book. How one little thing destroyed me so much... Because you know what? He's loved her for 1000 and one. ------------- -- "So, why are you living in a motel?" I felt a slight bristle come off him. "I was... seeing someone." A soft gasp escaped me. No idea why that would surprise me. "Was?" "S...

Darynda Jones Made Me Do It...

This, I meant this. The fact that it's been over 6 months since I last posted kind of gives you an idea of how crazy my life has been not that I haven't been reading... But something about a loved one being sick and dealing with your own stuff it just... It hasn't been as easy or as manageable as I thought it'd be BUT that is SO not why I'm here for. I've been reading and reviewing books for years now but somewhere in between I lost track, missed the train and lost myself so I figured if I couldn't manage to post it here on my blog the least I could do is submitting my reviews for all those eARCs that Netgalley miraculously continues to approve to me XD (And it sure has been my salvation when I couldn't get my hands on some new releases last year.) So that's what I've been doing, reading and reviewing on netgalley only and then track my reads through goodreads ... But then the unthinkable happened... I finally caught up with all the C...

No Strings Attached by Candy Caine

Image
Two passionate stories of women finding love when they least expect it... Never is Not Forever  Claudia Brown has the perfect life, full of all the trappings of success. She has put herself through school and has worked hard to become the youngest English department chairperson at a prestigious ivy-league university. One trap she swears to avoid is marriage—a sure-fire way to constrain her career. Besides, she likes playing the field. But when Claudia realizes her biological clock is a ticking time bomb, she decides to have a baby—minus the attachment of the father. After a meticulous search she finds the perfect specimen: Robert Sterling, a smart, sexy, fellow professor. But she doesn’t factor in the one thing that can derail her entire campaign—falling in love with the sperm donor! Forever Yours  When Jade Green meets successful trial lawyer, Charles Trotter, she finds herself relaxing in the warmth of his smiles and his off-beat humor. Best of all, even though h...

Wish To Be Reading... #4 (Paranormal Romance)

Image
Romance Edition Another Friday, another wishful read. Oh my GOD!!! I think it's been over a year since the book I want to be reading today was released, I tried to keep up with how the books were being released but by the time I found out about the series 4 were already out so it was easy. What I didn't expect was my instant addiction to the characters, the story, and the author's writing *^* It's just so, enjoyable and incredible, I'm instantly transported to wherever the story is taking place never mind that I've never been there in my life lol. Anyway, I caught up but when I found out this was the LAST book in the series I lost it and refused (up until now... still going strong though) to read it. I've been lost in denial ever since, reading and rereading the previous books for all I am worth hehehehe. So... I really wish I could be able to read (but can't make myself do it even after getting multiple copies...) ~~~~~ ...

Wish To Be Reading... #3 (YA)

Image
Another Friday, another wishful read. YA Edition! Today I would love to be able to reread a favorite book of mine. One that got to me in so many ways, I was a completely different person when I finished reading it. It was one of the very first contemporary books I read (Second only to, If I Stay by Gayle Forman) and wow, simply wow. I really wish more people knew about this book but for the time being I'll just wish I could be reading... ~~~~~ Goodreads - Amazon  - My Review ***Marc said he heard the dark song when he creeped houses. The song the predator's heart sings when it hears the heart of the prey. I heard it now. Marc said it had always been in me. Lurking. Waiting for me to hear.*** ~~~~~ I loved this book, hope I get to read it again sometime soon. Until next time my beautiful people <3 -Alba
